It doesn't take a village to get Jessica Alba's insanely gorgeous waves. During a recent trip to InStyle HQ, the actress and Honest Beauty founder demonstrated exactly how she creates the lived-in appearance on herself--in just five minutes, at that. Her secret? Work in varied, staggered sections to enhance the "I woke up like this" vibe. "The more chunky and uneven, I think the better the result," Alba says. After a quick pass of a wide-tooth comb, the star applies a few pumps of the Honest Sea Salt Spray ($18; ulta.com) to amp up the effect, though it also helps that the formula smells like an actual beach vacation. She then uses a few drops of the Honest Beauty Dry Condition + Shine Serum ($20; ulta.com) through her ends, which helps further break up the definition and adds a mirror-like finish.
