The summer months are great for going out and enjoying your time with friends and family, but one thing you have to keep in mind is how you're going to style your hair. For boating, running, heading to wineries or enjoying your time at a local event, you're going to want a comfortable style that is easy to maintain. 

Waves are the perfect solution because they're easy to do and can even be put in while you sleep overnight. You don't need heat for boho waves (also known as beach waves), either, so you can protect your hair against becoming dry and brittle. 

How do you create the perfect summer waves?

The easiest way to make the perfect summer waves is to start with a simple braid or pair of braids. Here's what you should do.

Option 1

1. Wash your hair.
2. Towel dry your hair and add in some anti-frizz or control serum.
3. While your hair is damp (nearly dry), add either one or two French braids to your hair. 
4. Use a soft elastic, like one made from hose-like material, to tie the ends of the hair and avoid a crease.
5. Wrap your hair in a silk towel and sleep on it.
6. Release your hair the next morning for beautiful waves that require minimal styling. You can add sea salt texture spray if you want your hair to look a little more tousled in the morning.

Option 2

1. If you don't want to sleep on your hair when it's wet, consider using a spray bottle to lightly dampen your hair rather than starting with freshly washed hair.
2. Spritz on a layer of hairspray, or run a small amount of mousse through your hair.
3. Braid your hair like in Option 1.
4. Allow it time to dry (you can use a hairdryer with a diffuser for this step if you are short on time).
5. Then, release your hair and spritz it with frizz control or shine control products.
