1. As soon as you get out of the shower, towel dry your hair and mist it with salt spray. We like Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Spray, $19.99.
2. Blow-dry your hair with a diffuser to bring out your natural waves. As you're drying, try to scrunch your hair to create more texture. (If you're not naturally wavy, curl hair starting at chin level with a 1-inch curling iron).
3. Now, make two small sections of hair at the front of your head. Taking one of the sections, begin to gently twist until you reach the end of the strand. Repeat the same step for the other section.
4.Bring the two together at the middle at the back of your head. Secure them together with a small, clear elastic. Pretty huh?
5. Continue steps three and four, continuing to grab sections from the front of your hair. Once you're satisfied with your swoon-worthy style, secure with an elastic, spritz some hairspray, and go break some hearts.

For me, clip up the back, pick it out a little, and go!

Good ideas. I agree with the previous comment about the rest of us with curly and frizzy hair.

Great .. for beautiful young things w/long, gorgeous hair. Now, how about for the rest of us? What about our mid-length, frizzy manes left over from Spring?

I actually like the last look the best. My hair would be perfect for this style. I think I'll try it!

I have very straight hair that now is a bit shorter than I would like. The summer means up away from my neck as I have to walk everywhere and that means heat and sticking to me. I have to say, that I have not heard of a salt spray or was it sea. I can say, the sea water does wonders for my skin and hair. I do have a root volumizing spray and will try it this year. I found that when I once got a perm, the hair may have been easier to be off the face. Just don't like the process of chemicals on my hair. The braiding of the hair also will work if your hair is long, it adds body and was a good look if you have time.

I wear this look but I get it with "hot sticks" and shaping spray. I use a freeze it to hold .Lighter if I want it to blow in the breeze.

looks are cute, but in the summer heat, i feel like they all won't hold up. i like the pinned back bangs and the tousled/beachy looks best.
