Summer is here! And, what look is hotter than bouncy beach waves? Without having to hit the sand or spending a full day by the ocean, you can still get those perfectly tousled waves. Here’s how:
What You’ll Need:
- Volumising or texturising spray
- Hair dryer
- Hair clips or elastic bands
- Heat protection spray
- 1-inch barrel curling iron
- Light hold hairspray
How To Get The Look:
- Wash and towel-dry your hair.
- Apply a volumising or texturising spray directly to your freshly washed roots. Massage it into your hair in a rubbing motion to create body and texture.
- Blow-dry your hair, starting at the roots to add volume. Another way to add volume is to flip your head over and then give it a blow dry. For extra volume and to lock in the style, blow cold air at the roots.
- Make sure your hair is completely dry before you move onto the next step.
- Separate your hair into four sections, securing each section with a hair clip or an elastic band.
- Before curling any given section, apply a heat protection spray to your hair to keep it from burning.
- Let the curling begin! Take your 1-inch barrel curling iron and place it about 5cm away from your roots, wrapping medium sections of your hair around the barrel. Release the curl after about 10-15 seconds. Hold it longer if you want a tighter curl.
- To give your curls a more natural look, alternate the direction of the curl as your work your way through each section. For the same effect, you can also make some curls tighter than others.
- Continue the above step to all sections until all of your hair has been curled.
- Set the style with a light hold hairspray, scrunching your hair with your fingers as you go along. Be careful not to overdo the hairspray as this can make your hair feel crunchy.
