Enter my foray into video content! I’ve attempted this before, but after meeting up with friend and Beauty Content Director Austen Tosone, I quickly became obsessed with Jumprope. It’s honestly the funnest way to make video tutorials, so get ready to see more soon!
I get a lot of questions about how I do my hair. Short hair can be challenging just because the length can minimize your style options or preclude you to the “get up and go” easiness of wearing it. I personally love wearing loose waves, and it’s easy to achieve!

How to My Everyday Loose Curls (Bob Haircut) by mintandthrift on Jumprope.
First things first…
I’m a firm believer in using the right tools to achieve the right look, and with my hair it’s definitely the best of the best. Invest in a salon quality blow dryer, and you’ll never have to pay for another blow out! Growing up, I learned how to do the Dominican blow out at home and now prefer to do my own hair. Even my hair dresser is surprised! I recommend the Parlux 3200 Compact dryer – it’s less than $150 and I can blow dry my hair in 20 minutes flat.
I love my T3 Micro curling wand – I’ve had the Whirl Trio for about 2 years now and it’s the best for perfect, long lasting curls. I often can wear my curls for two days! For this look, I’m using the Singlepass Curl 1″ iron.
Prep
You want to prep your hair with the right products. I got the opportunity to try R+Co’s CENTERPIECE All-in-One Elixir Spray. It’s a floral scented spray that’s used before hair styling to reduce frizz and fortify hair. Spray all over, comb it through, and then blow dry! I really liked the results – my hair was so smooth and silky.
Final Touch
After blow drying and curling your hair (check out the video for my sped-up routine!) finish up with R+Co Outer Space Flexible Hairspray. Again, this has such a pleasing scent – a typical from R+Co products – and really gives that super light hold that allows hair to bounce while still retaining shape. After spray sections of my hair, I like to run my fingers through to distribute the product further and loosen it up a bit more.
