This look is so gorgeous. The dark eye liner is a great addition to imperfect waves. For the look with big waves, start by blowing out clean hair to get a smooth even texture. Next use a large barrel curling iron to wrap large sections of hair, one away from your face, one towards your face, leaving half an inch of your ends straight. Use hair extensions for more volume.
