This month’s Shine Beauty Guru assignment is:
What is your best summer beauty secret? Name one!
WHAT!?!? No way! Not possible! Too many choices! Well, maybe if I try!
hmm, ok I think I’ve got one!
My biggest beauty problem in the summer is my hair! I have little desire to dry and fix it. READ: use any kind of heated tool! While air-dryed hair sometimes dries nicely, mostly it just goes crazy!
ENTER: Frederic Fekkai Limited Edition Marine Summer Hair + Aquanutrients Beach Waves
Beach Waves for short!
It’s the key for easy summer hairstyles, whether you pull it in a pony, half back, twist it, braid it, or leave it down!
My favorite way to use it: I let my hair dry overnight then in the morning I’m ready to start styling. I flip my head over spritzing a few sprays of shine spray all over. I flip my head back up and section into 4 layers (bottom, middle, top right of part, top left of part). On each layer I spritz on a few sprays of BEACH WAVES then finger scrunch all over layer. After I’ve completely finished I scrunch a few more times.
Voila—5 minute hair! 
If I’m in a rush, I’ll usually stop here but if not, I can take a little more time and make softer waves with a curling iron or a wave iron. This makes a dressy ’do a lot easier. (Like Kate Hudson and Jessica Beil!) It’s such a beautiful style that looks completely effortless and almost is!
One of the best things, it does exactly what it says: “Marine waters create surf-sexy texture, and sea kelp hydrates and blocks moisture loss for sexy, tousled waves, anytime and anywhere. UV shield helps prevent fading.” [Frederic Fekkai]
Beach waves can also be used before/after the pool. Helps make a cute hairstyle after getting wet in the pool! And the UV protection makes NO DYE JULY just a little bit easier.
While it’s not the cheapest at $23.00, I’ll probably get 2 summers out of it which makes it worth it! I don’t think I could survive my horrible hair days without this little summer beauty secret.
