The promise

The beach style, the soft undulations are carved ed by wind and salt water, is furiously envy. The one that makes us dream? Gisèle Bundchen and her wavy, sexy hair.
A look that we like because, on holiday, it is easy to live and gives us this little indefinable charm. No need to spend hours heading into a bucket of salt water to get this effect. There is more glam ': the Beach Waves at the hairdresser.

The chemical mechanics are the same as for a smoothing: temporarily soften the fiber so that the hairdresser changes its shape and draws curls and ripples. Durable (up to 8 weeks), ultra short break and affordable (70 €).

An attractive technique after the wave of permanents frozen in the 90s, clearly passed from fashion and practically more practiced.

How d e rolls Beach Waves?

While the classical permanent required 2 successive chemical transformations and several pause times, the protocol devised by L'Oréal Professionnel shortens the durations.

The 5 steps :
- Clarifying and pre-drying shampoo.
- Separation of hair with "wavers" (see visual below), a new generation of curlers. While we needed a quarantine for a classic permanent, Beach Waves only requires 4 to 8. It is up to the hairdresser to judge according to the desired ripple and the length of our hair.
Application of the "reducing lotion": its formulation and its active ingredients enable the simultaneous transformation and reconstruction of the fiber. The treatment acts for 10 and 15 minutes of pause under a plastic film before rinsing.
- Application of the fixing lotion which memorizes the ripple. This time, no need to pause, we file directly to the rinse tank.

Home maintenance required !

To keep her hair of surfer and maintain the movement, we leave again with the perfect kit of the " beach waveuse " : ad hoc spray (composed of salted water and glycerine), hair net and notched comb to comb without stretching nor break the undulations. A routine in theory to adopt after every shampoo! To have the hair of Gisèle Bundchen, it requires work!

Count ten minutes and 5 steps :
- Pre-dry and untangle with the comb
- Divide the lengths and twist in 4 or 6 sections (our advice: keep them with elastics or tweezers)
- Place the net to avoid frizz on the head
- Dry with hot air and then with cold air (a pro tip to print the ripple)
- Once the lengths are released, they are sprayed with Spray Beach Waves Tecni.ART, a texturizing haze that creates undulations. Do not hesitate to stylize by hand. Assets

First rate. Few hairdressing services are available for only a suggested price of € 70 ... Knowing that the Beach Waves can last 8 weeks and that the housekeeping kit is included.

And then of course, there is style. For 2 seasons, the natural wavy ripple is the look of summer that makes us want ... But it requires a good styling mastery. Gone are the catches of the head. This is what you like on vacation for a change of style without committing definitely.

His limits

A muscular formulation that damages already weakened hair. If theoretically the hairdresser does a capillary state of our lengths, we advise against those who have the hair rough, dry and mistreated by the colors or the tye & die to make a Beach Waves. If you really want to try this new look, cut and heal first.

And then there's housekeeping. If on weekends and holidays, time does not fail us, difficult to be rigorous on mornings during the week. Looks like Kristen Dunst, muse L'Oréal Professional for the Beach Waves is not necessarily priceless ... But absolutely demands time! At least for 8 weeks.

The service Beach Waves can be realized exclusively in L'Oréal Professional salons from 70 € the package for the protocol home care kit.
