Create the Best Beachy Waves

• Posted by Taylor Stevens Salon & Spa •

Nothing says sexy summer goddess like a head full of beachy waves. There's no need for curling irons or to spend hours in front of the mirror perfecting this look either. Here's are two different methods to create the best beachy waves at home.

Method 1:

Start the night before with a shower, using Aveda's Be CurlyTM shampoo and conditioner. After you get out of the shower, squirt a small amount of Aveda's Be CurlyTM Style-PrepTM into hands and emulsify, before working into damp locks. Comb through with to evenly distribute the product, and then divide hair into four sections, twisting hair into four buns or braiding. Experiment with the size, location and number of the buns or braids to see what works best for you. Smaller sections will create tighter waves, while thicker sections will produce bigger waves.
When you wake in the morning, make sure your buns or braids are completely dry before you undo them. If they seem a little damp, give them a quick one two with the blow dryer first. Then, undo your buns or braids and gently rake fingers through hair, loosening up the waves. Add even more definition to your waves and lock in style by lightly spritzing your locks with Aveda's Be CurlyTM Curl Enhancing Hair Spray.

Method 2:

You can still get beautiful beachy waves, even if you're running short on time and you just hopped out of the shower. Simply emulsify Aveda's Be CurlyTM Curl Enhancer in your hands, before working through locks and combing through to distribute evenly. Next, twist 2-10 sections of hair. Similar to the first method, experiment with the size and location of each twisted section to see what works best for you. Allow locks to air-dry or if you prefer, give it a blast from the blow dryer, using a diffuser to pump up the volume and texture. Set the style with Aveda's Be CurlyTM Curl Enhancing Hair Spray.
With these two methods, there's no reason you shouldn't feel like a summer goddess this season. Share these techniques with your girlfriends and you can all look fabulous!
