Beach waves are an increasingly popular style because they look good on virtually all textures. To achieve beautiful beach waves requires some know-how and the appropriate products.
Prep Your Hair
Beach waves can be challenging to achieve for those with curly locks. Start by making minor adjustments to your styling routine. Use a volumizing and texturizing spray like got2b Volumaniac for maximum volume and texturizing effects. Follow these heatless beach wave tutorials designed for all hair types.
Curl Your Hair
To achieve beach waves that don’t appear stiff, curl your dampened locks while still damp. Apply a heat protectant and divide your hair into three to four equally sized sections. Use a large barrel curling iron to curl one-inch sections, ensuring face-framing pieces are curling away from your face for an open, relaxed appearance.
Texturize Your Hair
Achieving surf-girl texture without using heat tools is possible. Apply a curl-enhancing cream on wet hair before tightly braiding it into two French rope twists and braiding tightly again before going to sleep. Untwist in the morning and apply a texture-defining spray to complete the look. Another option is to use a heat-protectant spray, divide your damp hair into two even sections, and work hair wax through each section to define curl patterns.
Set Your Hair
Creating beach waves doesn’t always require heat-styling tools. Braid your hair and leave it in place overnight. In the morning, untangle and unbraid for beautiful flowing locks. This method works for all hair lengths and textures. For short hair, try braiding damp hair into tight braids and leaving them until morning to dry naturally before undoing and adding sea salt spray for chunky definition.
