From LA to Austin- The Beach Wave Look

CLICK HERE to go directly to the blog.

One of the hottest trends in Hollywood is the Beach Wave Hair. I’m not talking the “curl look”, but how Vanessa Hudgens, Carmen Electra, Kate Hudson and Blake Lively wear their hair. I’m often asked “How do I get that Beach Wave Look”? Here is the step by step explanation on how to achieve it.

Tools you’ll need: 10-20 cloth covered rubber bands, flat iron or curling iron, comb, and thermal protector and flexible hold hair spray.

Length of hair: Shoulder length or longer.

Step 1: Start with your hair dry and clean. Spray thermal protector and comb through. Braid hair into sections. Larger braids mean bigger waves and smaller braids mean tighter waves. Braid the entire head and secure the ends with rubber bands.

Step 2: Once the hair is braided, run the flat iron from the top of the braid to the bottom or you can curl the braids if you don’t want to have straight ends. For more hold, lightly mist braids with flexible hold hairspray. Flat iron or curl each and every braid. Let the braids cool for 5 minutes to allow the braids to set.

Step 3: Once the braids are cooled down, spray the braids with hairspray once more and remove the rubber bands. Undo each braid then comb through hair using your fingers to soften the waves. Then mist with hairspray to set the style and you are ready for a night on the town! For added drama try a cool head band or a chic clip.
