2 Techniques to Create the Long and Wavy Hair Style ...

Before bedtime, mist just-washed, damp hair with a leave-in conditioner and a volume-boosting aerosol spray (an aerosol spray will dry soft, and won't leave hair hard and crunchy). Then twirl one-inch sections of hair into spiral braids and let them dry overnight.

I personally love this technique for two reasons: it does not damage your hair and it's extremely easy. All you need is 2 minutes of your time (if even that) before you go to bed. The only thing to remember is that the more braids you have, the smaller will be the wave, so, 1 or 2 would be perfect for that natural fashionable runway look.

Short on time? Here's how Fashion Week tress masters create the look in a crunch: Wrap one-inch sections of hair around a medium flatiron, alternating the direction each spiral. “You're just kind of haphazardly wrapping pieces and dropping them,” says Harry Josh, a hairstylist and spokesperson for John Frieda. “When you shake them out you'll get a really nice, loose, ropy wave and it'll hold all day.”

This technique gives you more control over your waves and you can easily create a very fine do within 10 minutes, but please don't forget to use anti-heat products to protect your healthy shiny traces.

No matter what they say, anything hair tools with heat are bad for your hair. And the more you use them, the more weakened it becomes. It's just the matter of time when the damage becomes obvious.
