My flight from LAX to JFK the day before yesterday was sullen, to say the least. In a span of eight hours, I went from soaking up the sun and Pacific Ocean breeze, only to be interrupted by a Virgin America plane cabin with lighting strangely identical to that of an after-hours nightclub rave, that brought me to a -50 degree temperature difference, rain, and rushed, runny-nosed New-Yorkers.
As I snuggle up to write this in a newly unpacked fall sweater and faux fur, whilst sipping my beloved and greatly missed cup of New York coffee (PSL’s just do not cut it – sorry), I can still smell what’s left of that beachy breeze in my hair. I can almost still taste the salt. I am fighting the inevitable though, as tonight I’ll need to shampoo it all away. This fall, I may not have real beach-produced waves, but this city girl won’t let matters of geography stand in the way:
- Step 1: Starting on air-dried or blow-dried hair, draw large sections forward to wrap around your iron or preferably, wand.
- Step 2: While wrapping these sections, remember to start the curl a couple inches from the root and also, hold on to the ends to keep them safe from the heat.
- Step 3: If using an iron, upon completion of entire head, run it through the lengths of the hair to relax the curl into a wave.
- Step 4: Spray with your favorite hair product. (Keep an eye out for some of mine in a future post!)
- Step 5: Finger through / shake up hair for an effortless appearance, and have everyone wondering if you, too, just came from a Cali vacation.
