Noticing the trend amongst Hollywood "it" girls (Rachel Bilson, Michelle Williams and Jessica Alba) who have ditched their flat irons in exchange for soft, cascading waves and ripples, Herbal Essences devised a way to bottle this wavelicious texture.

Our two favorite styling products from the line include their Tousle Me Softly Mousse and Tousle Me Softly Finishing Touch Cream (available in August with the complete line, from $3.99 to $7.99 each). Both products work together to create, hold and polish your tousled waves creating touchable tresses (not those hard, crusty spirals from decades past). And even though we thought we didn't need our flat iron this summer, it turns out we do. Celebrity stylist Charles Baker Strahan, Herbal Essences' resident hair expert, gave us some "how to" tips for achieving the perfect wave. After washing and blow drying hair, squeeze a flat iron closed around a 2” section of hair and wrap it around the outside, like you’d do with a curling iron. Hold for five seconds, release and viola! Beach worthy waves without the tanning salon smell!
