Spring break is just around the corner, and since we’re in central Texas, the only water relatively close to us is Lake Austin, Lake Travis…or Galveston (womp womp womp). While those bodies of water are great, they aren’t quite the same as a tropical beach off the coast of Florida or even South Padre for that matter. So even though we’re not able to drop everything and go off to an island getaway, we can look like we did! Your friends at Waterstone want to be able to help you achieve beachy hair whenever, wherever in just 3 easy ways!
#1: B&b Surf Spray – this magical bottle of goodness will give you a sexy, salty, sun-dried, windswept style! It’ll really amp up any type of natural wave to the hair, and it’s great for any hair type in general – from thin and straight to thick and wavy! Surf Spray will also add volume and help get rid of frizz. Spray a little directly on your hair and your roots or scrunch it with Brilliantine to add a touch of shine. Less is more and the less you touch it, the longer it’ll hold!

#2: 3-Barrel Curling Iron – also called “waving irons”, this tool can help you achieve the beachy wave look as well! If loose waves is the style you’re going for, get a 3-barrel curling iron with larger barrels. Small barrels will get your tighter waves. Before using this tool on your hair, be sure you use a heat protectant! We recommend the B&b Spray de Mode Hairspray to give a flexible hold and maintain workability. Just separate your hair into sections, spray the hair before you use the waving iron as well as after to keep the wave.


#3: Hair Buns – just step out of the shower and realize you want to try and get beachy waves?? Not to worry! Just section your hair into equal parts and twist and wrap your damp hair into 2-4 low buns (smaller sections give smaller wave). A spritz of Tonic or Styling Lotion will help give the right foundation for your hair before you even start that twist and shout! ;) After your hair dries, undo the buns and lightly brush through your hair with your fingers. For extra hold and definition, add some Surf Spray or Spray de Mode.



So the next time you look outside and the weather looks perfect for laying out by the ocean or building sand castles, give one of these beachy hair wave methods a try! Let us know how it works for you!

Ponytails a Plenty: the ponytail is back, but did it ever fall out of favor? The versatile horsetail can be worn low and flat, tucked under and sectioned off, or super slicked and damp!
The Urban Wave: the beachy wave has given way to the urban bend – a loose, louche curve in the hair that’s effortlessly cool and made to look like the models did it themselves. The street-ready style only requires a rough blow dry, subtle curl with the iron, and raking through with the hands to create the right amount of undone-ness. Pair this style with 
Embellished Updos: imaginative touches defined the season’s most memorable updos. Teased chignons secured with cage barrettes, hair pins, and errant strands look chic, feathers make a striking statement, and pearl-adorned knots steal the show!
Bigger Blowouts: “light,” “gorgeous,” and “rich” were just some of the words stylists used to describe this season’s voluminous bouncy blowouts. It’s a return to elegance that doesn’t require much in the way of high-tech tools either. Simply apply a generous amount of mousse, set hair in pin curls, then release and tousle!
