Last year I talked to you about how to create the ever-popular sexy beach waves [1] hairstyle, and this is a modification on that look. It's slightly more polished for a casual evening dinner or party that doesn't make you look like you've just come straight from the surf.

When I think of this hairstyle, Camila Alves [2], Jessica Simpson [3] and of course Rachel Bilson come to mind. To find out how you can achieve scrunched summertime waves at home, .

• STEP 1: While hair is soaking wet, comb out the snarls with a wide-toothed comb. Part hair and apply just a little bit of de-frizzing serum like homemade [4] or store-bought sea salt spray [5] and scrunch hair vigorously all over.
• STEP 3: As a finishing touch (something that Rachel Bilson hasn't done here) gently tease [6] your hair at the crown to create more overall height and volume, otherwise your hair risks looking limp and straggly.
• STEP 4: To ensure shiny ends, apply some Renee Furturer Spray Gloss [7] and then leave hair alone. Don't brush, comb or play with it or you'll only create separation and, heaven forbid, frizz!
