The ‘Mother’ of All Gift Guides
I think we can all agree that moms are the unsung heroes who will drop everything to care for their loved ones. Everyone deserves some self-care and moms are no different. With Mother’s Day around the corner, give the gift of beautiful and easy hair to make your mom look like the rockstar she is each and every day.
Smooth Beachy Waves
Help get your mom ready for a well-deserved night out using our Beachwaver B1 Pink Sunset! Think “B” for beginner as this tool has basic functions and not too many buttons making it easy to pick up and start curling. It includes three pre-set heat settings ranging from 290° to 410° (think of the three buttons as Low- Medium- High) as well as two arrow buttons to determine left and right rotation. For a great deal and an amazing way to complete the look, shop our Mother’s Day Bundle that includes the B1 Pink Sunset, Keep It Calm Cream, and Pink Darby Clips. Keep It Calm is a smoothing cream that helps to tame frizz and is infused with our HIx Bond Multiplier to help strengthen and add shine.
Step 1: Start by using a Darby Clip to section your hair from top to bottom, and then again down the middle for easier access to the back of your head.
Step 2: Prep your hair with some Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hairspray.
Step 3: Create loose beachwaves by curling away from your face with the Beachwaver B1. Once the curls are cool to the touch, break them up with your fingers or a wide tooth comb to add texture.
Step 4: Squeeze a dot of Keep It Calm Cream and emulsify it in the palm of your hand. Gently run the product through your hair starting at the bottom and working your way up.
Frizz-Free Braid
Is your mom always on the go in need of a quick style? Just because she needs to move fast, does not mean that she has to have flyaway while doing it. She can create fabulous up-dos and braids with Braid Balm. This braid prep product creates a smoothing effect from root to end while also strengthening your hair.
Step 1: To create a quick and easy braid, start by adding some Braid Balm Pre-Braid Prep and splitting the hair into three parts.
Step 2: Bring the left side over the middle, then the right side over the middle. This will create a simple 3-strand braid. Continue the pattern “left over the middle, right over the middle” all the way down.
Step 3: After the braid is complete, pancake each edge to increase volume and texture.
Bombshell Blowout
Give your mom an easy post-shower hair care routine by gifting her our new Blow Brush. This 4-in-1 tool is great for anyone that struggles with frizz or drying their hair. The oval nozzle helps to gently diffuse air flow, the diffuser helps to stimulate natural drying while reducing frizz (great for someone with curly hair), the round brush has a ceramic barrel to create a shiny blowout finish, and the smoothing brush helps to straighten while drying and tam flyaways. Not only is this tool fit for all types of hair, but it is also very easy to control making the salon-style blowout procedure easy to do from the comfort of your home. Pair this with our Dream Big Volumizing Mousse to add some epic volume.
If your mom prefers a styling tool instead but is still looking for the blowout look, our Beachwaver S1.25 might be the tool for her! This is our largest barrel size making it ideal for a blowout style. With automatic rotation paired with a ceramic barrel, your mom can have glam waves in minutes!
Step 1: Start by using a Darby Clip to section your hair from top to bottom, and then again down the middle for easier access to the back of your head.
Step 2: Prep your hair with some Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hairspray.
Step 3: Start with a 1-inch section of hair from the back, insert your hair in the clamp leaving about an inch out, rotate, and release the clamp. Repeat this throughout the sections.
Step 4: Once the hair has completely cooled, spray the On Set Pro Brush with Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hairspray and brush through all of the curls. You should see the hair begin to come together into a glamorous wave pattern.
Step 5: Apply the Shine Bright Vegan Keratin + Argan Serum to the middle through the ends of the hair for a gorgeous finish!
Tip: To add more volume to the root, use Second Chance Dry Shampoo close to the root throughout sections of the hair. This is also a great product to use when it comes to refreshing your look.
Shiny & Sleek
For a quick and easy sleek style, our Coast Pro is a great gift this Mother’s Day! The Coast Pro has ceramic plates that glide gently over the hair and evenly distribute heat to create a smooth flat-ironed look. This professional-grade flat iron heats up to 450° in about 15 seconds! Perfect for all different hair types. To add a little bit more shine, pair this tool with our Shine Squad Shine Spray! This spray contains our HIx Bond Multiplier to strengthen your hair while adding a lightweight shiny coat.
Step 1: Section your hair using the Darby Clip.
Step 2: Prep the hair by spraying the section with Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hairspray and brushing through with the Prep Brush to smooth and remove any tangles.
Step 3: Straighten about a 1-inch section of hair by using the Prep Brush to separate and lift the strands while following it with the Coast Pro to flatten the hair starting from root to end. Repeat this through each section.
Step 4: Add shine by spraying Shine Squad on the hair to evenly distribute shine.
Tip: To create more volume at the root, create more of an arch-like motion when starting to flat iron at the root.
