We are so excited that Spring has finally arrived. Today on the blog, stylist Mandy Castellaw is sharing some of her favorite Spring styling tips and products. Thank you Mandy!!……….
Spring has sprung ladies! It’s time to freshen up those locks and try some new styles for the warmer weather. Loose, wavy curls are all the rage and a super simple look to achieve – especially as we battle humidity in the south.
Here are a few tips to achieve these wavy curls……
~ladies wearing longer lengths should use a 1.5 inch barrel
~if you have a medium length, use a 1-1.5 inch barrel
~ if you are sporting a short style you should use a 1 inch barrel
The best brand to use is Hot Tools (carried at Ulta). As a professional, this is my preferred brand for curling irons/wands.
You can find the 1 inch barrel by clicking here.
A textured look means it doesn’t need to be perfect or uniform…and thank goodness for that!
A few key tips to get the right curl:
~curl back and away from the face on both sides so as to avoid a “prom” type curl.
~leaving the last inch out of the curling iron provides the more loose, beachy wave vs. a tight curl.
~a dry texture spray is crucial in maintaining this look and will help the curls survive for days on end.
My two favorites are Moroccan Oil Dry Texture Spray as well as ColorProof Texture Charge. You can find links to each one by clicking on them.
