April's Tip of the Month

How to Give Your Hair Sexy "Beachy" Waves!

How to get sexy wavy hair like the stars! This look isn't about to go out of style anytime soon! Wavy hair is HOT, HOT, HOT! We want to share some tips with you on how to get the look!


Directions:
1. Turn upside down and spray freshly washed roots with volumizing or texturizing spray. Ones to try: Aveda Volumizing Tonic or Pureology ROOT Lift.  Massage it in. The rubbing motion creates body and texture.

2. If hair is naturally coarse or curly, work a straightening balm through hair. Try: Aveda Smooth Infusion

3. Brush hair to work the product evenly through hair. Blowdry hair straight, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow cold air at the roots to add volume. Cold air locks in a style.

4. Separate hair into three sections, securing with ponytail holder. It's easier this way to curl your way through each section.

5. To curl hair, use a wide-barrel curling iron. Starting with one section, take a 1-inch portion of hair, spritz it with styling spray or hairspray. Wrap hair around the barrel of the curling iron. (Wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. You don't want to "clip" hair into the barrel. Wrapping allows you to curl all the way to the root). When you're curling, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid a crimp mark. Release the curl after 5-10 seconds (hold longer for a tighter curl) you should have a corkscrew curl.

6. Roll curl and bobby pin it close to the scalp.

7. Alternate the direction of the curl as you work you way through each section. Alternating directions makes the curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose.

8. Once pinned curls have cooled, release them.

9. Remove nozzle from dryer and gently loosen waves with cool air. You can also separate curls with you fingers, just make sure not to brush them out.

10. To add shine, spritz or finger comb a hair serum onto waves. Try: Aveda Smoothing Fluid

Follow these simple steps, and show off your beachy waves!
