Today we’re letting you in on how to wake up with perfect hair, why? Well, who doesn’t want to wake up with perfect hair?! Obv there will be a little ruffling and touching up here and there, but generally you’ll be pretty much ready to go hair-wise when you wake up. Now, let's get started…. :)
So... what’s the secret we hear you ask? The main secret that you need to know is that it’s simply all in the preparation. But, first of all you need to decide what kind of hairstyle that you want to wake up with. Do you want to wake up with undone, mermaid waves? Even more undone Kate Moss inspired bed head tresses? or a second day blow dry? Whatever you choose, we’re going to show you the easiest way to achieve each hairstyle. You’re welcome :)...
To achieve undone, kink-like mermaid waves the secret is making sure that your hair is completely dry before you begin any styling. Once your hair is dry, simply braid your hair into a 3 strand braid before you jump into bed, sleep and give yourself 10 minutes to finish off the look in the morning. Then, in the morning gently undo the braid and separate the waves. You can use a texturising balm to help separate the hair and create a crimped, wave after waves effect. If there are any flat and/or limp areas don’t panic - these can be quickly fixed with a curling tong. To complete the look, add a lift to your roots with the help of some dry shampoo and there you have it. Undone, mermaid-like waves in a matter of minutes. See, we told you this would be easy.
Now if you cannot get enough of the Kate Moss at the weekend, just rolled out of bed kinda hair then this hairstyle is for you. All you need to do is blast your freshly washed hair until it is ninety per cent dry, then go to bed and don’t worry about laying still all night. Your hair is allowed to move freely so rolling over will help the undone, effortless waves spring into action. This kind of hairstyle can get pretty wild depending on your hair texture, we find that this hairstyle works best on naturally straight and or thin/fine hair. Finish off your bed head hairstyle with a texturising salt spray (our fave is A Beautiful Life Pre Game Texturising Spray, FYI) and ruffle up your hair using your fingers. Ta-daaah you’ve got the ultimate effortlessly chic hairstyle without having to preen it for hours. Need we say more!?
Let’s face it, it’s no secret that we all love that just stepped out of the salon blow-dry look with mounds of volume at the root, bouncy tresses with a healthy shine. But, the second day blow dry hairstyle is just as good as the first day when done right. If you don’t have time to go to the salon for a blow dry then simply add some heated rollers into your locks at home. Leave to set and apply lots of hairspray to help the waves stay in place. You’ll go to bed looking a little Dolly Parton-esque but don’t worry, your hair will have dropped and softened by the time you wake up. This semi-polished done, but not done hairstyle is super hard to achieve when styling from scratch so this method suits us just fine. We’re all for easy hairstyles, especially in the morning - right!?
What is your 'go to' method to help you wake up with perfect hair? : )
