Whether you’re heading to the tropics for a little R&R this holiday season or you happen to live in a part of the country that gets sunshine year-round – learn a couple tips and tricks that will keep your hair looking flawless whether you’re our adventuring or spending time with family. “The trick is to teach a technique that takes minimal time and effort, yet yields impactful results,” says Sam Villa, co-founder of Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken 5th Avenue.
Follow along below for a technique Villa uses often to get the perfect beach waves. It entails air drying hair and then finessing the texture with a curling iron to define curls, reduce frizz and add shine. It’s the perfect way to polish tresses for the evening after hair has air dried during the day.
Beach Waves
- Apply Redken No Blow Dry Just Right Cream to damp hair.
- Brush product through with a Sam Villa Wide Cutting Comb.
- Air dry hair.
- Add definition and polish to curls by curling frizzy and/or straight pieces with a Sam Villa Artist Series 2-in-1 Marcel Iron and Wand.
- Remove the Marcel handle and work random sections with the wand. Wrap section around the wand, and removing the hair, pull the curl to stretch and soften movement to create a soft beachy wave.
- Finish with Redken Fashion Waves 07 for the perfect sea salt textured effect.
“This can literally take minutes to do – it doesn’t have to be perfect…just add enough bend in the hair to add interest and a polished finish,” adds Villa.
