How to Create The Perfect Beachy Waves in Your Hair

Have you ever wondered how girls get beautiful, natural-looking waves in their hair? Follow these tips to create the look at home.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 inch curling iron
• Flexible Hold hairspray
• Styling Lotion/smoothing serum
• Heat Protector

1. 

   Start with clean dry hair. Section into 1-1/2 inch sections. Clip up excess hair. Spray section with heat protector spray.

2. 

   Keep curling Iron closed and wrap the section of hair around the outside of the barrel. Be careful not to burn yourself. You may need to wear a glove...the ove glove works great. Hold the hair for 5-10 seconds depending on the desired curl, texture of hair and temperature of the curling iron. After a few times you will know exactly how long you need to keep the hair on the iron. Carefully pull the curling iron out of your hair and let the curl fall loosely.

3. 

   Once you finish curling, spray hair with a flexible hold hair spray. Let the hair cool. Loosely toss the hair and smooth with a smoothing serum to eliminate frizz and give hair a natural wavy look.

Tips & Warnings

• Hair looks even better once the curl has fallen out a little. It looks very natural and can last all day and night!
