We’re
already looking forward to Summer here at HeadKandy, so we thought we’d
share our boho waves tutorial with you … it’s the perfect on-trend
hairstyle for the Summer months! Whilst many Summer hairstyles involve pinning your hair up to keep you cool, we
wanted to choose a look that can carry you from day to night, and even
through to the following day too! Katy Perry's hair has been seen with boho waves to complement
her gorgeous new purple hair extensions, and this style can be
regularly seen as a festival hairstyle too! We think it’s such a Summer
staple look with its super easy styling and staying power!
Boho
waves look fantastic with the hair all worn down or with the front
section of hair pinned away from your face, but the advantage of this
style is the shape holds really well for scraping into a messy bun for
the next day! If you want to glam this look up even more, you can wear
your HeadKandy hair extensions; you’ll have super thick boho waves ready
to hit the red carpet!
To
create your summery boho waves, we think that a conical wand works
best, but you can also use a large or medium barrelled tong if you
prefer.
Step One
Start
by fitting your extensions if you are going to be using these for added
length or volume. Once your hair extensions have been fitted, section
your hair around the top of your head. Use a grip to hold the top
section out of your way.
Step Two
Start
styling, with your tongs or wand, on the small underneath section you
have left loose. The most important thing with this boho wave style is
to not make your curls too uniform in size or curl direction.
Step Three
Pull
down the next section of hair and repeat step two. Try to make your
hair into about five sections in total as this will make your curls more
defined. If your hair is finer then reduce this, and if you're lucky
enough to have naturally thick hair, you may have to add another
section.
Step Four
All
your hair should now be curled and hanging down loose. The non-uniform
way of adding the curls should give this a care-free look! Add a little
serum to your fingers (we find that Tigi After Party is awesome for this!) and run this through the lengths of the hair; you
don’t want to pull the curls out too much, just make them a little more
defined with the serum.
Step Five
Take
a small section from your temple, on each side, and direct these
towards the back of your head. Twist these sections of hair; before they
start wrapping around themselves pull these to the back of your head
and pin these together.
Adding
flowers or a pretty hair band will give your style a super hippy feel
and this looks so summery! You can also braid the sections, instead of
twisting, to bring the look bang on-trend for this season!
