Beach Hair

11 years ago by

I’ve never been one to do much to my hair. I wash it once or twice a week and I don’t put any product in it or heat on it once I make it out of the shower…

On most days it’s a miracle if I even run a brush through it.

My hair is super thick, pretty long, and basically straight. I let it air dry in hopes of getting some nice natural waves but usually it just looks unruly and ends up in a bun on the top of my head. (This I blame on spending too much time with Garance :)

Enter Bumble & Bumble’s Surf Shampoo and Conditioner. I wasn’t an early adopter of their Surf Spray, but I definitely am of this hair duo. After washing with the Surf set, my hair dries with more texture without having to touch it. It gives my hair more body and the sea breeze waves that I can only seem to achieve after a day at the beach. The best part though is that my hair still feels clean for an entire week and maintains its texture.

Now, let’s learn how to surf!

  • Wow! if this works would be the perfect solution for so many people! We will investigate! Thanks for the recommendation

    Sí al sí quiero

  • c’est bon à savoir, moi même ayant des cheveux longs, épais et un peu difficiles à dompter (les bougres), je testerai.

    merci Emily!

    lucky u straight hair…these product r great for texture…curly hair for some reason is a magnet for sea air which end up feeling very dirty…glad it works for u

  • you may have just revolutionized my life. Your hair regime sounds exactly like mine (ie; almost nonexistent) and I LOVE the B&B beach spray. I had no clue a shampoo and conditioner existed.
    Thank you for sharing this little gem of info!!

    J’ai découvert MON shampooing après avoir fait de multiples expériences (même le liquide vaisselle, sait-on jamais).
    Mes cheveux sont courts, raides; fins et blancs. Courts et blancs, ça ne me dérange pas, au contraire. Mais : raides + fins = plats, c’est connu. Et j’ai trouvé, à force d’essayer tout. Un savon liquide anti-escarres, qui sert à la toilette de nos petits vieux. Il s’appelle “Solvirex” et il est vendu (pas très cher) en pharmacie. Ce savon liquide est un shampooing volumateur qui s’ignore. J’en fais des réserves en cas de pénurie…

  • I have wavy/curly hair, and last week when I got my haircut my hairdresser used this duo on my hair. It was AMAZING! My hair felt so light and perfect. Ten thumbs up!

    Ca serait cool d’avoir un belle photo d’Emily et Alex. Vu qu’elles ecrivent de plus en plus souvent sur le blog et qu’on adore leur rubrique.

  • Cowabunga dudet–def going to try this! After my hair slightly dries, I put it up in a messy bun or braids, in effort to make some waves—now I’ll add this to the routine.

  • I definitely need to try this! I have very straight Asian hair i.e. no volume at all. I love anything that can give my hair texture and volume…with minimal fuss for me!

  • That picture is so neat

  • I love the Surf Spray! It does what it says for me. xx

  • Je ne suis pas très convaincue des spray non plus… Malheureusement je n’ai pas les mêmes cheveux que toi, ils sont fins, lisses et courts. Mais j’aimerai bien essayer ce produit! Bon comme dirait garance, le packaging est plutôt beau et en plus tu te sens comme une surfeuse! Mais est ce que l’après-shampoing est vraiment indispensable? car le produit n’est pas donné et je suis un peu une flemmarde pour une deuxième application…

  • Dear Garance,
    This is the worst you could put on your keratin-treated hair. It contains SALT, which dissolves the keratin. It will only last a few weeks if you do go on and wash with this… You should stick to kerating shampoos…

    Eva.

  • Je suis totalement jalouse, 1 à 2 fois par semaine ????
    J’ai les cheveux raides et lisse OK sauf que le shampoing c’est tout les jours !!!!
    20 minutes tout les matins… Bouuh.

  • Hi Emily!

    I’ve seen a couple of pictures of you and you have gorgeous straight hair. Don’t even try to change it! I dream with a hair like that… I guess it’s true that we all want what we don’t have!

    Anyway! Since I can’t help but try all kinds of hair products I’m going to try this too ;)

  • I think you can find seawater sprays that really do the trick!
    And I find this new trend of washing your hair less often quite funny. It would have been considered disgraceful a few years back, but it’s totally accepted now.
    I’m happy I’m only washing it just once a week, as I don’t really have so much time to take care of my hair, and since I had a perm hair straightening, I don’t even use a hair drier or my iron! And it’s much cheaper than the other straightening methods.

    salut emily! Je viens bientot aux états unis et j’aimerais savoir ou je pourrais trouver ce shampooing qui a l’air super ?! Dans un certain magasin ou seulement dans les salons ?! Car comme toi n’aimez cheveux long et épais :) merci beaucoup.

  • Il a l’air supergénial j’espère qu’il ne mettra pas longtemps à sortir en France !

  • Je retiens ces super produits :)

    xx.

    you wash your hair ONCE A WEEK?

  • Eh eh, me too
    They are so dry and so long to… dry ! And look clean

  • En fait le surf spray marche mieux sur cheveux fins qu’ épais j’ai l’impression…
    Sinon pour créer du volume sur cheveux longs il y a la BB texture cream (pour usage occasionnel car il faut laver les cheveux après).
    Depuis longtemps je voudrais tester le shampoing et surtout l’après shampoing (car je pratique le low poo, le shampoing c’est juste de temps en temps, et sinon je me contente de laver mes cheveux à l’après-shampoing) de cette gamme surf, mais j’aime tellement l’après-shampoing “super rich” de Bumble & Bumble que je tarde à tester autre chose… Bien sûr il convient plutôt aux cheveux secs, mais il les laisse soyeux, nourris, démêlés (comme ça on peut faire l’impasse sur le coup de brosse) et il sent divinement bon. En tout cas ce post me conforte dans l’idée d’acheter ces produits à ma prochaine commande.

  • Je ne suis donc pas la seule à avoir un univers capillaire rebelle, version crise d’ado voire anarchiste. Ca me rassure. Je m’aventure rarement là haut… Deux fois par semaine: un shampooing, du démélant et… de la kératine en spray. Perso, c’est ça mon produit miracle:-)) mais à l’occasion j’essaierai les tiens!
