Step-by-Step Guide to

Start with clean, dry hair: Begin with freshly washed and fully dried hair. This style works best on second-day hair or hair that's not too clean, as it provides better texture.

Protect your hair: Apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from the heat of styling tools.

Section your hair: Divide your hair into sections for easier styling. You can use hair clips or ties to keep them separated.

Heat up your curling iron or wand: Set your curling iron or wand to a medium heat setting, typically around 300-350°F (150-175°C).

Curling technique: Take a small section of hair, about 1-2 inches wide, and wrap it around the curling iron or wand, leaving the ends out for a more relaxed look. Hold for 5-10 seconds, then release the curl gently.

Alternate directions: For a natural look, alternate the direction of your curls. Curl some sections away from your face and others toward your face.

Don't curl the roots: Avoid curling the hair too close to the roots; instead, start a couple of inches down from your scalp for a more casual appearance.

Allow curls to cool: Let each curl cool and set before moving on to the next one. This helps the waves hold their shape.

Finish with a texturizing spray: After all the curls are done and have cooled, apply a texturizing spray or sea salt spray to give your hair that beachy texture.

Finger comb: Gently run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls and create a tousled, beachy look.

Optional: You can finish with a light hold hairspray for extra staying power.

Enjoy your beach waves: You now have gorgeous, relaxed beach waves. This style is perfect for any casual or summery occasion!
