Why this worksBeachy waves create soft texture and volume, making hair look effortlessly styled. This technique works by enhancing your hair's natural shape and movement. With the right tools and methods, you can achieve those laid-back waves that scream summer vibes.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to shield your strands from damage while styling.
  2. Section Your Hair Divide your hair into 2-4 sections for easier styling. Secure each section with a clip, working from the bottom up.
  3. Curl With a Wand Take a small section of hair and wrap it around a curling wand, holding for a few seconds. Alternate the direction of curls for a more natural look.
  4. Loosen the Curls Once all sections are curled, gently run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls. This gives a more relaxed, beachy appearance.
  5. Finish With Texture Spray Spritz a sea salt spray or texture spray throughout your hair for added hold and definition. This will enhance that effortless beachy vibe.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is using too-large sections when curling, which can lead to less defined waves. Also, don't forget to alternate curl directions for a more natural look. Lastly, over-applying product can make waves feel stiff instead of soft.

The pro moveFor added texture, try using a mousse before curling to boost volume and hold.
