How to Look Like a Boho Babe Part I: The Hair


   A boho babe can't be bohemian without rocking wavy hair! As much as I'd ♥ to hit the salon everyday, most of us, myself included, don't have the resources or time to do so! So here're some tips to help you create perfect boho waves without a trip to the salon.

   Prep:


   The key to beautiful boho waves is minimal frizz, which can be especially hard for those of us living in humid climates. To keep frizz at bay, make sure your hair is as moisturized as possible!! A great way to do this is by using deep-conditioners. Great deep conditioners that I've used include Avon Straight & Sleek Smoothing Cream & Dove Intense Repair Treatment Mask. These'll keep your hair healthy, shiny & frizz-free!!!

   Notes:

   1. If you've color-treated hair, don't use any products containing sea salt! Products with this ingredient will make your hair color fade much quicker.

   2. We all have different hair!! I've tried to outline products that'll work for most hair types, but if you're curious about a product that I didn't recommend for your hair type, make sure to check review sites like makeupalley.com for other reviews.

   The products:

   1 & 2. Herbal Essences' Tousle me Softly Mousse for Easy Tousling & Tousle me Softly Flexible Hold Hairspray


   Best for-

   Mousse for Easy Tousling: Fine-Medium hair with some wave that needs definition.

   Flexible Hold Hair Spray: Medium-Thick hair with some wave that needs definition.

   I've to say, having longish & thick hair, this mousse didn't provide enough definition for me. This'd probably work for those of you with thinner hair!!! However, its sister, Hair Spray, gave me some amazing, frizz-free, defined waves.

   To use-

   Apply as much product as you need, flip hair over & scrunch. Let air dry & voila!!

   3. Oriflame HairX Styling Gloss Booster Spray


   Best for-

   Any hair type that wants serious bohemian waves.

   This product works seriously well. A few spritzes of this all over your hair & your hair'll transform into a bohemian mane. Be warned though, this is a product that works almost 100% better when used with heat, so it might take more effort to achieve perfect locks!!

   To use-

   Spray a liberal amount from root to ends, flip hair upside-down & blow dry.

  3. Luckily, my hair does that without me even trying!! The blessings of naturally wavy hair, I guess.
