Jamie Chung Nails the Cali-Cool Waves You Keep Attempting With Your Curling Iron

When we saw Jamie Chung's hair at the 2017 People's Choice Awards, we all had the same reaction: want. The actress nailed the Cali-cool look of tousled beach waves and brunette-honey balayage.

Lighter pieces around her face and toward the ends actually looked sunkissed — even if they came from a bottle.

If you're asking your stylist to copy the waves, make sure he or she twists hair in alternating directions and leaves about an inch of the ends uncurled.

Also, shout-out to Jamie's pretty berry-red lipstick.
