Effortless Beachy Waves
There's no hairstyle quite as iconic and effortlessly chic as beachy waves, plus it’s the perfect hairstyle for summers spent, well, at the beach of course. Whether you're lounging by the ocean or strolling through the city, this look is a carefree vibe that's perfect for any summer occasion and activity.. If you're wondering how to achieve those coveted tousled locks, fear not, it’s not as complicated as you think. It’s actually the opposite and you can get the look in three easy steps.
1. Prepping Your Hair
Start by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to add texture and body. Towel dry your hair gently, avoiding rough rubbing to prevent frizz. Apply a lightweight heat protectant spray to shield your locks from heat damage. For added texture, you can also use a sea salt spray or texturizing mist.
2. Curling
To achieve those coveted beachy waves, grab your go-to curling wand or a large barreled curling iron. Take small sections of hair, about 1 to 2 inches wide, and wrap them around the barrel away from your face. Hold the hair in place for 5-10 seconds, then release. Here's the key to achieving a natural look: vary the direction of your curls by alternating between wrapping sections towards your face and away from it. This technique will give you that effortlessly undone appearance.
3. Seal the Deal
For finishing your beachy look, and to enhance that beachy texture, gently run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls. For a more relaxed look, you can even flip your head upside down and tousle your locks. To set the style and ensure that it lasts all day,, mist your hair with a flexible hold hairspray. Voilà! You're now ready to rock those perfect beachy waves all day long.
