Whatever you have going on this fall, here's a lazy-but-cute hair idea for ya. Perfect for a little apple picking day or a night on the town with the ladies.

Get the Look:

Wrap sections of hair around a 1.5" or 2" curling iron. Some pieces will bend outward and inward a little wonkily - which is great because it gives this style a quirky home-done look.

The trick to keeping these waves looking sexy but laid-back is to start curling the hair around eyebrow-level, or about 1/3 of the way down the hair, leaving your roots smooth. This gives a kind of slept-on effect and prevents you from going too poufy or fake-wavy. Try not to use the clamp on the curling iron. Just grab sections and wrap them around the iron and hold the hair there for a few seconds, being extra careful not to burn your fingertips.
