Beach Waves

Kate Hudson ~ one of my Favorites!

The beach wave curl.... it looks so easy and effortless, like you  are just out of the water and looking fab. We wish that was the case. Instead, we look like a frizzy mess, nothing like a Victoria Secret models hair! Obviously, when out for a photo shoot those models are in the chair for an hour getting their hair done just to look like they were just out for a day at the beach and the saltwater created their wavy hair.

 You too can achieve that look... with a little time and energy and the right products. You can sport your beach waves for a beach night out with your husband or friends.

Shampoo and condition the hair as usual.

Apply a leave in conditioner, such as Aussie "catch the wave"

Spray in a little sea salt spray. My favorite is Redken Sea Spray

Dry the hair and use a wave curling iron

Spray in a little more sea salt spray, and hairspray if desired.

OR... The Braid Technique

Shampoo your hair with a curl shampoo and condition as well
Towel dry your hair.
Part your hair in the middle and french braid both sides
Sleep in the braids and allow to dry overnight
In the morning, apply some sea salt spray and a pomade to separate the waves and give definition and shine.
Use hairspray if desired.
