these waves are called beach waves... here is a few ideas and websites to create them...





Idea 1)





For a fast, quick-drying version of beachy waves, towel-dry hair and comb out hair. Spray mousse in your palm (baseball-size if you have long hair, golf ball-size if it's shoulder-length or shorter). Tilt your head to the size and scrunch mousse from the ends on up on one side, then repeat on the other side. Let hair air-dry, scrunching every so often as it dries. DON'T brush hair out.





Turn upside down and spray freshly washed roots with volumizing or texturizing spray. Massage it in I like Bumble and Bumble or you can try Aveda volumizing tonic .


If hair is naturally coarse or curly, work a straightening balm through hair. Here's a great list of balms.


Brush hair (this works the product evenly through hair). Blowdry hair straight, starting at the roots to get extra volume. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow cold air at the roots to add volume (cold air locks in a style).


Separate hair into three sections, securing with a ponytail holder. (It's easier this way to curl your way through each section).


To curl hair, use a wide-barrel curling iron. Starting with one section, take a 1-inch portion of hair, spritz it with styling spray (again, I love Bumble and Bumble Styling Spray) or hairspray. Wrap hair around the barrel of the curling iron. (Wrapping hair is different from the traditional curling method. You don't want to 'clip' hair into the barrel. Wrapping allows you to curl all the way to the root). When you're curling, make sure to leave ends loose to avoid a crimp mark.





Release the curl after about 5-10 seconds (hold longer if you want a tighter curl). You should have a corkscrew curl.


Roll curl and bobby pin it close to the scalp. (I'm lazy, so I skip this step to save time).


Alternate the direction of the curl as you work your way through each section. (It's all in the direction you wind hair around the barrel of the curling iron. Start by placing hair on top of the barrel and wrapping around, then switch by putting the barrel on top of the hair before winding it around). Alternating directions makes curls look more natural. Some curls can remain tight, some loose.


Once pinned curls have cooled, release them.


Remove nozzle from dryer and gently loosen waves with cool air. You can also separate curls with your fingers, just make sure not to brush them out.


To add shine, spritz a hair serum . You can forego hair serum and spritz with saltwater spray. I like John Frieda Beach Blonde Ocean Waves Sea spray.


Set with hairspray. Just don't overdo it, you don't want new waves to feel ';crunchy.';





Idea 2) Start with clean hair. This way you don't have to worry about product build up interferring with your curls. Shampoo your hair as normal. Deep condition for 20 minutes with a plastic cap. This way your hair will hold moisture longer and shine.





Step 2Once hair is dry, moisturize your hair in sections. Use a light water-based moisturizer (not oily), or a light cream conditioner. Be sure to completely moisturize from root to tip without super saturating. Lightly apply a natural oil, coconut, olive or grapeseed will do just fine.





Step 3Comb and detangle hair with wide tooth or small tooth comb as appropriate. Separate hair into two sections by parting from ear to ear.





Step 4Apply a setting lotion very lightly to each section of hair. Brush each section into an individual pony. Now take the loose pony and wrap it around the scrunchy and tuck the ends in with a hair pin. ( Wrap hair like you would a chignon)





Step 5Finish with a light spray of oil sheen. Tie hair with satin scarf and wear overnight. The next morning, undo both ponys and finger comb into a style of your choice. Use more oil sheen if you desire more shine.





Idea 3)





1Start with clean dry hair. You can either use the hair that you woke up with--which works better if your hair is naturally straight--or, if you have curly or wavy hair, you will want to wash it and then either let it dry naturally or blow dry it. Always apply heat protecting spray when you are going to use thermal styling tools.





Step 2Tease your hair at the root for more volume at the top. Hold sections up, spray at the root with hairspray and brush downward in quick strokes. This step is optional if you don't like to tease your hair or feel you already have enough volume.





Step 3Take 1-inch sections at a time. Clamp a narrow flat iron starting at the top of each section and turn it 180 degrees so it creates a curve. Only hold it for a few seconds and let go--don't tug or pull it down. Do this down each section to create as many waves as you want.





Step 4Spray a little hairspray when you are done to help hold the waves in place and to give them a slightly scrunchy feel.
