Added: 12 Apr 2012
Now that the days of summer are fast approaching, it's time to think about trying out some sexy new hairstyles. Here, Selena Gomez is getting us in the mood for summer with her messy beach wave hair. This is the perfect style for summer days because it's carefree and cute, plus it works just as well at night time while you're out on the town. If you have shoulder-length hair or longer, you can get this look two different ways - choose which end result you desire most.

1. Curling iron - Selena's waves are messy, but you can still see that they have been coiffed carefully using a clip-less curling iron. In case you have never used one, it's basically a metal rod that you hold while twisting your hair around the barrel, leaving the ends out. If you have super- thick hair, this can be time-consuming, but this curling method will give the best results.

2. Braids - the cool thing about Selena's 'do is her pokey ends that give it an edgy feel. If you want less curl and more kink, put several braids in your hair the night before and sleep on it. This will give you a wilder version of Selena's look.

After you have added the waves with your chosen method, separate your hair with your fingers, add some styling wax through the ends and you are ready to rock! These thick locks are styled into soft waves through the mid-lengths to ends adding movement and shape best suited to frame a round face. This is a simple style that is easy to re-create at home with the right tools and products and will need regular trims every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends.
