Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be showing you how
00:00:03.880
to get this hairstyle with some of my favorite products.
00:00:10.000
So the last time that I saw my hairstylist, she showed me how to get these kind of beachy
00:00:13.480
waves that I really like and she was nice enough to, during my appointment, actually
00:00:17.240
give me the hair curling iron and show me how to accomplish these waves.
00:00:22.340
She also gave me a couple of recommendations for hair products that I have been absolutely
00:00:29.480
Okay, so the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to start off by separating
00:00:36.100
I want to do the bottom section first and then the top section.
00:00:38.300
So I'm just going to grab a claw clip and I'm just going to put that in there.
00:00:44.360
Now, the first product that I used was actually the Decadent Creamy Mousse by OGX and I love
00:00:51.160
the scent of this, but I put this in my hair when my hair was wet because putting in a mousse
00:00:55.840
when your hair is wet is going to prolong the life of your curls.
00:01:03.460
I curl my hair and then the next day it's falling out.
00:01:06.240
So anything I can do to make my curls last longer, I do.
00:01:08.660
And the next thing I'm going to do is take this Smooth Style Spray from OGX and I'm just
00:01:13.720
going to put this in here to protect my hair from the heat.
00:01:23.400
And what we're going to do now is separate the hair.
00:01:26.400
I'm just going to take one small section like this and I'm going to take my Hot Tools Curling
00:01:40.220
I'm going to put the clamp on the bottom, I'm going to leave the ends out and I'm just
00:01:48.980
I'm going to count a few seconds and then I'm going to release it, but I'm going to hold
00:01:57.960
on to the end like this and it's still on the clamp and then I'm going to release it.
00:02:08.980
So doing this all over the head is just going to make your hair a little bit less like really
00:02:14.120
Shirley Temple Curls and more kind of relaxed, which I really like.
00:02:23.980
So I'm just going to grab a section like this, this is kind of a wide section, but I don't
00:02:30.740
Put the clamp on the bottom, leave 2 inches out, and then curl up the head.
00:02:39.740
Now I'm going to pull this down, kind of pull on the curl and the clamp, and then release
00:02:47.740
So you can see, you get these kind of beachy waves, and I'm just going to do that all along
00:02:53.500
So now I'm just going to show you again on the other side.
00:03:17.500
So I'm going to just leave out 2 inches or so, and then roll it up, hold it there.
00:03:30.420
And then I'm going to release, pull on the clamp, and then release the whole hair.
00:03:36.000
So while this is cooling, I'm going to spray it with this Not Your Mothers After Curfew Unscented
00:03:44.160
And I'm just going to shake that, and I'm going to spray it.
00:03:47.080
Now I'm not doing a heavy layer here because I don't want this to not feel touchable.
00:03:53.120
But this again, if you have the kind of hair that will hold its curl, then you don't have
00:03:59.080
So I have to put in a bunch of products to try and get my hair to curl and last when it's
00:04:05.000
So if you don't have that problem, you don't have to do this.
00:04:07.040
So now I'm just going to take this hair and take the clip out of the top of my hair and
00:04:14.680
just put that in the bottom half of my hair just to keep it separate.
00:04:18.340
And then I'm going to put my hair, just part my hair down the middle and pull all the hair
00:04:28.960
And now I'm just going to spray my hair with that heat protection spray.
00:04:34.960
I'm just going to brush that through, I'm going to let it sit for a minute or two and then
00:05:54.460
I figured I would show you what I do with my bangs.
00:06:18.560
So, what I do here is I want to curl my bangs away from my face, so I put the clamp on
00:06:23.160
top and then I curl this in here, let it sit for about one, two, three, about five seconds,
00:06:34.320
Then I roll it down and kind of curl it back up again, and then I do that one more time,
00:06:45.760
and then I do the same thing I did before where I pull on the curl here, or do that if it slips
00:06:54.320
So, that's what I do on the side of my head, and again, this all looks very kind of tendril-like
00:07:00.320
I'm going to go through and shake it out, but because my hair doesn't hold a curl, I need
00:07:04.320
to let it cool before I try and separate it, because if I separate it now, then by the time
00:07:23.320
I watch my hair爷 but I try to pull my hair into a heel and cut it off.
00:08:37.280
I'm just going to take that clip out and I'm going to spray this side of my hair.
00:08:43.320
And now I'm going to comb it out with my fingers and just kind of get that looser weight.
00:08:54.660
The last couple of things I need to do are put in my Powder Grip mattifying hair powder,
00:09:00.160
which is going to give me some volume at the top and crown of my head, and put in my Paul
00:09:04.780
Mitchell Flexible Style Spray Wax, which will give some definition to my layer.
00:09:08.480
So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to take some of this mattifying hair powder and
00:09:11.400
I'm just going to take the top layer of hair and pull that to the side and then put this
00:09:17.320
And I'm just going to rub that in with my fingers.
00:09:20.480
And I'm going to do the same thing on the other side.
00:09:27.480
And it's just going to give me this volume at the root, which I really, really love.
00:09:35.040
You know, my hair is really flat and so getting any sort of volume is always a great thing.
00:09:40.760
So I really like the way that looks and it lets me kind of have a middle part because I
00:09:44.720
find that if you have really flat hair and you have a middle part, it can look kind of weird.
00:09:48.560
But if you have volume in a middle part, then it looks kind of like cute and flirty.
00:09:53.840
And then I'm just going to take some of this Paul Mitchell Flexible Style Spray Wax and I'm
00:09:58.700
going to spray that at the bottom of my hair, not at the root because I don't want to put
00:10:02.120
anything that's going to weigh down the root, but I do want it on the bottom where it's just
00:10:07.560
And the nice thing about doing this is that if you have hair that naturally holds a curl,
00:10:13.600
You just need to use some of this spray wax because it'll give a little bit of hold, but it'll
00:10:17.480
also kind of define your layers, which is great.
