You can tell we're in a heatwave here in the UK because the theme of the day is most definitely beachy waves.
First there was Molly Mae Hague and her "lion" crimped waves, which were achieved using a deep waver, and now Chris Appleton has shared his secret to getting that effortless tousled look and I can guarantee it's a technique you'll be trying tonight.
For those of you who don't already follow Chris on Instagram, he is the man responsible for some of the most iconic hairstyles of recent years.
His client list includes Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Dua Lipa, so he should be your go-to if you're looking to up your own hair game.
Follow for the snatched ponys, stay for the shirtless selfies.
Six packs aside, Chris has now started his own YouTube channel where he shares his backstage secrets, including his simple trick to achieving the perfect crimped beachy wave at home.
In his latest video; Three 5 Minute Hairstyles for Summer, Chris shared how to achieve the braided look he created for Dua Lipa.
It's like a Glastonbury x Woodstock mash up, with effortless Kate Moss-esque waves and '60s inspired plaits.
But rather than spending an hour in front of the mirror with your curling tong, Chris simply sprays the hair with hairspray before plaiting into two pigtails.
He then runs a straightening iron over the braids to create that cool crimped texture in under 5 minutes.
Chris then adds two chunky braids to the front and et voila... Dua Lipa 2.0 is here.
