We Tried It: Beachy waves to sport all fall


 
Summer’s almost over, sadly, and we’re totally bummed to ditch the sun, sand and sea for serious studying at school. But one of the best parts of the beach you can drag out a bit longer? The naturally undone yet absolutely gorgeous waves ya get by splashing in the sea.

So when we heard about Pravana’s The Beach Wave Control Mist, we had to give it a go. Pravana’s new product claims to produce the same effortless effect with just a spritz, plus added sun protection as a sweet bonus – we crossed our fingers and hoped for boardwalk locks.

...And we weren’t disappointed!  The secret is in the natural ingredients -- a formula of wheat, silk and keratin amino acids adds flexibility (read: no hairspray helmet head!). We adored how easy it was to spray, tousle and go. Voila! Instant beach babe.

This is one beach spray we’ll hold onto long past Labor Day.

MOD! I am African American, so that means I have kinky hair. Wherever I look, I can't find any hair tips or styles that work for me. I love GL but I can't do any of the things here. I don't feel comfortable in my natural hair, so my mom takes me to the salon to get "extensions" but they aren't really, they're just braids. I hate how they are only in individual strands and not just all together and "flowy" like someone who's not African American's hair might be. I've always wanted a weave, but my mom won't let me get one!!! She has one and even my 14 year old cousin got one! And she's only a year older than me!! I know we are supposed to be happy with how we look, and for the most part, i am, but out of my thighs, stomach and hair, my hair is the biggest issue. My mom sometimes perms my hair, but it turns kinky after 2 days and it takes forever to do in the morning. When I am older, for sure I am going to get a weave, but what can I do now???

 

Hey girly, I'm Black too and have the same textured hair, so I can understand. Since all you can get is braids right now, don't get them braided all the way. There are individuals you can get where they only braid a little bit of your hair so the bottom is out, and it looks like weave. Check out these links and take pics into your hairdresser so they'll do your hair the way you want. I used to get braids when I was younger, and they really helped my hair grow. After my mom took my braids out, my hair was really long, thick and healthy. So once you get older you probably won't need a weave. Hope this helps!!!! Smile Smile

I need help with my hair. It's very thick and curly and I have a lot of split ends because i straighten it so much and i need help figuring out how to tame it without spending lots of money on products. Any advise?

Mod! I have split ends. What can I do for them? Thanks!!

 

Hey chicky, it's best to head to your salon to get them clipped. The only way for your hair to grow is to cut your split ends. Smile Smile
