swellstyleblog:

I often get asked how I get my beachy hair, so here it is:
- Option 1: dive into the ocean, add a dab of conditioner while you sit in the sun, rinse

But because not every day is a beach day (insert sad face here)…

- Option 2:
Get a spray bottle and mix together 2 cups of warm water, and a tablespoon each of sea salt and coconut oil. Spray this on wet hair. Section off hair in as many pieces as you have patience for, then twist each section. Then let it dry and shake it out. That’s it. Really.
Hint: The less you heat style your hair, the healthier it will be, and the better this will start looking!

I first heard Imogen Heap when a college friend of mine turned me onto her when we were freshmen. I am ashamed to admit that I sort of forgot about ol’ Imogen - until Pandora brought her back into my life. Thank you, Pandora, for occasionally ignoring my strict preferences and forcing me to listen to new music! Loving this song, even though I’m sure it’s not new to most people!
