It seems like no matter where I go I am always getting compliments and questions on how I curl my hair. I have been curling my hair the same way for years now, so if you are creeping through my pictures and want to know how I curled my hair, this is how. I was never a big fan of tight curls, so I figured out a way to make them loose and wavy. Here is the secret to how I curl my hair!
Step 1. I blow dry my hair half way and then I let it air dry the rest of the way dry.
Step 2. Once my hair is dry I spray it with a heat protectant. I use the garnier fructis brand.
Step 3. I straighten just the ends of my hair. I have naturally wavy hair and when I do my beach waves look I like the ends to be straight. I just started doing this because I think it gives it a messier look. This is just a personal preference. This step can be skipped.
Step 4. To curl my hair I take a section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron, away from my face, leaving about an inch of hair at the end sticking out. I do not use the clip of the curling iron. I just recently got the NuMe curling wand in size 32 mm (which I love) so I don't have to worry about a clip, but you definitely don't need a curling wand to do this look. You can use a regular curling iron. That is what I used to use. You continue this around your whole head of hair until it is all complete. I usually section my hair off to make it easier to curl one section at a time.
Step 5. Once I have finished curling my hair I take dry shampoo/volumizing spray and spray it at my roots. Then I run my fingers through my hair to give it a messier look.
Step 6. Everyone knows I love volume. I tease my hair daily, so the next step is teasing your hair to give it some volume. I tease the back and the sides of my hair. This step can also be skipped depending on your personal preference.
Then your Beach Waves are complete!
Here are a couple of examples of when I used this technique.
