Written By Summer is the perfect time to embrace effortless, beachy waves. But achieving those tousled, textured locks can be easier said than done. Here are some tips and tricks for getting the perfect beach waves this summer.
- Prep Your Hair: Before styling, make sure your hair is clean and dry. Apply a heat protectant spray to protect your hair from damage, and use a volumizing mousse or sea salt spray to give your hair texture and hold.
- Use the Right Tools: To create beach waves, you’ll need a curling iron or wand with a barrel size of 1 inch or larger. A wand with a tapered barrel can also give you a more natural, beachy look. Don’t forget to use a clip or hair tie to separate your hair into sections for easier styling.
- Curl Away from Your Face: When curling your hair, make sure to curl away from your face for a more flattering look. Hold the curling iron or wand vertically and wrap your hair around the barrel, leaving the ends out for a more relaxed look. Hold for a few seconds before releasing the curl.
- Finish with Texturizing Spray: Once you’ve curled all your hair, use a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to give your waves extra hold and texture. Flip your head upside down and scrunch the spray into your hair for added volume.
- Embrace Imperfection: Remember, the key to beachy waves is to embrace imperfection. Don’t worry too much about getting every curl perfect, and use your fingers to tousle and separate your waves for a more natural look.
With these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to achieve the perfect beach waves all summer long. And remember, the best part about beach waves is that they look even better with a little bit of saltwater and sunshine
