What does a wide-tooth comb, a bunch of hair clips, one hair net and a lick of hair texturizer add up to? A DIY for easy surf-and-sand waves with a sexy ’70s vibe, it turns out, if you’re Aussie hair pro Kevin Murphy.
My hair’s naturally wavy, yet I seriously want to try Murphy’s why-didn’t-someone-think-of-this-sooner Surfer Girl Kit ($36). I admit it, I’m lured by the image on the box as much as the simplicity of the styling approach.
See just how simple it is in this quick vid by FASHION Magazine’s Adriana Ermter, or download Murphy’s how-to podcast to your iPhone or iPad.

Can I be honest? LOVE the idea, packagine & of course – your article.
OPPOSITE OF LOVE the end result of the video? Is it my eyes or is her hair just a teired dents?
I say Bumble&bumble beach spray on damphair + air dry all the way! GooOoOoo beach waves!
*giggle* Take a look at Kevin Murphy’s own how-to. It’s waaay longer — he’s very thorough with his information (he teaches other hairstylists) — but the end result is, I think, one you’ll like. In his vid, it looks like he’s working with a model whose hair is perhaps straighter and a touch finer in texture than this brunette. Plus he had time to finesse it.
I’ve heard lots about Bumble&bumble beach spray. Does it work on the straight-haired girls or do you need a little natural wave to begin with?
I have to agree with Kate–they ARE tiered dents.
Better result in his own vid, definitely.
:S I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Murphy – one of my former co-workers/hairstylists dove right into his products when she relocated to her own salon (June Croken – Hairdresser on Fire)
AH-MAZING!
Janine, I have a natural wave to my hair (lots of fine hair) so I can get a wave with or without B&b Beach Spray – I have told friends with superstraight hair to give it a whirl and they liked it.
A good friend of mine with straight strands, recently went into a B&b salon here in Streetsville (Mississauga) and asked for a cut that would allow her to wear her hair wavy – so she could work the Beach Spray!
Her haircut = awesome + beach spray = gorgeous! (Give it a try, worth it for the summer or even those days when you’re in a rush!)
