Hi. Thank you for this tutorial. Would your technique differ for a bob wig?
¡Excelentes videos, explicaciones súper detalladas, como de una profesora de universidad! ¡Nueva suscriptora aquí! ¡Saludos desde Puerto Rico!
Run DMC has a song about just this!!! 🎶it's tricky to wave a bob, to wave a bob, thats right on time, it's trickayyyyy🎶!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍☃️🎄🎅
LOL!! Love that Jenni!
It’s trickaaaay! Love it - So fun!
Ok, you win the interwebs today! I laughed
@@GlamGirlGabi ikr??? Can you hear the song now???👍🥳👍
@@MusicLover-sb7mo lolol now it's in the brain all day!!!🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Yes, I am one of those who likes slowly detailing videos. That’s why I much more prefer KZhead than any other platform.
I'm so happy to hear that Danielle! These videos are actually a lot easier for me to make and I REALLY enjoy filming them because I feel like I am hanging out with you guys but I am always worried they will bore the heck out of people. But if you really want to learn something well, you need TIME. You need time to see it over and over again. Thanks for commenting and letting me know. It encourages me to make more of these.
You are a fantastic teacher Gabi! I love all of your hair tutorials, including this one. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.
You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot to me.
You are the best at explaining things! So easy to understand for us that have difficulty. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! I am so happy to help!
You are so sweet! And kind to ur subscribers. And the honesty… I trust you. The authenticity is obvious. Thank you! I’ll bet your friends and family are very proud of you just as a human.
What an incredibly sweet message. Thank you for saying that. It actually means the world to me.
You deserve it! ❤
I like the slow speed talk through...ten thumbs up!
Yay! I am so happy that you found this helpful. I always worried that these videos would be too long and boring for people but in the end, they are more helpful then super sped up versions that are hard to follow.
Thank you for showing all the way around your head without speeding up! Great tutorial ❤
I am so glad that you noticed that. I am going to make a whole series of styling tutorials that are slower moving and not sped up. I find that my sped-up tutorials are only good if you know how to do it already and need a refresher. If you don't know, it's too hard to follow.
Gabi, could you do a video on how to truly deal with the natural hair one has…. a video which addresses how to make the most of our hair naturally without all the tools , products, and damage and time….. for instance…. Cuts that can be worn air dried….how much length is needed to have natural waves and curls fall nicely…. Often it should be a bit longer I feel for weight and ‘hangability’ ….how to French braid….always gorgeous…I am into healthy shiny natural hair and in my heart know, the most beautiful hair is ALWAYS the one that is left alone…..the gorgeous young lady who has not started with the color, the heat, ….how many of us have destroyed our hair only to have to wait till it grows out….wishing for our natural locks…. 🙂❤⭐🙏🏼
I love this suggestion but I’m definitely not the channel for this. I literally never ever let my hair air dry. I look like a puff ball 😂
Thank you so much for your kind and honest reply. I enjoy your channel. 🙂❤🙏🏼⭐@@GlamGirlGabi
That was an excellent demo - much appreciated! 🎉😊
You're welcome Susan! I am so glad that it was helpful for you!
Great teacher. I love how thorough you are explaining.
The form showing us detailed how to do the styling is fantastic. Thanks
Please don't stop your KZhead videos for Instagram only. I, for one and sure I'm not alone, do not subscribe to Instagram so would really miss your tutorials for both make up and hair that you post here. Now I am going to try that wave technique to my bob! Thank you for what you do to help us all out.💜
This was really helpful, thanks for sharing and all the useful tips x
Loved it! Thank you for the step-by-step - that definitely clarified a few things for me for next time. 😘
Thank you SO MUCH for a longer, detailed video! I absolutely loved it and, like you said, I can follow along with you when I try this!
Thank you Gabi❤
Thanks for tips!!❤❤❤
This was great… just cut my hair shorter, and this was so helpful.❤
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful!
Suck at styling my hair! Thank you for this in depth video! ❤💚
You're welcome Krista! I hope that his tutorial helped you!
First time finding you Gabi - and your teaching style is fabulous! Can't wait to go try this!
Thank you Gabi …. You are a brilliant teacher for women, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤛🏻❤️🇬🇧xxx
The size comparism is extremly helpful! Thank you!
Great tips - thank you!
Love your how to wave your hair video❤
Love this format!!!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying this style! It’s actually much easier for me to create content this way and I plan on doing way more videos like this if it helps you guys!
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thanks Gabi for this detailed video. Will definitely use your tips ❤
I'm happy to hear that it was helpful Leanne!
Thank You.. Gabi.. This Video .. Was Very Helpful To Me.. You Are A Good Teacher !!! 🤗😊😁❤️
Hi Gabi. Thank you so much for the texture spray tips, very helpful!
You're welcome Susan! I am so happy to hear that it was helpful for you!
Love the detailed video! I need to see it in a way that it makes sense and isn’t rushed. 💕
I'm so glad that this was helpful for you. That was my exact intention when making this video. I wanted it to be HELPFUL and NOT rushed.
Thank you so much for this video Gabby! I just got my haircut to the short bob and I have wanted to re-create this look. SOOO helpful! And texture spray instead of hairspray-yes😊Thank you for taking the time to go all the way through because I struggle with this. ❤
Super helpful video thank you ❤
You are the best! All of your tutorials and videos are so easy to follow and informative!
Glad you think so! I really try to make it as informative and helpful as I can. It means so much to me that you enjoy it.
Can I just say that you are an amazing teacher!❤
Thank you! 😃 That means the absolute world to me. It really truly does.
This video helped me so much! I still need practice but could never really curl my hair before
This was the best wave tutorial I've seen, looks so good, gonna try it! Thnx😊
Yay! Thank you! I am so happy to hear that it was helpful for you! Did you enjoy the more relaxed pacing?
Before I cut 12” of my hair off into a bob it was very easy to wave. Of course when I tried the same technique on my short hair I thought it looked awful because those straighter ends that look great on longer hair were not so cute on my shorter hair. I’ve been struggling on how to style it so I just blow it out straight and it looks good enough. I can’t wait till it grows out to a shoulder length blunt bob so I can do more with it 😫☹️
I am watching your videos pretty consistently. You have such a helpful approach and kind demeanor. You are calming, encouraging, and pleasant. Great channel in a frantic world!
Thank you so much! What a sweet comment. I truly appreciate that. 💕
This was,perfect! I'm spatially challenged and needed a slow tutorial. 🎉Thank you Gabi.
You’re welcome!! I’m so happy that it was helpful for you!
Appreciate the tips! I just cut my hair into a Bob your length and am trying to get accustomed to it. Love the possibilities you present!
Stay tuned for even more. I am finishing a video showing a whole bunch of different styles for the Holiday season. You may really enjoy that one next.
Just found you have to look at your past videos. I have short hair, but want to let it grow out...love your style...
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the content. I put a lot of my heart into every single video that I make.
This is life changing. Thank you. I love the style also because I need to learn and watch and practice and watch again in my bathroom as you do it. Thank you again
You are so welcome! Put your laptop on your bathroom counter and do it with me! That is how I learned SO MANY things when I was a newer stylist. I would put my favourite creator on in my bathroom while I was getting ready and do it in real time with them. That is why I started this series of slower moving videos so that you guys could do that with me. :)
Thank you so much for sharing your technique, Gabi! I appreciate seeing the whole process too! I have a lot of hair, and I find I’m not patient when styling it, so it helps me to see how long the process actually takes. You are amazing! 😊
Thanks for commenting. It definitely requires a little patience but it's worth it. Just remember to take it section by section.
Thank you Gabi! You are such a sincere and benevolent person. 💖 Your tips are very useful! I've watched a bunch of your videos, I feel like you're actually my friend. ✨ I'm saving this video for the next curling session! 🤗
You are so welcome! That is such a sweet comment Jelena! We are totally virtual friends and I am so happy that the videos are helpful for you!
I love the slower platform of KZhead. Yes, I do watch your videos and curl along. So very helpful!! What curling wand do your recommend for fine hair?
Thanks for the deets! I don’t suck but I am impatient. But for special occasions, worth the time. I have wonky wavy hair naturally and fight the frizz. Blowing it straight is faster for me. But..One of my favorite stylists about 15years ago gave me her flat iron as she was ready to upgrade to a new one (I think I was one of her best tippers! 😊 actually we had a bond but then she moved far away 😢). But I still have it! She showed me techniques how to enhance my wave so it was and shiny back then. Love the modern ends with this updated look. I barely have any evidence of an occipital bone so a wave helps hide that Neanderthal look. My mom must have never turned me on my side as an infant. lol
Love this video! I just subscribed on ig. ❤🥰
This is how I wave my hair even if it is long - with twisting Thank you so much for this video, Gabi! It is so detailed and useful! 💜
You're so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Thank you 💕
You're welcome Linda. I hope that you found this video helpful!
Looks really cute! Can you do some hair tutorials for layered short hair?
Great tips, cant wait to try it out. Any tips for sweep bang about nose length? that always gets tricky. Thx!
Yes! Need this but I also have bangs so not sure if it would still look good on me.
Thank you so much for doing this video Gabi! My hair is similar to yours but maybe an inch or two longer. I have always struggled with making my hair look less curly and have more of that beachy wave. The way you explained it is perfect! 🙏
Twist and wrap! That is the KEY to making the hair wavy and not curly. It took me about 8 years worth of mistakes to finally figure it out.
Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad that you found this tutorial helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! You make this so easy to follow! My hair is slightly longer thank yours but I have bangs…any suggestions on how to style bangs to look like part of this style?
Loved this video very well explained. Is your hair all one length?
Thank you! I am glad that this was helpful. Yes, my hair is all one length except for the very front where I have some long curtain bangs.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Me encanto!
THANK YOU! LOL❤️
Wonderful tutorial! My Bob is about 1 1/2 inches shorter than yours. I would love to see a tutorial using the Dyson air wrap.
Love the video and your gorgeous blouse! Would love to know where you bought it! ❤
Hey! I got this blouse at Revolve in the summer! I wear it with a gold bikini top underneath because it's a little see through. It's one of my favourite blouses! I love it!
Hi Gabi - thank you for the tutorial, love it. Also, who makes your gorgeous top? Thanks 😊
I know you don’t use a curling iron for this wave but I can’t use a wand because of arthritis. Can you show how to do the S curl with an iron? I searched and didn’t find one. Thank you
Do you want a similar tutorial but done with a clamp curling iron? Or with a straightening iron?
Clamp curling iron thanks so much❣️
I’d like to see a straightening iron do waves. Thanks for your video!
I have been Loving your videos! May I ask you where did you get your shirt from?? Super elegant 😍💕
Thankyou, your videos are wonderful🥰 Can you please tell me the iron and curling wand brands xox
Great video, so helpful to achieve this style. Love it! I enjoy all of your videos. Do you have a recommendation for a less gritty spray but will still hold? Thank you 😊
Yes absolutely! Another great spray is Living Proof Texture Spray. It gives tons of volume and is much less gritty (more brushable)
Thank you so much for creating this video Gabi! Can you do a similar tutorial but done with a dyson airwrap?
Hey Summer! No you won't get anything similar with the Dyson airwrap. It will look more like a 90s blowout even if you use the small barrels. I can make a video about that if you want me to.
That would be helpful. I spent so much $$$ on my airwrap, I really would like to use it but don't really know how now that my hair is shorter.
Hi Gabi I love the way you do make up. Could you do me a favor and try the new Laura Geller baked pallet that’s out? That would be awesome.
Oh and I’m watching this again when I do my hair this evening for a Christmas event 😂❤
I'm posting a whole video about Christmas party hair ideas on Wednesday! I have so many cute ideas for you guys! I can't wait for you to see it.
My middle part runs down the back of my head looking like a bald spot even though it’s not. I’d love some techniques on how to fix this and how to style my hair to hide this.
Hey! Have you ever done any back combing? I need to make a video about back combing because it's a question that I get asked a lot as well.
Yes please I have that as well.
@@GlamGirlGabi it’s not my favorite thing to do. Every time I try and back comb my crown it comes out uneven, wonky, and dumb looking. No way do I want to look like Snookie or like I’m from the early 2000’s.
I’m gonna try this today cause it’s wash day 😊
YAY! Let me know how it goes!
Hi Gabi..great video..thanks so much for detailed instructions. I just watched another of your videos where you advise against bobs that are shorter in the front. Your hair looks shorter in the front in this video. Is this a "newer" look for bobs? Planning to get a bob soon. Thanks for any advice.
I cannot curl my bob at all and I've given up trying. My hair is very thick and I am blind in one eye and short sighted in the other so it's hard to see what I am doing. Nice to see yours looking so fabulous I will just remain here with my sad hair 😢
Cool going to try this as never got the hang on waving with a flat iron. Someone said the difference between hair spray and texture spray is that hair spray combs out and texture spray stays put in the hair and may need washing out, so pretty much similar to what you said I think.
Texture spray is amazing! I put it in after I’ve curled my hair but before I’ve combed. I just run my hands through as I’m spraying and my hair comes alive and is much fuller. AIIR has a texture spray that is great and lasts a long time. Hair spray is then like a finishing touch. As far as I’m concerned that is…not an expert. Can’t be without texture spray. Oh and I only use it after washing. I haven’t tried it on like second or third day hair 🤔
Yes I would agree with that regarding hair spray and texture spray. Texture spray is my absolute favourite product for short hair but it doesn't "sleep well". It just doesn't. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@GlamGirlGabi Yea for the reason texture spray stays put in the hair is it's strong point as well as weak I guess, depending on how far away wash day is as you said. Whatever hairspray I try for volume just doesn't stand up the whole day or even a few hours tbh, I don't bother with it anymore it's pants haha!
I’m sorry ladies. Just finished the whole video where you talk about texture spray. I didn’t know that. So that’s why my hair is lasting as good as it was 🙄
Love the necklace, where is that from?
Thank youuu Gabi for this tutorial cause I have a feeling that I can't curl bobs without burning my fingers 😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
Hey Nathan! Do you have any thermal gloves? Curling wands almost always come with thermal gloves. I can't use them because I like to feel the heat penetrating from the hair so I know how long I need to hold the heat on for, but A LOT of stylists do wear them!
@@GlamGirlGabi I definitely don't unfortunately 😞😞😞😞
I have a short bob with layers. Not sure how I can create waves with my style of hair it tends to have a mixture of frizz and loose curl when air dried. I’d love to know how to create smooth waves using a styling tool with layered hair. Or maybe I just need to learn how to use a hair product to hold the curls together? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you for your video today! 😊
This is just the look I've been trying to achieve with my straighteners.. I have a curling wand but its a tapered one would I be able to achieve the same results with it ?
What is the size of the barrel you used in this tutorial and the brand? Thank you!
How do you wave a head that has LOTS of hair. My hair is textured but I have a lot of hair. I find it hard to wave it. Plus it takes forever to style. But I still want to style it. It's shoulder length. Please help. Thnx for the great advice and tutorials. Your beautiful and a great teacher.
Instead of texture spray, would root booster work better? I don't have a curling wand, but I do have a curling iron. Would you use it like a wand or insert hair inside of iron? I can't seem to get my fine hair to curl. Even with a fresh perm. I tried a spiral perm. Nothing seems to work. I get very frustrated.
Nothing to do with the subject but I really like your necklace. Very pretty hairstyle
Thanks Audrey! I've had it forever. It's by Swarovski. I have a little collection of their jewelry.
Thank you very much😄@@GlamGirlGabi
Ik this is a beautiful hair technique video but can u tell me where u got ur blouse… I am in love w/it.
I got my blouse at Revolve but I can't find it anymore. It was on clearance in the summer months. I wish I had a link for you!
@@GlamGirlGabi Aww thx :) U’re right tho, it’s only in Xs til maybe January. I did see that it’s in other stores I’m not familiar with. I told myself not to spend money, saw ur top + forgot. I’ll just chill for a bit. Thx much tho 🤗
What brand of hair tools would you recommend for beginners?
What brand and barrel size wand are you using?
Can you recommend a wave wand, ive tried a few and disappointed 1 1/4 barrel. I couldnt make out the one you used
Where is your shirt from? I love it!
Hey! I got it at Revolve in the summer. I was just looking to see if I could find a link for you but I can't find it anymore. It was on clearance so it's probably gone. I love it too. It's one of my favourite blouses. I call it my "pirate shirt" LOL
Thank you Gabi! You are a great teacher 😊 love your "pirate" blouse ❤
@glamgirlgabi can you please share what wand you use?
you have thicker hair lol mine is poker straight but just watching this tells me it is quite a bit thicker and I do not have a curling iron just a flat iron . you can do something similar with a flat iron?
Hi Gabi: I am really afraid of burning myself with a curling iron. Could you please do a comparison (barrel vs clamp vs a curling “brush” that has plastic “spikes”? Thank you.
Yes I can do that for sure. Can you link what brush you're talking about?
Thank you so much! @@GlamGirlGabi
I linked 2 products but the links are gone. Conair calls them curling brushes. They look like a curling wand but have plastic spikes.@@GlamGirlGabi
My hair is so fine and thin, that sectioning it off is hard in a way, because there isn't much there. I end up getting frustrated 😫I don't have a lot of hair, so it jus never turns out and the curl never holds I swear. And my bangs are supposed to be the curtain bangs, but they do their own thing, and also, so damn fine and thin. I shall try this! And see how it turns out!
Will this work if you have a wand with clip?
Yup. Exact same technique.
Gabi I need help with the back. It’s so hard to do. Help!
Grit, to me, is like a sandy feel. Is this what you are referring to when using the word grit? All I see is more volume.
Yes it has a sandy feeling to it. It's definitely gritty. People either love texture spray or hate it. I really love it but it doesn't work well if you want to keep your hairstyle for several days.
Hi I know you get many questions but I recently chopped my hair to about your length maybe a bit longer but for some reason my hair never looks silky like yours. I do have thick course Irish girl hair.. But the fact that it always looks dry is awful. What am I doing wrong? I am a professional MUA and I get great hair products and recently started using the Caviar products for aging hair. I was hoping that would help... Anyway any advice is greatly appreciated.
I actually did a full video about my weekly hair care routine that you might find helpful. You can watch it here: kzhead.info/sun/ppeGh6mgq4ajZps/bejne.html
you are the best ty!@@GlamGirlGabi
How do you get fullness at roots instead of flatness?
That is achieved from the blowout in the wet stage. I made a whole video about that as well: kzhead.info/sun/mZmnk7iknnuXnX0/bejne.htmlsi=c9xzpATFInoyzXW7
My hair is so broken and dry. No shine! Do you have a Tip for me?
Hahaha I think all those comments were just me.
