Hey girlies! I am SO happy to share this post with you today because this is one of the most sought after topics on my Instagram (@amarakay) and I get many questions on how I curl my hair. I decided to do two things to help ya'll out! First, sharing this blog post with you so you can see my step by step process and can refer back to it whenever you want to recreate the look yourself and two, do a tutorial on my Instagram Story where you can watch first hand. I will save it to my Highlights under "Beauty" once it's been past 24 hours!
I am so excited to see how you style your hair by using my how to! Be sure to tag me on Instagram or use the #FiveFootSomething so I can see and share your beautiful new do :) Let's get started, shall we?!
THE PERFECT BEACH WAVES
STEP 01: START BY PARTING YOUR HAIR DOWN THE MIDDLE INTO TWO SIDES AND ADD SOME DRY SHAMPOO AND TEXTURIZING SPRAY TO GIVE THE HAIR SOME GRIT.
STEP 03: POINT THE WAND DOWN AND WRAP THE HAIR AWAY FROM YOUR FACE LEAVING AN INCH OUT ON THE END. ALTERNATE AROUND YOUR HEAD, KEEPING THE CURLS SEPARATE AND BEACHY LIKE. YOU DON'T WANT YOUR HAIR TO TURN INTO ONE GIANT WAVE.
STEP 02: POINT THE WAND DOWN AND WRAP HAIR AROUND TOWARDS YOUR FACE, LEAVING ABOUT AN INCH OFF AT THE END. PULL DOWN ON THE END TO GIVE A RELAXED LOOK.
STEP 04: ONCE YOU GET TO THE TOP LAYER, CURL ALL THE PIECES AWAY FROM YOUR FACE, LEAVING AN INCH OUT AT THE END AND PULLING DOWN ON THE HAIR WHEN YOU RELEASE. THAT KEEPS THE CURL RELAXED!
STEP 05: GENTLY RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH THE MIDDLE TO ENDS OF YOUR HAIR, BREAKING UP THE CURLS AND GIVING YOU THAT MESSY LOOK. ADD BEACH WAY SPRAY OR HAIRSPRAY (DEPENDING ON YOUR PREFERENCE) AND BRUSH OUT THE ENDS WITH A WIDE TOOTH COMB!
