How To: Tousled, Beach Hair



This is a simple and care-free hair style, that still leaves you looking super fab and super sexy.
Perfect if you have a limited time to get glamorous in the morning, or before a special night out. 

Note- This style will be harder to achieve if your hair is all one length and you have no layers in it. Having all that bulk at the end of your hair weighs it down and will just pull out the style naturally. 


Step 1. 
Start with towel dried hair. NOT soaking wet hair. The best is to leave your hair up in the towel while you get dressed, do your makeup or have breakfast in the morning.

Step 2.
Apply a quarter size amount of a styling cream (Bumble and Bumble Crème, L’oreal Pearl Whip Pearl Whip, OR KMS Silk Sheen Silk Sheen Crème are great options) scrunching the product in, mid shaft to ends. Work in small sections to get the most even coverage. You can twist some sections for more texture. Adding a light spray of sea salt spray (Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, OR KMS Sea Salt Spray Sea Salt Spray are great products)  all over will help to also add more texture in the hair for that true beachy look.

Step 3. 
For added volume, use your blow dryer and lightly dry your hair, while scrunching your ends. Flip your head and dry your hair for added volume at your root.

Step 4. 
To finish, use an anti frizz hair spray to hold your style for the day.



Your products are very important in achieving this look. Salon quality PROFESSIONAL products will truly help you achieve the perfect beach look.

I always say, you can buy cheap hair products from the drugstore, and yes it might do the trick for a little while, but the professional quality products will really deliver. And you will have more staying power! Its like your car. You can drive a Honda. Great car, it will get you from point A to B no problem. But wouldn't you rather drive an Audi or BMW with all the bells and whistles? 

Think about it with your hair and makeup products. Do you want a Honda on your head or a BMW? ;)

You can sleep with this look, and the following day touch up your waves with a curl stick for a more defined look!



(Another easy way to achieve this look: Shower before before bed, very loosely braid towel dried hair, apply some of the styling cream in your hair to keep your hair from frizzing over night. When you take the braids out in the morning, lightly spray some sea salt spray into your hair just a light mist and scrunch your ends)
