Hair Olivia Wilde Beachy Waves
- To create Olivia's soft beach waves, I began by applying Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment through the hair before drying. For the bang area, I used a large paddle brush to create a sleek finish. Next, I created 3 sections (sides and nape) for total control. Starting at the nape area, I took 2" sections and wrapping them around the inside of a large barrel curling iron and securing with pins. After curling the entire head and allowing the sections to cool, I removed the pins allowing the curls to fall naturally. To finish, I applied an additional amount of Pequi Oil to my hands and gently brushed the curls out using my fingers, allowing her curls to fall into a natural wave pattern. Then, I finished her style by applying additional Pequi Oil for enhanced condition, strength and shine without weighing it down.

I've been trying to get these curls on my hair FOREVER! But my hair is sooooo thin it's like it's not real. It either gets too curly of not curly enough. I'll try this one, 'caus this look is so pretty *-*

oh i love her so much! I've been wanting to get bangs but i've never had them like hers and I've heard that if I don't have a big enough forehead for it it won't look right. What do you ladies think?

My hair looks like this, save for the ombré coloring. I think this looks very pretty. Beachy waves and blunt bangs are instantly sexy to me for some reason.
