## Title: A Guide to Achieving Beach Waves and a Chic Outfit Roundup

In the realm of personal style and beauty, we delve into two distinct topics this week. First, we explore a step-by-step guide on how to achieve effortless beach waves using a flat iron, and second, we present a curated collection of fashion finds that will elevate your summer wardrobe.

### Achieving Beach Waves with a Flat Iron

**Materials Needed:** - **Flat Iron:** Preferably with wider plates for easier curling. - **Thermal Protection Spray:** To prevent damage to your hair. - **Sea Salt Spray (optional):** Adds texture and helps achieve beachy waves.

Following these simple steps, you can create a natural, beachy wave look at home:

1. **Prep Your Hair:** - Wash and condition your hair as usual. - Towel-dry until your hair is damp but not soaking. - Apply a thermal protection spray to prevent heat damage.

2. **Add Texture:** - Use a sea salt spray to add texture and volume to your hair. This helps achieve a beachy, undone look.

3. **Section Your Hair:** - Divide your hair into sections depending on how many waves you want and how thick your hair is.

4. **Create Waves:** - Clamp a small section of hair into the flat iron, with the plates facing vertically. - Twist the iron away from your face to create a wave. Hold for a few seconds. - Release the iron and let the wave cool. Repeat for the rest of your hair. - Alternatively, you can use a technique called "twist and wrap" where you twist the hair while wrapping it around the barrel of a curling iron (if you have one).

5. **Roughen the Waves:** - Once you've done all your hair, gently run your fingers through the waves to loosen them and create a more natural, beachy look. - Use a texturizing spray if needed to enhance the texture.

6. **Finish with a Light Hold Spray:** - Set your style with a light hold spray to keep the waves in place without making them too stiff.

**Tips:** - Use a lower heat setting if you have fine or damaged hair to prevent further damage. - Practice makes perfect; it might take a few tries to get the hang of it.
