A classic style that looks gorgeous on just about anyone in summer and most anytime of year is easy, soft, romantic waves that look like you’ve just come from the beach with textured strands and piece-y waves. Celebrity hairstylist Dean Banowetz created this look with his team at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2012 at the show of Cia.Maritima, a popular Brazilian swimwear designer.
“I wanted to create a style that was inspired by the collection’s bold colors, beautiful prints and textured fabrics to mimic the fluidity and movement of the designs,” says Banowetz.
How to get the look:
- Separate hair into sections starting from the bottom layer at the nape of the neck
- Spray sea salt to coat the hair, adding texture and body
- Back comb at the root for volume and fullness
- Twist small sections of hair varying the amount of spins, to create tight and loose piece-y waves
- Wrap the twisted strands around the barrel of theInStyler*, closing the clamp for 15 seconds to set the curl
- Release the strand and once cool, separate by pulling at the end to give the hair a natural wave
- Repeat until each section is complete
- Flip hair upside-down, and finish by spraying a light mist of sea salt spray while scrunching hair for texture
*Banowetz used the InStyler for this look. You can also use a large-barrel curling iron; but the InStyler, which has a rotating heated barrel to distribute heat more evenly, tends to be easier to work with and gives a smoother, more polished look (available for $119 at getinstyler.com).
