Create Effortless,
Beautiful Boho Waves at Home
Ah, the beautiful bohemian life. From the runway to the festival field, natural looking waves
are the perfect way to capture laid-back summer vibes. Even if sunny blue skies seem a
world away, you can inject carefree boho style into your everyday look with some gorgeous
natural waves.
There is one very big secret to natural boho waves - texture. Forget a sleek and silky mane,
boho waves are tousled and messy. If you have super-straight locks, your hair routine
needs to add some serious texture to your strands before you begin to style.
Luckily for us, professional hair stylist Jeanie Syfu has a bagful of tips on how to expertly
fake that sun-and-salt texture. So you can look like you’ve just strolled back from holiday—
every day.
Jeanie uses the TRESemmé Smooth and Shine Collection to perfect a long-lasting boho
look, which will keep you feeling hair confident from day to night. Here’s how to create
carefree-looking waves from the comfort of your own home – in just 5 easy steps.
Tools needed to achieve the look: Blow dryer, medium-size round brush, curling wand and
relaxed vibes.
STEP 1: Prep your hair for styling. Wash it with lightweight Smooth and Shine Shampoo for
a thorough cleanse. Then rinse. Apply the conditioner from mid-shaft to the ends, combing
through from root to tips. Leave 2-3 minutes for the formulation to help moisturize and add
texture to your hair, then rinse well.
STEP 2: With damp hair, we’re ready to begin styling. Blot away any excess water from
your hair.
STEP 3: Flip your hair over (head down) and roughly blow-dry your hair on high heat,
combing through with your fingers. Now take the round brush and fully dry your hair, without
making a parting. Tip: A ceramic or metal brush will help your hair to hold the volume from
the dryer better.
STEP 4: Section your hair and, holding the curling wand vertically, wrap each section round
the barrel. Make sure that you’re wrapping away from your face.
Tip: As you curl each section round the barrel, flick your wrist. This makes the waves look
more natural.
STEP 5: Once you’ve finished the last section, rake your fingers through the curls (don’t
use a brush). Finish with a light mist of Tresemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray.
And that’s your holiday/weekend/festival look done, you beautiful bohemian, you!
