“How to get the best beach hair? Before heading to the shore, spray heat protector in your hair and twist it into a bun on the top of your head. When you leave the beach, take your hair down and you have beautiful waves for the evening.”

- Viola, Helsinki

PS. We are currently using Aveda’s heat protector. Which one do you love?
