We’re major fans of effortless, lived in waves here at M + B HQ. You know the one we mean, that effortless, not tried too hard my hair just magically ended up like this hairstyle? But, do you know that there is a trick that you might be missing when trying to get the most perfect lived in waves? Read on to find out what we’re talking about, girls...
Firstly, you’re going to need two styling tools for this hairstyle. That’s right - two! Some hair straighteners and a conical wand or curling tong are both needed for this look as we don’t want the hair to look uniformed and in sync. So, to achieve effortless undone, lived in waves it’s simple… Curl a section of hair with your flat iron, then curl the next section with your curling wand or curling tong. Alternating between the two styling tools will leave you with the effortless lived in waves of your dreams. Genius and so, so simple, right?! Oh wait, one more thing... Never ever curl the ends of your tresses when going for lived in, effortless waves - keep them straight for a chic finish.
Once you have styled your hair, leave to cool before touching it. Leaving your hair to cool gives the waves time to set, brushing out your just done waves when your hair is still hot will take your hair back to the way it looked before, which is definitely not ideal. So, once your hair has cooled down take your Captain Blankenship Mermaid Sea Salt Spray which provides a light and flexible hold to keep your tresses in shape and full of texture. If you want something with a little more hold then the Tigi Bed Head Flexi Head Hairspray gives an ah-mazing hold whilst still allowing movement. This lightweight but effective hairspray keeps your hair looking on point - always! Need we say more?
So, did you know that the trick to effortless, lived in waves was to use two styling tools? Do you have another trick on how to achieve effortless waves you’d like to share with us? : )
