We all know that the humidity and heat of summer can be tough. The high temperatures don’t just make it hard to get a good night’s sleep – they also wreak havoc on your hair. Beach waves are a cool, simple way to beat the heat. They’re easy to do at home, with little more than a curling iron or heated flatiron. Plus, you won’t have to worry about frizz as much because your locks will be blown out straight – which is perfect for those humid days when you need an extra refresher in the afternoon.
Wearing your hair down and flowing is a great way to feel glamorous. But if you want beachy waves, not straight hair, it can be challenging to achieve that look at home.
How do I get beachy waves naturally?
If you have long hair and want to know how to get beachy waves naturally, we’ve got the perfect solution for you! Here are a few of our favorite DIY methods.
- Wet your hair with water from head to toe (to create some volume), then take a comb and gently run it through your wet locks before drying them.
- Blow out all of your hair using your brush or comb as needed for straightening out strands that aren’t cooperating
- Section off two-inch wide chunks 3) Curl each chunk away from the face 4. Spray each curl liberally with hairspray
- Using an old t-shirt, wrap it around your head like a towel. Squeeze out most water by hand or using paper towels before letting it air dry for at least 10 minutes.
- Apply conditioner evenly throughout damp strands and let sit for 2-5 minutes while wrapping up in a towel to absorb excess moisture into the fabric instead of hair.
Brush out curls for waves that will last all-day
Women with naturally curly hair know that while it may be frizzy, wavy, and beautiful in the morning, it can look like a hot mess by midday. The good news is that you can get waves to last all day long with just a little extra effort. Curly girls need to brush their curls out before they hit the beach or poolside so that they stay tamed for hours on end. Brush your locks from roots to ends starting at your scalp, and then make sure not to over-brush from the top-down as this will cause tangles rather than giving you soft waves.
Hair is a beautiful accessory to any outfit! It can transform an average day at the office into something memorable and exciting. One of the hottest hair trends right now is beach waves, which are easy to recreate with just a few quick steps.
