Creating Beach Hair/ Messy Waves:

1. Give your models hair a good brush through, making sure the hair is knot free.  Using a paddle brush is great for this. 
2. Take a small amount of mousse and run this through the hair using your fingers.  Mousse will give the hair extra volume, hold and a shiny "just-washed" sheen.
3. After this, spritz the hair with a sea salt texturising spray.
4. Now, scrunch the hair as it dries, you can either let hair air-dry or use a diffuser on your hair dryer.  Diffusers are attached to the end of hair dryers to protect hair from direct heat, allowing you to dry your hair without damaging it.  If using a hairdryer take small sections of hair and scrunch it into the diffuser, holding until the hair is dry.
5. Once you remove the hair from the diffuser, you should be left with a messy wave to the hair.  However, this may depend on your models hair type.
6. If you need to add extra waves to the hair, create messy curls with a curling iron. The secret is not to create perfect curls, so use a curling iron with a bigger barrel.
7. Lastly, run your fingers through hair to break up the curls. You can put a bit of shine serum on the hair also but this step is optional.

Chignon with Textured Hair:

1. To start, take your pintail comb and two sectioning grips.  First, use your comb to create a middle parting and then section the hair from behind the ear, leaving a fairly wide section either side at the front of the head.  Taking the hair left at the back, gather it at the nape of the neck and secure with a hair band. 

2. Twist the hair upwards, not too tightly and secure with kirby grips.  Using your pintail comb, shape and volumise the the hair, gently pulling outwards.  Once you have created your desired shape, secure with hair pins.

3. This style is all about a messy, un polished look.  I allowed some hair to fall around the face to create a boho chic look and made sure the chignon wasn't completely sleek at the back.
