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.
