Favorite Product Combination
For the perfect voluminous beach waves with a beautiful matte finish, use Bb. Tonic all over damp towel-dried hair, follow with Oribe Grandiose Mousse from roots to ends. Twist and scrunch to encourage wave patterns & lightly diffuse to remove some moisture. Finish with R+Co Sail all over.
