Toni&Guy hairstylist Rachel Bartlett created relaxed waves for Viva's shoot in London. Here's how to get the look.

1. Apply Toni&Guy Prep Volume Plumping Mousse on to dry hair from the roots to the ends.

2. Blow dry and create a deep side-part.

3. Separate the hair into seven big sections using clips.

4. Using a big curling tong, wrap each section of hair from the inside on the top half and the outside on the bottom half, creating a soft natural wave.

5. Use a clip to hold each curl in place while the hair cools.

6. Repeat this process around the whole head.

7. After the hair has cooled, release the clips and use a brush to soften the curls.

8. Apply a texturisng product, such as Toni&Guy Casual Rough Texturiser, to the root area to create volume.

9. Spray curls with hairspray to provide hold.
