I’ve always been a huge fan of the signature Veronica Lake curls. It’s even a hairstyle that I debated getting from my wedding, but in the end, I opted to wear my hair up. However, on many occasions, I’ve wanted that vibe, but in a slightly looser, modern way. To achieve this look, I’ve partnered with Nexxus New York Salon Care and called in Erica from Pin Me Up Hair, to help me out!
Products Used:
*Nexxus Promend Heat Protecting Mist
*Nexxus Mousse + Volumizing Foam
*Nexxus Maxximum Finishing Mist
*Soft Bristle Brush
*1″ curling iron
The Steps:
1. On slightly damp hair, apply a handful of Nexxus Mousse + Volumizing Foam from roots to ends. This will give your hair body and help hold the style.
2. Lightly blow dry. Once hair is dry, part it to the side that you prefer and spritz with Heat Protecting Mist. Since this style requires lots of heat from the curling iron, this will serve as a protective barrier for your hair.
3. Start with the front piece and using the curling iron, taking 1″ pieces, curl away from your face.
4. The key to this style is to curl each piece in the same exact direction. Normally, when I curl my hair, I curl some pieces towards my face and some away, but with this look, all the same exact direction.
5. Get the curls somewhat tight and don’t brush them out just yet. We want to wait until the very end so the curl takes shape.
6. Now, once you have your entire hair curled, use a soft bristled brush to lightly brush them out.
7. Once they’re brushed out, you should be left with a soft, modern take on the Hollywood glam look.
8. Spray with Maxximum Hold Finishing Mist for long lasting control that’s soft to the touch and you’re done!

This is a go-to hairstyle of mine – love it! You should mention that you part your hair to one side, and start curling away from your face on the side that has less hair, so that by the time you wrap around to the side that has more hair, you are curling towards your face, as you did above. That – and the brushing-out – are what separate this look from modern curly styles where you curl away from your face on both sides, and mix-up directions.

You look absolutely gorgeous, Helena! Your hair turned out beautiful, I like it both with the curls and with the more waved out look, you should wear your hair like this more often! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you’re having a great day!
