in Hair

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.

    Thanks for the tips!! I’ve been a long time reader of your site and am wondering, is that the hair dryer you use on a regular basis? I’ve been using a T3 for five years now and it’s starting to give out, so I’m looking for a new one. Thanks!

    I’m keeping my hair long till after my wedding in Spetember, and then chopping a good few inches! But in the meantime? Rocking the casual, air-dry waves and neeeeeed heeeeeeelp to make it more beachy, less ‘I slept on wet hair and it’s mostly dry and then I went out in the humidty and this is what I was left with’. :)

    I’ve been doing this with my wavy/frizzy hair this summer and get to work so much earlier (you know more like on time) than in the past. Thanks for sharing the tips!

    Oh, wow, do I need this! My hair has just turned wavy over the last 6 months and I am trying to learn how to manage/style my new hair – your tutorials have been a huge help. I love my new beach waves, but would love to take the extra frizz out of them. Thanks for the opportunity!

    Sweet Lordy loo! Pleaseeeee pick me to win the gift bag as a) I love your blog and have been an avid reader/watcher for years b) my hair dryer literally JUST blew up (well to be honest there was only a lot of smoke, no flames….haha..gulp) and c) what I’ve do e with my hair over the last year or so is directly attributable to you and ‘old’ hair Thursday posts.
    Peace out. Susan
