More and more people are seeking out beachy texture for straight hair or to enhance the natural wave or curl they have. Here are some ideas to help your texture shine.
-
Air Dry
Thoroughly apply product to your hair, and twist or scrunch and allow it to air dry to see your natural texture come to life. A great product to use is the curl enhancer and a hold product like phomollient. Once your hair is completely dry, apply a finishing product like anti humectant and gently break up the pattern of your twists to reveal an effortless style.
-
Diffuse
If your hair has a natural texture, you want to use a diffuser when you blow dry along with curl enhancing products. A great diffuser to try is YS Park鈥檚. Simply apply your favorite curl enhancing products, and a little heat protectant, and use the diffuser to speed up the drying process.
-
Twist and Diffuse
This is the method you鈥檒l see used most often in the salon for enhancing texture. You can sit under a dryer and allow your twisted tresses to slowly dry or have the diffuser do the work. By combining the two previous approaches you get a soft textured style that even the most stubborn curls shine through. The key to this is to twist and then allow the hair to dry without further disruption. It鈥檚 tempting, but don鈥檛 touch the twisted strands or you鈥檒l find your hair will get frizzy!

Thickening Tonic
Here鈥檚 a fun fact: your thickening tonic doesn鈥檛 always have to be blow dried to activate its benefits. Thickening tonic works well when the product is blow dried into the hair and the amla fruit extract forms a layer on the hair strand that makes your hair appear physically thicker. That鈥檚 what makes your hair look so luxurious and full, but you can also spray it in and allow it to air dry to give a beachy texture. Enhancing your hair with thickening tonic is a great idea in conjunction with a hold product like phomollient which has honey in it, so the hold doesn鈥檛 need any heat styling to be activated.

Volumizing Tonic
It鈥檚 not just a root boost. Try applying volumizing tonic in a light but thorough mist over all of your hair after you spray at the roots. This will give your hair memory and, when you blow dry at home, you鈥檒l be able to add more movement and curl to your style. This is another tip that鈥檚 great in conjunction with your favorite hold product.
