Products needed for this look:

- 22” Double Hair Set
- Heat Protection Spray
- Dry Oil Spray
- Anti-Frizz Serum
Start by applying your clip-in extensions, Molly wears 22” Double Hair Set, however any length will work for this look dependent on the desired finish. For extra hold when clipping your set in, gently backcomb at the root and spray with Super Hold Hair Spray for extra grip, this creates an anchor for the extensions to clip onto.
All of our clip-in extensions are made from the finest quality 100% Remy double drawn human hair. This means that you can wave your extensions just as you would style your natural hair, and switch up your looks with one clip-in set! Once your clip ins are applied, take the Waver and start to style! Not confident styling your own hair? We’ll let you into a secret, the Waver is really simple and easy to use so you’ll be a hair pro in no time! Start by clamping the tool around the top of your section - take a 2-3 inch section at a time and hold for 8-10 seconds to create a deep, defined wave. The longer you hold each clamp, the tighter and more definition your beach waves will have. Repeat this and work your way down each section for an effortless mermaid mane!
Top Tip - Always apply heat protection to your hair and extensions before styling to prevent damage to your locks. Molly uses the Beauty Works Heat Protection Spray or 10-in-1 Miracle Spray. This step is even more vital when you’re in the sun as strong UV rays and high temperatures can dry out your hair, cause discolouration or breakage.
Molly’s favourite hair hack when creating this style is to flip the waver upside down to create a more defined look. This creates a smoother wave pattern at the top of each section, and is easier to follow the wave as you’re styling.
Top Tip - Create defined faceframe pieces by using the setting clips included in the Waver Kit on the front sections of the hair around the face. Insert the clips into the grooves of the wave, allowing the wave pattern to cool and set for a more defined finish.
Did you know? Just like when you curl your hair, you should always allow your waves to fully cool before combing through, to allow the style to set in place. This is key for long-lasting definition! Top Tip - Definition is key with this look, so run through your finished waves with Molly’s go-to Anti-Frizz Serum. This creates sleeker, polished waves that will stay intact for longer, whilst deeply hydrating the hair to combat dryness from being in the summer heat.
