Tools You Will Need
Curling Wand
Flat Iron
Hair Spray
Heat Protectant Spray
Hair Clips
Texturizing Spray
Method 1: Using a Curling Wand
Start with clean, dry hair and apply a heat protectant spray.
Section your hair into manageable parts and clip them up.
Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the curling wand, holding it for about 10-15 seconds.
Release the curl and let it cool before moving on to the next section.
Once all sections are curled, gently tousle your hair with your fingers and finish with a texturizing spray.
Method 2: Using a Flat Iron
Apply heat protectant spray to your hair and section it off.
Take a small section of hair, clamp the flat iron at the roots, and twist it away from your face.
Pull the flat iron down to the ends of your hair while maintaining the twist.
Continue this process until all sections are styled.
Finish with a light hair spray to hold your waves in place.
Method 3: Braiding for Heat-Free Waves
Start with damp hair and apply a texturizing spray.
Divide your hair into sections and braid each section loosely.
Allow the braids to dry completely, either overnight or for a few hours.
Once dry, undo the braids and gently separate the waves with your fingers.
Finish with a light mist of hair spray for added hold.
With these methods at your disposal, you'll be well-equipped to create beautiful beachy waves that turn heads and complement your style. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t hesitate to experiment with these techniques to find what works best for you!
