Sleep-in Ponytail Beachy Waves Hair Tutorial
This tutorial has been sponsored by IGK Hair. Today I’m going to show you how to achieve this pretty ‘Sleep-in Ponytail Beachy Wave’ hair tutorial and how to maintain the style for up to 3 days using some of my favourite products! This can be a completely heatless hairstyle, simply forgo the hairdryer and allow your hair to dry naturally until it’s 10% damp. * For thicker hair – you can create two braids at the top of your head instead of one. This will help to create more waves.
hey guys so I recently uploaded this
photo to my Instagram account and loads
of you requested a hair tutorial on how
to achieve this kind of beachy wave and
I’m gonna talk you through the products
that I’ve used I’ve washed my hair using
the Kerastase blonde
absolu which has been designed to
eradicate that brassy tone to any
blondes in your hair and if you’ve
watched my haircare videos you’ll know
that I always shampoo my hair twice and
then condition it the next product I
always go in with is my red can extreme
anti snap as you can see I’ve got very
long hair so looking after it for me is
super important and because I do have
bleach in my hair I want to look after
it the best I can this is a great
product for damaged and distressed here
this also has heat protection in it
because I usually blow dry my hair
rather than waiting for it to air dry so
this is a great product to put in before
I use my hair dryer the next set of
products I’m going to use have been
sponsored by our GK it was actually
after using this particular product
which is my hero product from my GK that
I contacted them about a collaboration
this is called thirsty girl and it’s a
coconut milk leave-in conditioner since
I’ve been trying this I’ve absolutely
loved how my hair smells how it feels
it’s been absolutely brilliant and this
has a hyaluronic acid technology to lock
in moisture and reduce frizz and as you
can see it could be quite liberal with
this product it really helps to keep
that frizz under control and what I love
most about igk in general is that they
are cruelty free they’re vegan friendly
there’s no sulfates no parabens and
their products are gluten free so I’m
getting with my faithful tangle teezer
brush this one is a Denman brush and
it’s my favorite for getting free
tangles and as you can see having used
my thirsty girl leaving conditioner my
hair is an absolute dream to come
through you want to make sure that your
hair is about 90% dry so just a little
bit damp like ever-so-slightly if it’s
too damp it’s gonna be dumped in the
morning my hair isn’t naturally quite
wavy but my hairline tends to dry a
little bit frizzy so my tip is to use a
hairdryer and smooth the cuticles out
with a metal round brush this way I know
that the front of my hair when I take my
player in the morning is gonna be super
smooth and I’m not gonna have any
flyaways this can be a completely
heatless look you don’t have to use a
hairdryer you can leave your hair to dry
naturally but make sure you catch it at
about 90% dry so I’m just smoothing my
fringe out once that’s called in the
brush I take that out
and then this is the only section it’s
going to be left at the Platte the two
side sections that I’ve smoothed out
will be pulled into the braid so I just
leave the rest of my hair to dry until
it’s about 90% which is about now as you
can see the majority of it looks dry but
to feel it does feel slightly cool where
it is still a little bit damp so if like
me you’re leaving your fringe art you
can just pin that to the side or tuck it
behind your ear
and then you want to flip your hair over
and pull it into a ponytail that
basically sits on the very top of your
head you’re then gonna separate this
into free individual sections and create
a regular three strand braid you don’t
want to pull it super tight at the room
we do want a little bit of a baggy root
because this was gonna create volume if
you tie it too tight your hair’s gonna
be flat on top when you take your braids
out so then you just want to continue
that all the way down to the end and you
want to leave about an inch and a half
out at the bottom otherwise it’s gonna
be super crinkly and probably a little
bit fuzzy so as I say leave a little bit
out and then tie that off with an
elastic so this is what you should look
like your plat should start at the top
of your head your roots should be
slightly baggy the back of your hair
will back a little bit but don’t worry
you’re not going out anywhere you’re now
going to begin to sleep okay so it’s now
the morning I have slept on my hair as
you can see it’s looking a tiny bit
disheveled but still relatively neat
considering so I’m gonna remove the
elastic band and I’m going to gently
unravel the braid you want to do this
carefully because you don’t want to make
your hair frizzy you just want to part
it gently and once it’s completely
unraveled we’re just gonna put our
fingers into the root and give it a
gentle shake and you should have
something that looks similar to this now
if your hair isn’t actually quite thin
or you want to add a little bit more
texture to your heads make sure that
these beautiful beachy waves don’t fall
flat I’m gonna use the igk beach club
volumizing texture spray this is
literally holiday in a bottle it smells
incredible all of their products do but
what’s great about this is it’s a bit
like a salt spray but it doesn’t have
any salt in it and it just adds texture
to your hair it’s very weightless it
locks in moisture and it helps to add
volume and it just keeps your kind of
beachy wave seperated which makes them
look really beautiful and almost
windswept but without that frizziness I
just love it I’m now going to show you
some tips on maintaining this look for
the next two days so by day two your
hair comes
look a little bit frizzy so when I’m
wearing my hair like this I’ve been
reaching for the rgk mistress antifreeze
leave-in conditioner and I’ve been
combining it with the igk mixed feelings
which are leaving toning drops for those
of you with blonde hair so you simply
add two to four drops to the balm mix it
to give it two you’ve got a really
subtle violet shade and then you just
work that through the lemp’s of your
hair the ball has a mix of coconut shea
butter and argan oil as you can imagine
it smells incredible but it also makes
your hair feel so soft and super shiny
it allows your hair to bounce back into
that really beautiful beachy wave and
it’s completely smoothed out all those
flyaways so by day free your hair is
gonna be feeling pretty flat we’ve been
sleeping on it so it’s inevitable and
your hair starts to lift a little bit on
the greasy side so I’m gonna blast the
roots with this product called first
class also by GK and this is a heavy
duty charcoal detox dry shampoo the
charcoal powder helps to absorb oil and
it’s also infused with white tea powder
to soothe and jump in here this is
definitely one of the most volumizing
dry shampoos I’ve ever used
once you’ve sprayed the root you need to
wait 30 seconds and then get your
fingers in there and give you here a bit
el-sheikh I’d previously been used in
the other products of my own accord but
this was the product that I GK actually
recommended and I said I wanted to
create a tutorial and they said this is
a great one for volume and as you can
see they’re not wrong my hair no longer
looks flat and it lasts all day as I
mentioned it is a heavy duty jumper but
it is for all hair types to tame the mid
limps and the ends I’m going back in
with a small amount of the mistress bun
and you can see that I’ve used this two
days on the trot and it’s not made my
hair look greasy at all there’s no
visible product build-up I thought I’d
show you a super quick update if you’re
fed up with wearing your hair down by
day three a voluminous ponytail works a
treat so I’ve whipped my hair up into a
ponytail and now I’m using a bungee cord
to tie my hair off sometimes if you use
a toggle you lose volume at the root–so
this is a great way to get your hair up
without losing the volume then I take a
strand of my own hair from the back of
my ponytail and I wrap that around the
bungee just to disguise it then going
back in with my beach club volumizing
texture spray I’m separating the
ponytail and just blasting that through
to create some volume and texture to
create a really big beachy ponytail and
that completes my hair tutorial I hope
