What’s in? “Natural hair textures and styles that give off that cool ‘I woke up like this’ vibe,” Mane Addicts’ Justine Marjan, who works with stars like Lily Aldridge and the Kardashians, tells Life & Style. “It’s much softer and more effortless than the beach waves we’ve seen in seasons past.” To get the look, Marjan suggests prepping damp hair with mousse or sea salt spray “to create a piecey texture.” Then create the bend with a straightening iron. “You can either braid large sections of hair and run the flat iron over them, letting the hair cool before releasing the braid,” explains Marjan, “or use the iron to create bevels or undulations in the hair.” The key?
