Just Beachy

Add straight-from-the-sea texture to your hair with Blow Beach Blow Texturizing Mist ($20.00). This lightweight mist is pumped up with natural marine extracts to mimic the look of hair after a swim in the ocean. Just spray on to damp hair before styling and shape with fingers for sexy beach-worthy hair that isn’t sticky or waxy! Also, the convenient 5 ounce bottle fits easily into your bag for styling and touch ups on the go!

Shield Your Hair From Sun

Protect your hair while you’re enjoying the summer sun with Phyto Plage Protective Sun Veil ($20.00). This product provides a UV filter to prevent damage due to sun, salt and chlorine. The main ingredient is photo protective sunflower extract, which protects the hair fiber. White lotus extract maintains the hair’s moisture level and sweet illipe butter makes hair more supple.

Spray on wet or dry hair before leaving the house, and anytime during sun exposure. Reapply after swimming for best results.

Making Waves

Creating sexy, defined waves that look natural can be challenging. Here’s a simple way you can make waves this summer, at the beach or at the office:

• Wash your hair as you normally would and condition.
• Squeeze out excess water from your hair and gently towel-dry. Use a wide tooth comb to detangle.
• Apply a salt-infused styling product such as Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray ($23.99) for hold and natural texture. Comb through hair to evenly distribute.
• Braid hair in sections. Keep in mind that larger braids will give you looser waves. Have fun experimenting with this part until you find the size and number of braids that gives you the look you want!

• Let hair dry naturally, or blow dry. It’s important to make sure hair is completely dry before you remove the braids. Otherwise, your waves will not have fully taken shape and will fall flat.
• When hair is completely dry, take out the braids. Shape your now wavy hair with your fingers, and style as desired. You may wish to apply hair spray for added hold, especially if your hair is very fine.

Congratulations! You’ve just created post-swim waves…without going near the ocean!
