This is my favorite spring/summer/fall hair. It's SO easy. If I could do this everyday (I cannot, as damp hair is chilly in the winter), it would never take more than 5 minutes to do my hair in the morning.
I've talked about my hair coloring strategy. What you also need to know is that I have a severe case of the fly-aways at the top of my head. It makes wearing straight hair difficult because, if it's a bad hair day in the least, I look like Woodstock from The Peanuts. And curled hair is great, but takes time. This is messy beach hair that can be worn anywhere. And, yes, I do wear it to school like this.
Also important: I have thick-ish hair, but not super-thick. I guess I just mean it's not thin. And it has a wave to it. Not curl, necessarily. Just "a wave". So it crimps naturally if I let it.
So, you start, by going to bed with damp-ish hair. I usually take a shower in the evening when I come back from the gym (as if I've been to the gym lately..har har har). Just take it your wet hair and pile it into a bun on top of your head. I don't even brush it. I wring out the excess water with a towel and pull it up.
The next morning, it still may be a little damp when you take it down, but that's okay. It crimps better that way. I use this pomade. It's about $4 and the container lasts forever.

| Curl suddenly exists where it wouldn't normally |

Do you have a signature hairstyle that you go to seasonally?? I'm extremely low maintenance when it comes to hair, so this works perfectly for me.
I wish my hair had even a tiny bit of curl! i love the beachy look!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is so limp that no matter what I do it's just...limp. In the summer I refuse to do anything to it because it's too hot here. So it just looks messy...and limp. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wished that I could wear my hair like that. It looks so natural and easy. I wear my hair pulled up in a ponytail or a twist almost everyday to avoid having to flat iron and fix it!
ReplyDelete1. Gorgeous
ReplyDelete2. I didn't realize how blonde you are, but I love it!
3. I wonder if this would work on my hair.
Your hair looks so good like that! I wish mine would keep calm and just curl; however, mine is more like bozo with a splash of frizz if I don't straighten it or torture it with a curling iron.
ReplyDeleteLovely. :) I have a tendency to do the same things with my hair all the time because I am hair styling impaired. After I got my last hair cut, the stylist showed me how to curl it with a flat iron. My hair is pretty thick and has a wave similar to yours. I pretty much just go to bed with it damp, and wake up in the am. It's mostly dry by then, and it's "curled" up nicely. So I end up only having to use the flat iron to fix certain spots that didn't turn out quite right.
