1. BEACH TO BAR

There’s only one trick to beautiful, straight-from-the-ocean hair and that is to protect the hair, like you would your skin. Simply, prep the hair with a product that provides a UV filter, prior to sun exposure. The other benefit to this is that the product will stay in your hair well after you have been at the beach, helping condition the hair throughout the day.

2. POLISHED BEACH WAVES

Step 1 – Start by washing with a texturising shampoo & conditioner.

Step 2 – Blow dry hair using a small amount of seasalt spray.

Step 3 – Using large tongs, wrap hair horizontally, stopping 2-3 cm from the ends. Stylist’s tip: Don’t tong the ends! Leave the ends straight or untouched for perfectly undone beach waves.

Step 4 – Use your fingers to brush through to create texture.

4. THE SLICK

Step 1 –  Blow dry hair, using straight & shine spray, brushing hair back repeatedly, so it lays flat onto the scalp, ensuring you have a sleek surface.
