 Hi, YouTube family. Welcome to today's video, which is going to be hair tutorial. I have so many of you asked about how I was doing my hair now and give me compliments on it. Thank you for all of those. I really do appreciate it. It is just a little bit time-consuming, but if you're looking for something where you really want to dress up for the day or you're even not sure how to get that beachy wave look, then I want to show you today what I do. It's quite simple. I'm going to get into products. I'm also going to get into what I use and how I style as well. What's really cool about doing these beachy waves that I do is that you will have some bend to your hair the next day and I just find that I can wear that second day hair no problem. So I want to share that all with you. Okay, we're going to start out with just showing you what I use for products. The first thing I'm going to put in my hair is the Kenra thermal styling spray. This firm hold and it's heat activated. So that means that you're going to get some protection from this product as you put it into your hair or as you style your hair. What you want to do is you want to get it all over. This is to hold the curl in your hair. When you first start spraying this, I just want you to lift and go underneath a lot so that all of the hair can get completely coated with the spray. Then you're going to let that dry for just a second because what we're going to do next is we're actually going to comb that out. So it would feel really stiff if you just touched it right now. It's going to feel really stiff. You definitely have product in there, but that is the need is that you need to have that product in there in order for it to keep the curl. My hair is fine and it is straight. Even though I do have a lot of it right now, it is very, very straight. I did use this. This is called Thicket Cream. I'm not sure how to say this. It's L-A-N-G-E. So it's L-A-N-G. I think that's how you say that, but I'm not sure. I'm actually trying out quite a few products from them. This one is really nice, like a dime size does my long thick hair. So just remember if you do decide to get this to go easy on it. I know they were having a sale on products and I picked up a bunch of them. And then this one is the Root Booster. I did use this in my hair before I blew my hair dry. All you do with this one, if you can see there's a directing nozzle on there and you just lift sections and spray one spray and then rub it in. And it gives your hair a lot of lift at the root. And so I use that and then I also use their heat shield on my ends before I blew my hair dry or blew my hair dry. And so I just wanted to make sure that I mentioned those to you because those are the products that I put in my hair to blow it dry, even though I let it like probably 75% dry on its own. I at the very end I put and it's still damp. I put those products in there and I do go ahead and blow my hair dry upside down. But I did sleep on it last night. So it doesn't have a lot of volume. Okay. So what we're going to do is we're just gonna start by picking up this hair right here. I'm taking my top layer of hair and I left a bunch down. Can you see how much I left down? I'm going to be doing a fairly loose beachy wave today. What how this works is whatever you pick for a curling iron, I'm using a one inch hot tools actual curling iron that has the spring on it and the clip on it there. I love this tool. I have the one in a quarter. I don't have any other sizes. But I like it because it's the ceramic titanium. And what it does is it delivers those ions or negative ions or whatever to your hair to have your hair draw them or draw the moisture and keep your hair sleek and shiny. So there's minimal damage with this. But I like to make sure that my hair is protected from the damage with other products like what I just showed you. So what happens with this size of a barrel is if I take smaller pieces, I'm going to get a much tighter curl. Today, I'm not going to be taking smaller pieces. I'm going to be taking bigger pieces because I want to have a little bit looser of a curl. So you're just going to pick up the hair however much you think you should. You will probably have to experiment with this a couple of times to get it to be where you want it to be. So I'm going to clamp that hair pretty close to my scalp at the very end and I'm just going to start twisting and I'm just going to start twisting and you can see this hair right here is still left out. I'm not going to take it clear to the end because I want a tiny bit of that hair right there at the end. I'm hoping you guys can see all that left out so that it can be kind of straight on the ends and then I'm going to just do the same. Now, I'm curling this hair backwards towards the back. I do that all the way until the middle of the back there. I've got a straggler right here I need to pick up and then I will do that on this side as well. And like I said, I'm kind of going for a pretty loose curl here. I'm not going for a really tight curl like I had the other day but again, you just take it towards your scalp, towards the top of the barrel, twist it so that that hair on the bottom starts coming around. Keep twisting it until you feel that this hair down here is the length you want it to be. I leave about an inch out I guess I should say and forgive me for not looking at the camera as much as I should. So with this hair right here again, I'm going to let down some more and I will be doing about I would say about three to four rows of letting my hair down and then curling it and letting my hair down and then curling it. The other thing that kind of helps when you do this is if you pull this forward, that curl is going to kind of come forward and frame your face a little bit. So I do that a lot. So I'm pulling that curl forward, catching it by the scalp, twisting it until I have about an inch left out and then letting it go. And again, I'm not leaving it in there for a long time. You can leave it in there for longer and when I want a tighter curl, I do leave it in there for longer. Just don't burn your hair. Don't leave it in there very long because I have this curling iron turned up all the way because my hair is really because my hair really struggles with getting keeping a curl and that piece does not want to cooperate. So when I put it behind there, sometimes when I'm doing this, I actually lose the grip of the hair and the curling iron and when you do that, you can go ahead and go back and grab the curl again if you need to. I'm just going to do this one separate, that teeny one because it doesn't want to cooperate. And then again on this side, I'm pulling forward and that's going to help to frame my face a little bit. Okay, now on this one, I'm just going to let all this hair fall. This is all my crown hair up here and then I'm going to take all of my forward hair or all of my hair that is on my forehead, I should say, and I'm going to just put that into a clip. And then I'm just going to continue to curl it just exactly the way that I showed you before all the way around this part. Start at the top and then twist, release and twist, release and twist until your hair starts to come around where you want it to. Okay, so I'm going to show you on this big piece right here what you want to do. This is thicker piece and it's wider, like this wide. So I'm going to just divide it in two by the bottom part and I'm going to do that bottom part first. And it's still a lot of hair in there, so it's still going to give me a bigger curl. But if I had put the other one in, it would have had a really hard time curling. Take that other part, which still feels a little bit fat to me. So I'm going to take some of the back of it out there and I'm going to throw it back. You will get a feel of this as you go along and as you do your own hair a few times, you'll get a feel for it. It's not a difficult hairstyle. Like I said, it's just time consuming and it's a learning process too. Like the curling iron just let loose of that curl and it's one of my top ones. I don't want it to not be curled. So I'm going to make sure I go back in, grab it a little tighter and let it sit. Letting down this bang part of my hair and I'm going to start back here. So I have my part that I did make when I blew my hair dry. So I kind of want to hold to that part and keep that. This side is going to be a lot less full. A lot less curls on that side than there is on the other one. I've got this all over in my lip gloss and in my nose and it drives me crazy. I usually have it all pinned back. Okay, I'm doing the same exact thing that I did before but right up here, I'm not going to keep that curl in as long because I don't want it to be as pronounced as the other curls. So it's a little bit bigger. I'm just kind of just bending it is more what I'm doing than anything but I'm definitely not keeping that curl in for very long at all. Plus, I'm going to just kind of touch it with my fingers to just get more of the heat out of it so it doesn't continue to curl. And now I'm going to start with this top part and pick up about the same as we were picking up everywhere else. And again, I want you to pull this hair forward and when we put it in the curling iron, it's going to be pulled forward on our head. And this one I'm going to put in and leave in for the full amount of time because I do want this one curled nicely. And then this one right here, I'm going to do in twos like I did the other one. And again, I am just bending this. I know I've been looking down a lot through this video. I'm sorry, but there are mirrors right below the camera. Okay, so we've got our hair all done. So next what I'm going to do is I'm going to take a medium hold hair spray. This is Kendra number 13. This is their perfect medium spray. It's going to help with the curl that we've already gotten so we don't lose it through the day. So I'm just going to spray this all over the curl. This is going to end up being a little bit more bouncy than I wanted it to be. But you'll definitely get to see those beachy waves. Okay, at this point, please don't ever put a comb or a brush in your hair because when you do what's going to happen is you're going to brush that curl out. And the other thing you want is you want a piecey look so you don't want it to be brushed out. So basically I just start and I just run my fingers through it just a little bit. I'm not going to do a lot here. I'm just kind of separating the curls and letting them fall where they want to. And that's the beauty of having beachy waves is they don't have to look perfect at all. Just run your fingers through there and just get them pieced apart and just keep doing that all the way around until you feel like you've got that hair all kind of separated a little bit. Okay, and then on the front same thing you're going to just kind of go through each individual curl a little bit more than you did on the sides because on the sides all we did was we just kind of pulled on it. Okay, so I want you to see how this looks right now. It looks okay right now but what I'm going to do we're like really not got any volume right here. Limp, fine, whatever you want to call it. So if I take this curl right here in my hand and I flip it over to the other side what's going to happen is now all those curls are going backwards and they are instantly lifted by that. So they went the opposite direction and that's what gives it so much lift right there. Now if you feel like there's any place in there that you want more lift like I kind of want some more lift right through here. So I have a comb that has like a pick on the end of it. So I'm just going to lift that up and I'm just going to pick through that. See how thin my hair is right through there but I'm just going to pick through that to give it a little bit more body and I'm going to do some back combing with that pick in order to give just a little bit more body. I don't want too much I just want a bit but I still want to retain this particular curl right here and continue to try and separate and give definition to all these other curls. Okay last step I'm going to use my Kenra 25. I love Kenra so much you guys you know I do. I'm going to use my Kenra 25 and wherever I want that curl to stay or that volume to stay I'm going to spray it and I'm going to pick it up with my fingers a little bit. Kenra 25 is my holy grail hairspray. I absolutely love it. It is just one of those hair sprays that I have used forever and ever and it never fails me. This will be my style for the rest of the day for sure and probably for a couple of days. So there you have it guys I hope that you can see all of it.
