Relaxed Coastal Waves with Feathered Perimeter
How to Make
The relaxed coastal waves cut features a shoulder-grazing baseline paired with soft, lived-in S-waves and feathered ends that evoke a sun-kissed, beachy atmosphere. This design incorporates invisible interior layers that remove bulk from dense wave pockets, allowing natural waves to form without creating an unflattering triangular silhouette. The feathered perimeter allows the ends to flip and curve softly over the collarbones, creating an effortless, casual aesthetic that flatters relaxed wardrobes. It is an exceptional option for naturally wavy or lightly permed hair, working in harmony with organic strand movement rather than fighting against daily humidity.
Spray clean, damp hair thoroughly with a texturizing sea salt spray and allow it to air-dry naturally to seventy percent capacity. For the remaining moisture, attach a deep bowl diffuser to your hair dryer, cupping sections of hair on low heat and medium airflow to encourage natural wave clumping without frizz. Take a one-and-a-half-inch curling wand and wrap random vertical sections around the barrel for three seconds, leaving the roots and the bottom two inches uncurled to create natural, casual bends. Alternate the wrapping direction of each section to prevent the hair from grouping into a single uniform wave pattern. Once cooled, rake your fingers through the waves to break up the texture, misting with a lightweight glossing spray for healthy shine.
