TWO: The PERFECT Beachy Look
If only everyday could be a day at the BEACH … with these simple steps you can look like it is!
1. Prep your hair: When it’s wet with Aveda Botanical Repair strengthening leave-in treatment + Volumizing tonic. Section off your hair and spray at the roots. Then give your hair an all over spray for extra shine! ✨
2. Blow dry. Then spray all over with Aveda Heat Relief for that extra iron protection!
3. Curl using the Elongated curl technique. Curl hair around the barrel of the iron starting at the ends working up to the root. To remove, pull down gently in an elongated twisting motion.
4. Finish by running your fingers through your hair to comb out the curls. Spray with Aveda Texture Tonic (holding a few inches away) + piece it out.
Now go ROCK 🤘 your BEACHY look!

THREE: Curls Two Ways – One Tool
Your style changes depending on the day (or is it the weather?). But you only have one tool in your house. Is it a flat iron? Create tight + loose Beachy waves AND tight + loose Spiral curls with that ONE tool you have!
First watch this quick video to see how they are done.
1. Tight Beach Wave – To get the “wave” point the nose of your flat iron down. And the more “curls” you add with your iron, the more waves you will get.
2. Loose Beach Wave – Use the technique of SLIDE-BEND-SLIDE to lengthen your waves. Again pointing the nose of your flat iron down.
3. Tight Spiral Curl – Hold your flat iron parallel to the ground. And like with your beach waves, the more “curls” you add with your iron, the more spirals you will get.
4. Loose Spiral Curl – Drag out as your curl to lengthen the spirals, leaving the tail out.
BONUS TIPS:
- To enhance your spirals, give them a twist when done.
- To curl on 2+ Day old hair we recommend:
- For oily hair clean with @aveda Shampure Dry Shapoo
- For ALL hair types protect with @aveda Heat Relief
