Tools Used:
- Paddle Brush
- Sectioning Comb
- Sectioning Grips
- Curling Tongs (Large)
- Diffuser Hair Dryer
- Salt Spray
- Mousse
Process of Creation: Diffused Beach Hair
1. Ensure that the hair is fully
saturated/damp.
2. Begin by applying a gold ball sized amount of
mousse into the palm of your hand and work it through the lengths of the hair
with the finger tips, focusing at the root.
3. Sea salt spray may also be added to the
lengths of the hair.
4. Taking a hair dryer with a diffuser end
(which enables you to hold the dryer closer to the scalp without burning) begin
scrunching the hair together into the diffuser. Work the dryer around the head
to create volume and texture, be sure to do this at the root first and work
your way to the ends.
5. Ensure to work to the condition of the hair,
damaged/processed hair should be dealt with at a lower temperature.
5. Continue to scrunch the hair into the
diffuser to encourage natural movement.
6. When finished style as desired or leave
natural.
Process of Creation: Curled Beach Hair
1. Take a fairly large section of hair roughly 1-2 inches wide.
2. Using a larger curling wand begin to work from the front of the face backwards away from the face but leaving the ends straight. Continue through the rest of the hair alternating direction.
3. This style doesn't necessarily require pinning the curls so just leave them to cool naturally.
4. Once the hair has cooled go in with your fingers to create more body and texture by breaking up the curls to create waves.
5. Once the hair has been curled it can then also be styled as desired.
Process of Creation: Styled Beach Hair (Chignon)
1. Prep the hair using one of the above hair styling techniques to create texture.
2. Section the front of the hair away from the back of the hair along the ear to ear line.
1. Prep the hair using one of the above hair styling techniques to create texture.
2. Section the front of the hair away from the back of the hair along the ear to ear line.
3. Taking the back section of hair secure backwards into a neat low ponytail.
4. Using a tail comb, back comb the top layer (side visible to you) to create density and volume in the ponytail.
5. Taking your fingers roll the hair upwards to create a sausage roll shape at the back of the head and secure the roll at the base of the ponytail.
5. Taking your fingers roll the hair upwards to create a sausage roll shape at the back of the head and secure the roll at the base of the ponytail.
6. Gently pull the sides out back toward the head and secure against the hair with hair pins. This will create the illusion of a bun shape.
7. Style the front as desired.
Evaluation:
My client had previously crimped her hair before we went about creating the beach hair look which meant there was even more texture that had already been put into the hair. Some of this texture was lost during the wetting down process however much of it remained in particular at the root section, this however allowed for a greater amount of volume for the hairstyling. Diffusing the hair gave lots of natural body and texture which was effective as my model has hair that is more fine, because of this the volume that was put in by the diffuser held effectively. This technique is definitely a very quick and effective way of creating the effect of beach hair, I do feel however that this may look better on hair without previous texture such as crimping and also being on black hair makes it difficult to see the texture effectively. The second technique is my preferred for creating beach hair on darker colours as it is more structured but still creates a nice dressed down effect. This technique definitely gives more of a wave effect as opposed to random body, in addition by allowing the hair to fall naturally and not curling the ends makes the final look less polished. I do feel that this style would hold better throughout the day whereas the above one may drop. The final look was that of a basic chignon hairstyle created using the beach hair technique as preparation. This style looked very effortless and pretty as the texture from the diffuser and curling wand allowed for a hairstyle that is traditionally more formal to be dressed down. I decorated the hair with twists from the front section which added a final decorative element to the look. Overall I enjoy the beach hair technique as the use of texture allows you to not only create naturally messy hair but also reinvent classic hairstyles such as chignons and braids etc.
