We all love the look of long beach waves for the summer months, which may be why the “Botticelli” hairstyle is so popular this season. The style is characterized by lengthy, flowing, effortless-looking waves that brings mermaids to mind.

The Botticelli style is named after the legendary Italian Renaissance painter, Sandro Botticelli, who often depicted the subjects of his paintings with the waves that were common back then. One of his most famous works that you’ve probably seen before is “La Nascita di Venere” (“The Birth of Venus.”)

"The Birth of Venus" is one of Botticelli's most famous paintings and features the goddess with flowing locks.

How To Get the Look:

Prep the hair with Sebastian Professional No.Breaker for damage repair and volume and Sebastian Professional Potion 9 for moisture.
Create two or three braids depending on hair thickness.
Sleep in the braids overnight or spray them with Sebastian Professional Trilliant for heat protection. Heat the braids with a hair dryer or a flat iron and let them cool.
Then, take out the braids, gently brush through your hair with your fingers and enjoy!
