Embrace the soft, summery essence of Blake Lively’s classic waves. Follow these simple steps to achieve this effortless look:

1. Step 1: Begin by sectioning your hair. Apply Livon Damage Protect Serum to each section. Take smaller portions of hair and wrap them around a curling wand to create those dreamy beach waves.

   • Pro Tip: For a more relaxed look, gently wrap your hair around the wand, avoiding super tight curls.

2. Step 2: Repeat this process for all sections until your hair is beautifully tousled.

3. Step 3: Finish by spritzing a texturizing hair spray to enhance volume. Use your fingers to loosen and ruffle the waves, giving that ultimate “just-rolled-out-of-bed” charm.

Now that you’ve mastered the Lively waves, why not elevate your look with a wavy ponytail? Here’s how you can achieve this effortlessly chic style:

1. Step 1: Split your hair into two distinct sections—top and bottom. Tease the crown area for volume with a small section of hair.

2. Step 2: Create a side part and gather your hair into a mid-height ponytail, leaving it relaxed to enhance the lift at the crown. Secure with a hair tie.

3. Step 3: Loosen a few front strands, twirling them lightly with your fingers. This will add that coveted messy vibe.

2. Step 2: Secure your half ponytail with a hair tie, scrunchie, or even a cute claw clip.

3. Step 3: Frame your face by pulling out a few strands. Use your fingers to add volume to the remaining hair.

4. Step 4: For any pesky flyaways, finish off with a spritz of Livon Shake & Spray Serum for a polished look.

Feeling adventurous? A messy braid is a beautiful way to showcase your waves while adding a touch of intricacy.

2. Step 2: Continue alternating sides until you’ve formed a beautiful fishtail braid.

3. Step 3: Secure the end with a hair tie and let the braid drape over your shoulder.

4. Step 4: Gently pull out sections of hair at the front to amplify the relaxed look.
