Beautiful Beach Waves

Summer is on it's way and there's nothing more gorgeous or in style than beach waves!
Marni and myself have been trying out all sorts of different hair stylers to see what's the best for you girlies to use.

Babyliss curling wand- This styler comes out on top creating stunning effortless curls/waves.
This amazing styler is 32-19mm and retails on Amazon for £19.99. Take a look at it on the Babyliss website http://www.babyliss.co.uk/stylers_2285u.html It has up to 25 heat settings ideal for total control and comes with a special protective heat matt to put it on.
Totally easy for ANYONE to use! Simply wrap the hair round the wand, wait about 30 seconds and release, leaving you with beautiful curls. This is perfect for the girls that haven't quite mastered the GHD curls!

Before you start make sure your hair is freshly washed and dry. DO NOT straighten your hair, this will make it really hard for your hair to curl. If you have frizzy hair or a natural wave you don't need to smooth it out as this will add texture. However, if you have very curly hair smooth it over with a round HT brush and a Parlux hair dryer for best results.
As Marni has natural ringlets this is exactly what I did to her hair before we got going.

Once your hair is ready, section as if you are going to straighten. Then depending on how bouncy you want your hair, take a section and wrap around the wand for 30 seconds then release.
Remember ladies the smaller the sections the more curley your hair will be! Here's what it should look like...

Keep going until you've finished all of the back section. You can hairspray each section as you go this will help to keep the curl in for longer.
When you get to the sides it's a really good tip to curl the hair away from you not inwards.
This makes the hair look more fuller and you can achieve Kim Kardashian waves in no time!

Once you've curled it all don't be scared give it a good shake, this will break the curls up and stop it from looking like that 'freshly tonged look!' Leaving you with natural beachy curls/waves!

Spray with hairspray and you should have a very quick gorgeous wavy style.
This is what it should look like at the end....

If you would like bigger bouncier waves/curls Babyliss also do a wave wand which is bigger in diameter which gives a bigger very natural wave.
It works the same as the curling wand you just wrap the hair around it! Go check it out... http://www.babyliss.co.uk/stylers_2286u.html

                                                      Hope this has been helpful girls!

                                                                    Love always,
