i kind of want it wavy, if i straighten it the humidity will make it frizz. rollers to set my hair at night is good but they dont hold.


any helpp?How can i get a summer beachy look, with my kinda tightly curled hair?
what you can do is either scrunch your hair,





Wash your hair,


Squeeze the excess water out.Towel/air dry for 10-15 minutes. Divide hair into 3-4 sections. To scrunch it, scrunch your hair from the ends going upward to your roots (like scrunching a piece of paper), once you're at the root, secure with a hair clip/claw. You want it damp but not soaking wet and dripping.








Wrap your hair in a small towel (for thin hair leave on a few minutes, for thick hair up to 20 minutes). Do not rub your hair at all with a towel (this will cause frizziness). What you can do is scrunch it gently within the towel if the ends are still dripping.





Run your fingers like a wide-tooth comb through your hair and make a part as best as you can. Don't worry if it's not perfect!





Use hairspray. Put it near the middle and bottom of your hair. Putting it too close to your roots will cause it to look greasy and weighed down.





Turn your head upside down so that your hair is hanging down. This step is optional and some prefer to skip it. Helps give volume and a more even scrunch.





Put gel/mousse in your hands and rub them together to spread the gel/mousse.





Grab a small handful of hair by the ends and push it up toward the head. Hold it in place for a few moments while aiming the hair dryer at it to 'set' the gel/mousse/hair spray.





Repeat this all over your head, reapplying the gel every time. Keep in mind that small handfuls yield tighter waves and large handfuls create full, loose waves.





Leave hair alone while air-drying if you opt to not blow-dry with a diffuser. If you mess with it too much it will cause frizz.





Do not rush the steps or rush to dry it. Letting it dry by itself is a way to leave it with a wet look.





Spray an even amount of spray wax at the middle and ends of your hair for more texture. If your hair isn't as wavy/scrunched as you like it, add a small dime sized amount of to it, and scrunch to your roots. Remember to spread out your hands, or it will clump, which never looks good.














OR you could take your straightner and wave your hair,





Wash hair and add some heat protection to avoid burning or further damaging the hair.








Comb (or brush) through your hair to remove tangles. (Don't skip this step!)





Turn on straightener and let it heat up. (Make sure your hair iron is about one inch and round or it won't work as well.)





Take a section of your hair, starting in the front (about half an inch to an inch works well, but it's your preference) and hold straightener at the top of the strand, by the root.





Clasp it, flip the straightener 180 degrees and pull down slowly. Then flip straightener the other way and pull down slowly. Keep flipping until you reach the end of hair piece. Make sure to go slowly or it won't wave.





Another way to wave hair is to clasp the straightener near the root, facing downwards. Slowly twist the straightener toward you (so the hair is wrapped around the straightener), and slowly pull down.





Add some hair spray after finishing to lock in hairstyle





HOPE I HELPED (:


And hunny, hairspray will be your bestfriend!
