Blake’s beachy waves have made rounds on all fashion magazines and Instagram fashion pages, and if you want to recreate Blake’s hairstyle, keep reading to find out how you can do so in five steps or less:
Step #1: Work for that texture
What sets apart Blake Lively’s beachy waves from those of other celebrities is that texture that her hairstylist manages to nail every time. To get that coveted beach hair texture, it is recommended that you start with freshly washed hair using sulfate-free products and a deep conditioner.
Step #2: Dry and smooth brush your hair
While your hair is still damp, brush them to remove any tangles and set a partition in your hair depending upon what you want your hair extensions to look like. Use a heat protectant and a hair dryer to dry your hair, and use a paddle brush to smooth ends and curl your cuticles inwards. Using a paddle brush would also help protect your hair from gathering any frizz.
Step #3: Get that length in
If you are blessed with naturally long and thick hair, you may as well skip this step altogether and head onto step number four. However, if you fall in with the remaining 98% percent, this is a cue for you to apply hair extensions to achieve length and thickness in your natural hair. It is recommended that you opt for clip in hair extensions, that are both easy to maintain and even easier to apply yourself.
Step #4: Curl ‘em like there’s no tomorrow
Once you have all your hair prep complete, the next step is to curl your hair using a wide barrel wand. Keep in mind that the bigger barrel you use, the looser your waves are likely to be, and hence choose a barrel width depending upon your preference. Try to turn your curling barrel in different directions and alternate with every new lock of hair to get a natural feel. It is also important that you use a texturizing spray and a heat protectant before hitting your hair with the curling barrel.
Step #5: Complete the finishing touches
Once you have your curls in place, use a paddle brush to gently brush your hair and open up the curls to reveL beachy waves. Use a combination of hair oil and hairspray to ensure that your locks remain the same for the entire evening while also shining through.
Conclusion
Blake Lively is a fashion icon and her beachy waves are even more iconic than she is. Whether it be on the streets of New York on the Met Gala entrance, her shiny and wavy locks have graced our screens numerous times, and getting the same look for you is easier than it may seem.
