Lazy woman and gorgeous hair

Fake hot-roller waves in 25 minutesYou’ll save: About 35 minutes (a blowout and full head of curlers can take a good hour).Meticulously curling every last strand isn’t the only way to transform flat hair into lush waves. “Forget the hair underneath—just pay attention to the parts that show,” says backstage pro Kevin Ryan. Blow-dry while combing hair with your fingers, pull bottom layers into a ponytail to get them out of the way and blow out just the top and front sections with a round brush. While hair is still warm, wrap two-inch chunks of hair around large Velcro rollers—five should do it (remember, you only care about the top). Mist with hairspray (try Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Firm Finishing Spray, $15, paulmitchell.com for salons). Hang for 10 minutes—do your makeup!—and remove rollers. Voilá: voluptuous waves. Watch out, Gisele!
