Create Wavy Hair

Beachy waves can be achieved easily at home.

Sexy, bohemian wavy hairstyles are seen in countless magazines and on celebrities such as Giselle Bundchen and Kate Hudson. Wavy hair is perfect for women looking for a versatile style that can be worn during the day or at night. Obtaining beautiful wavy hair that will make you look like you've been at the beach all day can be achieved through several different simple methods, and the right products.

Instructions

Scrunching

1. Shampoo and condition the hair as usual. Choose shampoo and conditioner that is right for your hair type. Dry hair will benefit from a deep conditioner, which will also help keep your waves from looking frizzy. Remember that clarifying shampoos strip the hair of oils which can also cause hair to be dry and frizzy.

2. Towel dry the hair until you can no longer squeeze water from it. Apply a small amount of the texturizing cream or spray to damp hair and tousle strands with your fingers for even application. Some products designed to bring out the hair's natural texture or add texture to fine hair contain sea salt which will help give you that beach-hair look.

3. Grab a section of the hair in one hand and push it toward your scalp while blowing the hair with the dryer and diffuser attachment. Dry that section for 10 to 15 seconds before releasing that section and grabbing a different section. Repeat this process over the entire head until the hair is dry. Style as desired.

Curling Iron

4. Spray a heat protective spray to hair that is completely dry. Heat styling appliances such as curling irons can damage the hair so it is important to protect strands and keep hair looking healthy.

5. Wrap a 1-inch section of hair near the front of the head around the outside of the curling iron's barrel. The tip of the iron should be pointing downwards. Hold for at least five seconds. Release this section but do not brush it out because the hair needs time to cool down before styling.

6. Repeat Step 2 with the rest of the hair. Alternate sections between curling them toward the face and away from the face. Having sections curled in different directions will mimic natural waves more effectively.

7. Run your fingers through the curls after all the hair has had time to cool and set to break up the waves. Spray with a flexible hold hairspray to finish the look.
