"This is an eye-catching style, requested by so many of my guests," she says, describing the loose, light beach waves she crafts with just the right touch of thermal styling, professional tools, and finishing products. "I recommend this simply accented look for summer nights out, getting dressed up for a cocktail party, or for an easy, breezy dinner with friends," says Poczciwinski.

Create the Look • First, curl the hair with a 1¼-inch curling iron. • Add texture with a flat iron, taking small subsections of hair on the top and rocking the iron up and down the length, creating a wave pattern. • Accent and frame the face with two rope braids. • Enhance as desired with more small braids, hair pins, etc. Customize the Look Depending on your guest's hair type and condition, try using different-size curling irons to create texture. "You can even choose to keep it straight and mix it up with different braids—three-strand braid, rope braid, bubble braid," says Poczciwinski. Heat up summer styling with the right tools. Keep it fun with well-placed pins, and a personalized twist. THE PROTOCOL
