To create beach wavy hair, you’ll need a medium fixation hairspray, dry texturizer and a curling wand. Use the texturizer on clean hair for instant volume. Heat your curling wand up to 212-230°F and start making fantastic beach waves. You’ll need a hair-styling gel. Choose the one that is suitable for all hair types to make sure your smooth and sleek hairstyle will look perfect. Finish your short beach waves with hairspray, avoiding any hair sticking together.
Prepare all the hair products mentioned above, curling iron and let’s begin.
Step 1. Comb your hair. Start at the ends and gradually move up to the roots. Use a texturizer for the volume. Split the hair into three sections. Let’s start from the back. Separate a strand approximately 1 inch wide.
Step 2. Apply thickening spray to add texture and fullness. Then, smooth out the section and begin to curl your hair.
Step 3. Alternate the direction of the curls with every section, as you go along. Curl one section toward your face, and then curl the other section away from your face. This way, you’ll create soft, relaxed waves.
Step 4. Follow the same steps with other sections of the hair. When the curls cool down, apply medium-fixation hairspray. The spray will hold the curls for quite a long time.
Step 5. Gently brush the curls until you are happy with the way it looks.
Step 6. Smooth out the ends with the gel. Be careful; use just a little bit of it or your hair will stick together.
Step 7. Run your fingers through your hair to help give the hairstyle a little shape. And, you’re done! Your beautiful and natural-looking beach waves are ready for the public.
