Long weekends are perfect for lazy days.  Lazy days however doesn’t mean you have too look lazy.  One of my favorite looks for a laid back look with minimal effort but maximum style is beach waves in the hair and a simple sun dress.

To get beach waves I start with a volumizing shampoo, because I’ll be doing this style on wet hair I need a little extra oomph so it doesn’t lay too flat at the roots.  My pick of late is the new Avon Ultimate Volume which is on promo for $2.99!  I follow up with the matching conditioner (also only $2.99 right now!)

After washed and combed through I let it air dry while I get ready.  Once its not soaking wet but damp I spray mark. That’s Beachy Texturizing Spray ($9) all over.  I use my hands and scrunch to create more defined waves.  And that’s it!  Easy, minimal effort and maximum style!

All I need to do is add on my favorite sundress, like this mark. Change Your Ways Dress ($36) (last seen dressed up here!).  Its printed skirt resembling beach waves matches this style perfectly!  Add on my favorite necklace as of late, the mark. Sail Away Duo Charm Necklace ($20) and I’ve got a look that’s easy and chic and ready in no time!

This long weekend I’ll be hitting up some sales, relaxing by the pool and spending Memorial Day at the lake.  I think I have and look that will work for whatever the long weekend brings me.

You can see how much I love my beach waves as you’ve seen them here, and here !
