Hair Tutorial | How to Create Beachy Waves
Before and after curling your hair, see the awesome difference?
Step 1 – How to Create Beachy Waves
First, detangle your hair with a thin-toothed comb. After combing, divide your hair into four parts for easy sectioning.
Section your hair into four parts and start curling from the bottom layer
Step 2 – How to Create Beachy Waves
Going one section at a time, take your section of hair and curl it. To get the best beach waves, twist your hair around the barrel of your curling iron in two directions: first towards your face and then away from it. Make sure to keep your hair on the curling iron for 10 seconds so the wave will hold better.

Step 3 – How to Create Beachy Waves
When you finish one section, lightly apply hairspray. This will help lock your waves in place once you start moving on to other sections.

Step 4 – How to Create Beachy Waves
Repeat the curling process (first towards your face and then away from it) with every section, except for the last two, uppermost sections. Don’t forget your hairspray!

Now we’re going to change things up a bit. Before you curl the remaining sections of your hair, mist a volumizing hairspray on your roots.

Step 6 – How to Create Beachy Waves
After you spray your roots, tease your hair just a tad bit with a comb. This will add volume and body to your hair.

Step 7 – How to Create Beachy Waves
After you’ve teased your hair, curl the sections using the same method as before.
Curl away and towards the face…again!
Step 8 – How to Create Beachy Waves
Once you’ve finished curling, let your hair cool for 5 minutes. This is important as styling it immediately afterwards will result in lost, deflated waves.
Let everything set in for five minutes
Step 9 – How to Create Beachy Waves
To finish the look, spray a light mist of hairspray all over your hair. Massage the hairspray into your hair to detangle it and achieve a smooth, finished look.
