Begin your routine by washing your hair with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. This creates a frizz-free, smooth foundation that deeply nourishes dry strands. Once dry, gently separate your hair into 6-inch sections, adjusting for density, and create a loose braid for each section. Finish by spraying TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hold Level 1: Texture Hair Spray on each braid to tame flyaways and prepare for a perfectly texturized wet waves look.

The wet waves technique, particularly the braiding method, works best on shoulder-length or longer hair. This allows for sufficient length to create the loose braids that form the desired wave texture, ensuring a beautiful, cascading effect.
While a flat iron is used in this tutorial to create more defined and structured waves, you can achieve a softer, beachier texture by letting your braids air dry overnight after applying TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hold Level 1. The flat iron primarily speeds up the process and enhances wave definition.
With the application of TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hold Level 4: Extend Hair Spray, your wet waves can typically last 1-2 days, depending on your hair type and environmental factors. For extended wear, consider sleeping with your hair in a loose bun to preserve the texture overnight.
Sugar water is a simple mixture, typically one tablespoon of sugar per cup of water, used to enhance wave texture. When sprayed onto damp or styled hair and scrunched, it helps to boost natural texture and create an authentic, ocean-kissed finish, adding a subtle hold and glow.
