How to Have Beachy Waves Whenever You Want

Who doesn’t love the flirty, casual beachy wave look that you get from spending time at your favorite vacation spot? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have that look throughout the year, whenever you want? Well, you can!

Here are three easy ways to keep your beach vacation going with at-home beachy waves:

1. Purchase A Beachy Wave Curling Rod:

A tapered barrel with a tourmaline or ceramic coating will be easier on your locks and will give you the best results instead of using a curling iron with a hinged clamp. If you have long, thick hair, opt for a longer, wider barrel; if you want a tighter curl go with a smaller tapered barrel. Be sure to use product that will help to hold your waves and not weigh them down.

Our hair stylists at our Buckhead salon prefer Aveda Air Control Light Hold Hair Spray for the job. Just spray some directly onto your brush or directly onto each section of hair before using your beachy wave curling rod. Section off your hair to get the best results and begin with the bottom layer of your hair.

2. Aveda Texture Tonic and Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo:

Aveda Texture Tonic adds volume to your hair and has just the right amount of natural cane sugar and salt to help you to scrunch it in order to create and hold those beautiful waves.  Second day hair or fresh out- of- bed hair can benefit from this deliciously scented spray. You can also combine it with Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo to absorb oil and freshen your hair. Apply the Aveda Texture Tonic first, followed by the Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo for fabulous hair.  

To apply: Flip your hair over and spray underneath to target oily areas and to get the best absorption. If at times you find your hair feeling a bit dry, use a moisturizing conditioner after your next regular shampoo.  We highly recommend Aveda Invati Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo followed by Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Conditioner to keep your hair looking its best.
