Lately I'm loving beachy waves because there are so many super easy ways to recreate this effortless-looking hairstyle. It's the perfect busy mom hairstyle! Plus, I got to try out this nifty new curling iron called the Beachwaver that makes beach waves a cinch, even for busy moms. Keep reading -- we've got no-tool beach wave techniques, too!
On dry hair: Use a styling tool
Although I've watched numerous tutorials and demonstrations on how to wave your hair with a straightening iron or a curling iron, I've never mastered the technique. Flat irons left hard kinks in my hair while curling irons always left me with a too-tight curl. But sometimes I need a quick fix and don't have time to let my hair wave naturally.
Meet my new best friend, the Beachwaver by Sarah Potempa. Unlike a regular curling iron, the barrel of this iron actually spins, wrapping your hair around it as it goes. It leads to a tight curl without any clamp marks. Curl your entire head, allow the curls to curl, then finger comb and voila! Beach waves in minutes! It's a pricey tool at $199, but something I would definitely watch for if wavy hair is your go-to look. It makes beach waves super easy and eliminates all the annoying flat iron/curling iron business.
