Description
Loose beachy waves are a popular, relaxed hairstyle that is perfect for the summer months. This style mimics the natural waves that occur when you spend a day at the beach, giving you a laid-back and effortless look.
How to
To achieve loose beachy waves, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Start by washing and conditioning your hair as normal. Towel dry your hair and apply a heat protectant spray or cream to your hair to prevent damage from the heat styling tools.
Step 2: Divide Your Hair
Divide your hair into small sections. The smaller the sections, the tighter the waves will be. If you want looser waves, divide your hair into larger sections. Clip each section out of the way so that you can work on one section at a time.
Step 3: Use a Curling Iron
Using a curling iron or wand, wrap each section around the barrel away from your face. Hold the curling iron for about 10-15 seconds and then release the curl. Repeat this process for all sections of your hair.
Step 4: Shake Out the Curls
Once you have curled all of your hair, run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls. Shake your hair out to create a more natural look.
Step 5: Finish with Hairspray
Finish the look with a light hold hairspray to keep the waves in place. You can also use a sea salt spray to add texture and create a more beachy look.
Tips
Here are some additional tips to help you achieve the perfect loose beachy waves:
- Use a curling iron with a larger barrel for looser waves
- Apply a texturizing spray to your hair before curling for added texture
- For a more natural look, curl random sections of your hair instead of curling every section
- Use a hair serum or oil to add shine to your waves
- For a more tousled look, use your fingers to twist and separate the curls after curling
