About this look

Sparkle waves are soft waves with temporary glitter spray or small rhinestone clips throughout — the styling adds literal sparkle to a regular wave styling, suiting Christmas, New Year's Eve, and other glittery festive occasions. The look reads young, playful, and occasion-specific.

It flatters oval, heart, and oblong faces — the soft wave shape frames these shapes. Wavy hair holds the wave set longest; straight hair takes the set with curling iron; curly hair adapts. Hair needs to be at least past the shoulder.

Medium styling maintenance — set soft waves with a curling iron or wand (20 minutes), spray glitter spray throughout or pin small rhinestone clips. The glitter is the focal element; the wave is the canvas. The styling went viral on TikTok in 2022-2024 for New Year's Eve and holiday party hair. Soft waves with temporary glitter spray or small rhinestone clips throughout.
