Hair wavers have never been the sexiest tool in my hair collection. They’re bulky, a little intimidating, and give me flashbacks of the crimpers I used in middle school that made my hair look like Hillary Duff à la Lizzie McGuire. But as we're nearing the final months of summer, when every beauty trend has started to look like it washed ashore, it has reignited the appeal for me.
Ocean-core has officially made its way into every corner of my routine. My nails are covered in seashells and pearly finishes. Watercolor makeup has replaced harsh contour with hazy washes of color. And now, instead of the bouncy, perfected curls I usually reach for, I want my hair to fall in long, rippling bends that look slightly undone. Mermaid hair, essentially—but without requiring an actual dip in the sea.
