The Rise of Crimp Curls

In the ever-changing world of hair trends, crimp curls have taken social media by storm, particularly on TikTok. This unique hairstyle combines the best of both worlds: the texture of crimps and the elegance of curls, creating a look that's not too intense yet perfectly put together. As someone always eager to test out the latest hair hacks and trends, I was naturally drawn to this viral sensation.

Getting the Look: A Step-by-Step Guide

Achieving the crimp curls look was surprisingly straightforward. The process began with gathering the necessary tools: a curling iron and a crimping tool specifically designed for mermaid waves. For this experiment, I opted for the T3 Single Pass 1.5" Ceramic Curling Iron and the Mane 1.2" Jumbo Hair Waver System, both known for their ability to deliver long-lasting styles with added shine. Before applying heat, I protected my hair with the Oribe Gold Lust Dry Heat Protection Spray, a favorite for its lightweight formula and delightful scent.

The styling process involved sectioning off my hair and alternating between the curling iron and the waver on one-inch sections, creating a harmonious blend of curls and crimps. Even with curtain bangs, I managed to integrate them into the style seamlessly, resulting in a cohesive and voluminous look.

The Verdict: A Trend Worth Embracing

The final outcome was nothing short of stunning: a balanced mix of crimped and curled hair that wasn't overly done. This style not only added volume to my fine hair but also held up impressively under the dry heat of Los Angeles. Since my initial trial, crimp curls have become my go-to hairstyle, consistently earning me compliments and inquiries on how to achieve the look.

For those struggling to achieve a more relaxed appearance with their waver tools, or anyone looking for a fresh and trendy hairstyle to spice up their routine, crimp curls are definitely worth a try. If you've been on the fence about embracing this TikTok-famous hair trend, consider this your sign to dive in and experiment with crimp curls yourself.
