Aveda How-To | Create Your Own Beachy Waves Without Heat

[, MUSIC PLAYING ] Hi, I'm Emily. And I'm a student at the Aveda Institute of Minneapolis. And today I'm going to show you how to make beachy waves on yourself.. So, to start out, what we're going to be doing is taking some water and wetting down your hair., I'm doing two braids today, because my hair is not too super thick and it takes curl really easily because I have natural curl in my hair already.. Now, if you want to practice trying three or four it really depends. You're, just kind of have to try it out on yourself and see how it all goes., So I've liberally put water all over my hair and I'm going to brush that water through on both Sides. I have two equal sections right, now. And since my hair also takes curl really well, I'm going to make these braids a little bit looser. So now to set my hair, I'm going to use Phomollient.. This works really really well for the beachy wave look. And I'm going to take that and just put it through the hair from right about my ear down to the bottom, all the way to the ends.. If you start your braids too high up, it's not going to look like beachy waves., It's going to look like almost like a crimper or a different style.. It doesn't necessarily look bad. It just looks different. So now that I've got my Phomollient in I'm going to make a three strand braid.. So one two and three strands. And I'm going to take one side, pull it over the middle and onto the other side. Then this side, over the middle and onto the other. And I'm doing this sort of loose not too loose, but also not too tight., And you want to get as close to the bottom as possible. Otherwise, if you keep the hair binder on at the end, then it's not all the way to the bottom. It'S going create a crease and you don't necessarily want.. So I'm going to go right about to there., I'm going to take my elastic and secure the hair with that elastic and move to the other side.. So I think this side just needs a little more. A water. Just make sure that it's nice and coated. Try not spray yourself in the face. And I'm going to brush it through one more time. And add the Phomollient, a good amount.. I have quite a bit in my hand. And making sure that you are pulling your setting all the way through to the end. Make sure you've gotten all your little hairs pulled through., And now that my Phomollient is in I'm going to section this into three equal Parts and begin my braid. Now with this look, what I'm going to be doing is pinning it up, because I'm going to be sleeping on this overnight. Now, if you're kind of a crazy sleeper rolling around a lot like I do, you might want to wear a Scarf and wrap it around just to make sure that you're not getting too much frizz and messing up your beautiful beachy waves you just made by the braids., So I'm down to the bottom here. I'm going to secure it again with another elastic just like so, and Then I'm going to be pinning this up., So I'm just kind of pinning it up and around in the back and using Bobby pins to secure it., [, MUSIC PLAYING ] I'll, probably use five or six. Since I am going to be sleeping on this just to make sure everything stays in a good place, and it's where I want it. A little end dropped through got to get that one.. Ok, so that's that side. And then I'll do the same on this one. Just pinning them up nicely. And now that I have them all pinned up I'll show you what it looks like from the back.. So thankfully it worked out that it pinned up nicely because I'm going to go out to dinner after this, but now that this is just going to set overnight I'll wrap it up in a scarf, go to sleep, and I will see you tomorrow. Good morning. I'M back., I have slept on my hair. I slept last night., I'm going to unpin these beachy waves and we'll see how it looks.. So I'm going to be using a little bit of product today, probably just some dry remedy oil to run. My fingers, through my hair. And I do have a brush just in case. I need it., But we'll see how it looks once I take these braids out., I'm just going to be really gentle with the binders.. Sometimes they get a little stuck. Try to be really gentle, so you don't pull your hair out accidentally. And I'm really generally just going to loosely pull those braids apart. Just one little section at a time., I'm going to leave that there for now and start on the other side. And, as you can see, I'm just -- with my fingers. -- puling one little section apart at a time, really gently trying not to disturb the curl pattern, all the way to the top. And as you can see, I've got these really really nice loose waves.. So I'm going to use just a few drops of my dry remedy oil, just tipping it over and just getting one or two drops there running it through my fingers and just starting at the ends, just kind of piecing it through and again being really gentle with A nice soft touch with these. I'm going to go close to my scalp, but not too much towards the top, because I don't want it to look oily at all., [, MUSIC PLAYING ] And I'm just kind of getting rid of the clumps of the Phomollient. That I used for my setting product last night. And I like to shake it out a little bit just kind of piece. It apart. And I will finish off with my Be Curly, hair, spray., Just spray on a few spritzes here and there.. You can spray a little extra on the ends and just kind of scrunch them a little bit just loosely like that again, not disturbing that curl pattern. And now I have a finished look.. So I hope you enjoyed this hair tutorial on the beachy waves and I hope to see you next time. [, MUSIC PLAYING ]
