1. Brushed Out Spiral Curls
Bao likes this look because your hair will have a nice spiral curl, but it won’t look too perfectly curled and hairsprayed, like you’re trying hard, haha.  Run your fingers after you curl your hair with a one inch barrel iron or use a paddle brush to fluff it up.  To avoid frizz, spritz a tiny bit of hairspray.

2. long bob “lob”
The wash and go hair!  Perfect for those girls that just rather sleep in, hop in the shower and leave the house with their hair wet! Like Bao!

3. super long, full hair.
Can’t wait until your hair grows out? Why not just fake the funk! You could either go to a hair salon and spend hundreds of dollars for braid-in hair extensions, or you can go to Sally Beauty Supply store and buy a pack of clip-on human hair extensions for $60. Treat it like your own hair: shampoo, condition, and blow dry it! You can even dye it!

4. long blunt bangs
If you decide to cut them at home, make sure you form a triangle at the top of the bangs, and always leave the sides slightly longer than the middle to avoid any mess ups. It’s an instant makeover if you’re just bored of your hair one night. Instant gratification! Use hair scissors, not paper scissors, trust Bao (and me), we learned our lesson! To be safe rather than sorry, go to a hair salon – it only costs $5-10 for bang trim. And bring a picture, it speaks a million words!

5. fishtails braids
Okay, this one’s kinda tough. Bao likes the look but has not yet achieved it. (Heck, she can’t even do an old fashion braid – her own words, not mine!).  So Bao found a very nice youtube tutorial. It’s in Japanese, but you’ll get the idea!

I like Frederic Fekkai’s Wave Creating Spray.  I saw it at Sephora and decided to give it a try since you can pretty much return anything at that store.

So I tried it and I love it!  It totally gives you that bouncy, beachy look all day long.  It adds a nice gloss without weighing it down and making it all greasy.

I just took a look at all the reviews at Sephora.com, and some people hate this product.  I think a lot of people aren’t using it right.

Here are my tips:

• I noticed it’s always better to fully shampoo and condition your hair first.
• The first key point is to let your hair sit in a towel for a bit so your it’s not drenched; it doesn’t work too well when your hair is dripping wet.
• Next, spray about 5-6 sprits (I have long hair) and lightly massage throughout hair.
• Now just take small sections of your hair and twist it around your index finger to form multiple ringlets throughout your hair for better wave definition.
• Here’s the second key point.  You MUST have a blow dryer with a diffuser.  If you don’t use a diffuser, the waves really don’t come out at all for me.
• Diffuse hair thoroughly while holding the diffuser longer on the dampest parts of your hair.

That’s it! Light, wavy, super cute BEACH hair.  You’re ready for summer!
