Beachy, Wavy Hairstyle

Writing by Raechele on Sunday, 29 of June , 2008 at 6:58 am

Hey everyone! I finally got my technical difficulties sorted out so I’m ready to start my video tutorials again! Okay, I promised I would do a beachy, wavy kind of hairstyle. It’s really simple and perfect for people who don’t have a lot of time on their hands.

Beach Wave Look

Step One

Start off with wet hair. You want damp hair, but you don’t want it to dry up before you’re done styling. Take any mousse of your choice and start scrunching. I preferably use volumizing mousse because when it dries, I get more volume in my hair. You want about two egg-sized amounts of mousse in either side of your hair. You’re going to have four egg-sized amounts of mousse all over your hair. If you have longer hair then you may want to use more. You’ll need a lot more than you think.

Step Two

Now, the second step all depends on what look you’re trying to achieve. In my video, I had done the step so that I can get the natural looking waves. There’s also a look that you can do to make your waves wet.

• The Dry Look
  The dry look takes a lot less time to do. Once you’ve put all the mousse you need in your hair all you need to do is spray some hairspray. The key is to only spray as much as you need to hold your hair in place. If you don’t exactly know how much you need then I recommend using any flexible hold hairspray such as Garnier Fructis Flexible Hold Hairspray. Flexible gives you the hold that you need and the movement you desire. The best part is, you can spray as much as you want because it doesn’t dry looking wet. They’ll look more natural.

• The Wet Look
  The wet look takes a little more time to do. Once you’ve put all the mousse you need in your hair you’ll need to use a stronger hairspray than flexible hold spray. The key is that you’ll need to spray a lot of hairspray while your hair is still completely damp. It’s the same technique as the dry look, you’ll just be using more hairspray. Yes, your hair will be crunchy. This is the only downfall I see about this hairstyle. If you don’t know what hairspray works then I recommend trying either Garnier Fructis Frim Hold Hairspray or AquaNet. I’ve used both and they work great.

• Ideas For Bangs
  So yellowstars862 from YouTube asked me about ideas for bangs, which I hadn’t mentioned in my video.
  1. You can straighten your bangs, add a little mousse and the same amount of hairspray you applied to your style.
  2. You can pin them back however you want.
  3. You can do what I did in my video and just brush them back so that they did their own thing.
     My bangs are naturally side-swept.

So I hoped this helped. If you have any questions, comments, tips, advice, anything, then feel free to comment or email me at raechelecee@gmail.com.
