Curly Shag

Create a little edge with your wavy mane, and with this case in particular, embrace the frizz just a tad bit, as this look can be defined as a more rebellious take on the beach wave. Use a serum or a pomade while hair is damp to achieve this look. Scrunch strands with your hands to infuse product in locks and help define the wave, then let hair air dry and tease for added texture. Finish off with an anti-humidity product like Suave Luxe Style Infusion Anti-Humidity Spray to prevent frizz.

Low Ponytail

Showcase your face and keep your hair classy with the updated take on the curly ponytail, a hairstyle that’s great for any occasion. Using a blowdryer with a diffuser and Suave Luxe Style Infusion Volumizing Weightless Blow Dry Spray, forgo a sleek patted-down look and add just a little height to the roots by concentrating air in that area. If you want to add a part, from hairline to crown, part hair down the center and gather each side into one low ponytail at your nape, secure with a hair tie and tease your curls with your fingers to create texture.
