When it comes to hair, it's all about messy beachy waves this time of year. This is one of my all time favorite hairstyles and one that I tend to rock even in the depths of winter. After watching a video by MakeupbyTiffanyD on YouTube (click here to watch), I was inspired to try out a new (to me) technique.
Products, Tools, and Technique
While this can easily be achieved with a wand, I used my 1" Conair curling iron (mine is super old but still works great). I always use some type of dry shampoo and/or texturizing spray on my roots and through the lengths of my hair to prep it and give it some grit. Garnier's Texture Tease is a great (and cheap!) option. I did my curls the way I normally do (starting near the roots and leaving about an inch out at the ends). Instead of curling every piece away from my face as I normally would, I curled the front pieces away but then alternated every other piece (one going away from my face, then one towards my face, etc). I loved the result--this really did help to achieve more of a wave than a curl. I also thought it added more volume and dimension and gave more of that messy, disheveled look I was after. After letting my hair cool for a few minutes, I ran my fingers through the waves and pulled them apart/fluffed/tousled them. I added a bit more texturizing spray for even more of an un-done look, then I finished off with some Flexible Control Hairspray by Garnier.
If you're looking for a way to get beachy waves, I'd recommend watching Tiffany's video and trying this technique. You can always try it and do little things and tweak it to make it your style.
Thanks for reading!
