You don’t have to live near the beach to rock lived-in beach waves. It doesn’t even have to be summertime because this is a look that’s always in fashion – no matter what the season. While the style may look undone, it takes a bit of effort to execute the wavy, tousled look. So, we know you’ll want to grab your curling iron and a few crucial styling products from NAK Hair.
The nature-first haircare brand, which debuted in Australia in 2003 to reflect the cool, easygoing Aussie culture, is now available to North American salon professionals and consumers.
NAK Hair is an Australian-made and owned company that proudly embodies a down-to-earth culture. Its hair care journey began in 2003, driven by the vision to create exclusive salon products that mirror its Natural Australian Kulture.
With a deep understanding of salon life and a passion for crafting products inspired by the Australian lifestyle, NAK Hair stands as an authentic advocate for salons. Its product collections feature Natural Vegan ingredients, Luxe Botanicals and Pure Essential Oils, all carefully crafted to provide hair rituals that honor the delicate nature of both hair and skin.
Samantha Amoroso, a stylist at LOKA Beauty Studio in Wilmington, Delaware, shares her tips to help you achieve the soft, loose waves with slightly straighter ends.
1. First, spray NAK Hair Thermal Shield (5.29 oz. / $27.95) on dry hair to create a thermal shield that protects hair from the heat of the curling iron. Infused with vitamin B5 and styling copolymers, it also prevents frizz and flyaways.
2. Next, take 1-inch sections and use your curling iron to curl the hair back away from the face. When dropping the curl, run the iron through the ends to give them a slightly
straighter look.
3. Allow curls to cool for two minutes before running the ORI LAB Crescent Comb ($24.95) through the hair. It’s a sleek, innovative tool that’s ergonomically designed to glide effortlessly through the hair.
4. Now apply two pumps of NAK Hair Nourish Hair Oil (3.38oz / $29.90) into the palms of your hands. Rub them together and apply the oil to the mid-shaft
and ends, smoothing the hair in a downward direction. The lightweight formula won’t weigh hair down and is infused with natural oils, vitamins and nutrients like coconut oil, a deeply penetrating natural emollient, and sea buckthorn oil that penetrates each layer to replenish dry and damaged hair with natural lipids that create a healthy sheen.
5. Finish with NAK Hair Done and Dusted (.35 oz. / $27.95), a weightless styling powder designed for strong grip and matte texture. Shake gently before use and sprinkle onto dry hair at the part where the powder particles will create volume at the roots. If desired, backcomb hair slightly for extra lift and then work the product through the hair, manipulating the style into place.
