A triple barrel curling iron is the perfect tool for achieving compact and abundant waves. You can also attain the style by curling different sections of your hair in varying directions and brushing them out. For a more gentle approach, let your natural curls out or leave your hair in braids overnight.<cite>@aimeejohnson</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Coastal Accents - You’ve got thingamabobs? Well, now’s the time to put them to use. Make use of clamps, pins, clips, hair bands, and beads. Dress up your hair with accessories that echo your most desired underwater treasures. <cite>SHOP Jennifer Behr</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Coastal Accents<cite>@avreyovard</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Wet Look - Make it seem like you stepped out of the sea with a sleek and sensational wet hair look. This is the perfect pair for a siren-eye makeup look to emulate the appearance of a mythical sea-nymph.<cite>@justmayhere</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Vivid Highlights - The summer season calls for sun-kissed tresses. Vibrant highlights are a compelling way to infuse dimension into your hair, giving you the allure of an enchanting ocean goddess. <cite>@lauraceliav</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Blending Braids - Capture the feel of effortless, salty beach hair. Blend in a few loose baby braids into your hair. The easiest way to do this is by adding braids to the front sections of your hair or making them throughout the crown of your head. Incorporate little braids into your updo for an ethereal look.<cite>Tiktok: wolfshayley</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Bubble &amp; Fishtail Braids - Re-create a sleek braided ponytail using these elements of the ocean. This style works well especially for longer hair, but you can place these braids on smaller sections of your hair, as shown in the previous style.<cite>@jeanlouisedavid_meaux</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Bubble &amp; Fishtail Braids<cite>@laurenladnier</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Multiple Braided Ponytail - A simple yet fresh ensemble.
