I love the way my hair looks after a day at the beach, all tousled and wavy and gorgeous, but I don’t like the way it feels. To get tousled beach babe hair without stepping foot in the surf, follow these easy steps to surfer chic.
1. Work a curl enhancing product like PPS Beach Styler through dry hair to ensure that your style will hold.
2. Part your hair down the centre, and braid into two plaits (one on either side of your head) and secure with a small hair tie.
3. Twist one braid away from your face and twist a straightening iron on to the hair in the same direction your braid is twisted. Repeat this all the way down the braid, but make sure you don’t do this over the hair tie or you will get a weird crease at the bottom of your hair. Do this on both braids, and then repeat.
4. Once your hair has cooled, remove the hair ties and finger comb the braid out. You should now have gorgeous tousled hair! You can either leave it down or style it up.
