Natural Beach Hair

- One thing to remember when doing beach hair, it's waves, not curls - 

Equipment;

• Sea salt
• Mousse
• Hair dryer 
• Defuser
• Curling tong
• Straighteners
• Pin tail comb

Method;

1. Wash/wet the hair you're going to use
2. Dry off around 80% of the hair, leave it slightly damp
3. Apply mousse throughout the hair, and scrunch together slightly
4. Then apply some sea salt in the hair to get it texture, again, scrunch together slightly
5. Use the hair dryer with the defuser on the end, for stronger hair, use a hotter heat, but for damaged hair, use a medium to low heat
6. Get your model to lean their head backwards and then forwards, while getting all the hair in the defuser
7. This tends to bring out the natural curl in peoples hair
8. For people with naturally straight hair, use a lot more product at the beginning of the process

Beach Hair using Curlers

1. Carry on from where you left off before
2. Turn the curler on and section off a layer of the top hair near the parting, and place to the opposite side to which it normally sits
3. Curl a few sections of the hair underneath the layer you just put to one side and curl the hair away from the face
4. Let cool slightly, then brush through with your finger
5. Release the section of hair you put to one side and brush through the hair with the paddle brush slightly

Beach Waves using Straighteners

1. Twist a small section of hair, and twist in another piece, and then twist those two sections together
2. Turn on the straighteners, and press down onto the hair you just twisted together
3. If it starts to sizzle from the products, gently glide the straighteners up and down the length of the hair
