This post is sponsored by Sally Beauty. Thanks for supporting this site! (And my hair.)
First things first. My hair is SO LONG right now. I’m getting it cut tomorrow, and couldn’t be more excited. *cue fanfare*
Since it’s summer, I’m giving the good ol’ curling iron a rest, and enhancing my natural waves, which requires a LOT less effort. Hallelujah. Here’s how you can do it in 5 easy steps.
Products used – Ion Summer Shampoo, Ion Summer Deep Conditioning Treatment, Ion Spray Gel for Wave/Curly Hair, and Ion Texturizing Sea Spray. Also, a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment. (All from Sally Beauty.)
1. Wash and towel dry your hair, squeezing any extra moisture out of your hair. Try not to rub the hair – just gently squeeze it.
2. Apply Ion Spray Gel all over your hair.
3. Give it a good scrunch.
4. If you have the time, let your waves air dry, but if you are pressed for time, use a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment to keep hair frizz at bay.
5. After your waves are dry, spray Ion Texturizing Sea Spray to create definition and texture throughout for a true beachy look. I like to twist a few small sections of hair, however, the key is not to fuss with your hair too much – the more fuss, the more frizz. Seriously, that should be a t-shirt slogan. More fuss, more frizz.
Voilá! Go forth into the summer months like a beachy, mermaid goddess.
Oh oh oh! Did I mention that Sally Beauty is running a fantastic sweepstakes right now? BEACHES RESORTS, PEOPLE. To be specific, a 4 day/3 night Caribbean Vacation to any Beaches Resort. Hmmm, should it be Turks and Caicos or Jamaica? You can enter between 7/1/14 and 7/31/14 right here.

July 8, 2014 at 7:31 amMy hair is a curly/wavy/frizz prone combo. I haven’t fussed with my hair routine in a while, but would love to try out Ion (and finally attempt to use my diffuser).

July 8, 2014 at 7:36 amMaybe if I use these products, my hair will have some beachy waves, instead of laying flat on my head? Or maybe I just need to go to Turks and Caicos to try out real beachy waves!
