Summer is going strong, at least for a few more weeks, and this year’s standout cool girl style that nearly every celeb is wearing is nirvana waves, the grungy take on the season’s favorite beach waves. Think undone, unfussy, irregular waves with texture, and you get the idea. Nirvana waves are a laid back cross between French girl bedhead hair and the beach waves we have all been wearing for years now. The bonus is that it works on every length and texture whether hair is curly or straight, fine, layered, or blunt cut. Nirvana waves for everyone! This forgiving (overheated, over processed, missed that last salon visit, I don’t know what to do with my hair) look is versatile and easy to do, and we have pro tips to recreate this look for ourselves:
1. Start with a foam or texturizing product applied to damp hair before finishing the drying process.
2. Use a flat iron rather than a curl bar, and create waves by alternating directions: don’t be precise.
3. Style extensions ahead of time before applying them using the same care and products as your natural hair for extra length, volume and dimension.
4. Separate waves with your fingers rather than a brush for the perfect undone look.
Nirvana waves work with hair’s natural texture, and look just as great worn curly or loose, wet look or blown out. It’s more about attitude - we can get behind that. Check out these nirvana waves and give summer’s hottest style a spin for yourself:
