Key element - TEXTURE!
The main thing you need to do though to get to grips with your hair is....
PLAY!!!
The only way you can work your hair to your advantage, and to know what it's going to do when you put it in certain styles is to experiment and mess around with it. You don't have to be going anywhere, in fact to begin with the safety of you bedroom will probably be best! But every day is a fashion show, and use every morning as an excuse to show off a new style. If it's one particular style you're after, do it every day, and you'll see it evolve every time you do and probably end up finding a new one along the way. If you find something that works for you and you like, keep it, there's nothing wrong with repetition if it works!
Play around with up and down, fringe or no fringe, middle/off/side or no parting... you'll soon see which ones suit your face best.
So... the beach look
the best thing about hair and make up is there's a tutorial around every corner!
It may take a while to curl your hair, especially if it's thick. If you have the time and patience to persevere with this then great, otherwise there are ways to cut corners...
For starters you don't necessarily need to curl the whole lot, you can do the top few layers and back comb the under layers a little to add the volume underneath.
Also, there are hundreds of ways to curl your hair without heat, and you just allow it to happen overnight!
Try the no heat curl headband...
When curling your hair, no matter what method you use, alway always ruffle it up and run your fingers through it at the end, and possibly backcomb the roots a little to add volume. You can never have it too big, it might look scary but as long you keep the front tidy and cute, the minute you go outside it will drop!
This one's a funny one, even if the girl is a little strange!
Again, if you flip your head upside down and ruffle it all up and perhaps pin your fringe on the side, job done!
This one works because her hair is layered from the nape of her neck... see how much of a difference it makes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L00-u6VqRfo
All the you need to do to find some more methods is prowl youtube searching loose curls, messy curls, beach curls or anything that comes to mind!
So... now we've got the hair curly, and found a way to get it every day with less hassle, if you don't want to leave it down, what next?
The almighty plait...
No fuss, not perfect, just cute
Mix it up a bit with this one, when you split your hair into the three sections, take the middle one and loosely plait it before plaiting the whole thing, this will add texture and looks super cute especially with browns and blondes running through your hair.
Try a tidier one if that's what you're feeling...
Buns!
The messy bun is always a handy go-to, make sure you back comb the pony tail (which you shouldn't keep too tidy either!)
She's pinned the crown into cute messiness before sorting the bun!
So remember...
Play
Experiment
Do it every day!
