Prepping for the Victoria’s Secret Swim Special: Candice Swanepoel and Behati Prinsloo on the Secret to Good Beach Hair

On February 26, Victoria’s Secret will air its first-ever Swim Special—filmed on location in Puerto Rico—at 10:00 p.m. on CBS. And with plenty of sun-glazed ocean time, their sand-strewn adventures are bound to leave us wondering: How exactly do the Angels get that effortlessly tousled beach hair? It’s easier than you think. Take it from Behati Prinsloo, who goes by the age-old tip of not washing and conditioning every day. “I find that it strips the hair of its natural oils—which is pretty instrumental in achieving sexy beach hair,” says Prinsloo.” I use a dry shampoo and then spritz with a salt water mixture before giving it a good scrunch.” As for a comb or brush? Prinsloo goes the natural route. “I run my hands through my hair instead,” she says. For Candice Swanepoel, a still more pared-back routine works best. “Swimming in the ocean gives me a better [texture] than any products ever could,” says the South African–born beauty. The takeaway tip? When it comes to beach hair, just add saltwater. It’s the supermodel way.
