We can’t tell you how to get those Victoria’s Secret models’ incredible genes, but we certainly can give you the scoop on how to get those signature VS rippled wave tresses in minutes with thanks to multi-award winning stylist and owner of Sydney’s RAW hair salon Anthony Nader.

Anthony has previously worked backstage at the VS show with Hair Director Orlando Pita so we feel pretty confident trusting he can bring us tress-success this upcoming festive season.

To get the Victorias Secret Hair look, simply follow the steps below. Then just add wings…
1. To get that added oomph to your lustre strands, squeeze a big dollop of medium hold foam into the roots and mid lengths, and rake through with a wide tooth comb
2. Pop your head over and blast hair until it is about 80% dry, directing the roots upwards to create that ‘airiness’ that we all love about those VS runway models
3. Take an equal section from ear to ear and clip the top half and start blowing out the underneath section with a medium to large bristle brush
4. Once complete, unclip the top section and place in your haphazard natural part and blow dry the top section the same way as underneath
5. Now the hidden trick here is to get that ‘realness’ of bumpy natural rippled texture is use two different size large barrel tongs and alternate them every second section so you get a natural-looking balance of uneven waves
6. Go through out picking up large chunky diagonal sections and wind the mid lengths only as well as some random ends. This will ensure the end result isn’t too formal and bridal-looking
7. Wind your sections away from your face as then the hair shape will sit better and not have tumbling waves hiding your face.
8. Now you’re done tilt your head backwards and shake out the wave so you end up with a beautiful, ‘undone’ kind of texture. Remember, this hair style isn’t supposed to look ‘done’ so go more free here!
9. For added volume if desired, spray in a little coloured dry shampoo in on the root area and give roots a massage and you’ll notice volume you thought you could never achieve…

ANTHONY’S HIDDEN TRICK – If your locks are on the finer side, get yourself a few clip in hair pieces of your egesting colour and backcomb the root area then attach them in. It’s so easy to do and you can easy keep them in your hand bag as well for emergencies.
