beach waves- a hairstyle loved by many celebrities, beauty bloggers and girls around the world. This hairstyle got its name because, ideally, beach waves should look like you are returning from the beach, sea salt is still on your hair, and a warm breeze has tousled your curls a little. Beach waves don't have to be perfect, it's not a neat lacquered haircut, it's supposed to look a little messy and tousled. In addition, you do not need to curl your hair much, the waves should be soft.

There are many ways to create beach waves. I propose to consider the most common of them.

General advice for all methods: beach waves are not recommended for clean hair. On the second day after shampooing or after a few hours after showering and drying thoroughly with a hair dryer, the hairstyle will look better.

How to make beach waves (curls)

The first and easiest way to make beach waves on your hair does not involve the use of any tools such as curlers or flat irons. To do this, you are invited to create a simple spray by mixing a spoonful of coconut oil, a spoonful of sea salt, a spoonful of hair styling gel and warm water. By spraying all this on your hair, you will get a slightly wavy hairstyle with a wet hair effect. This method is suitable for girls with a fairly stiff and thick hair structure, if the hair holds various styling well.

How to make beach waves (curls) on long hair

There are several ways to create beach waves on long hair.

1. To make beach waves, you need to apply a heat-protective spray on your hair, twist your hair into bundles and run an iron over the bundles, holding the iron in one place for a few seconds. I tried this method on my own hair and I really liked it. It does not take much time, the hairstyle is beautiful. If you want the waves to be larger, then twist thicker strands into bundles. The thinner the strand, the smaller the waves are.

2. Similar waves can be achieved in the second way without using an iron and other hot tools. You can simply twist (or braid) your wet or styled hair and blow-dry it (or just wait until it dries). The effect will be about the same as with the first method of creating beach waves, but faster with an iron.

3. Beach waves can also be made using a round curling iron (curler) or ironing. There are no special tricks, just apply a heat protectant to your hair and curl. Then you can tousle your hair a little and varnish your hair. Avoid perfect curls, if the hair is long, then it is better to curl them not from the very roots, but closer to the ends of the hair.

Curls always look quite interesting and even romantic. To get the desired hairstyle, girls with naturally straight hair often resort to harmful thermal devices. But fortunately, there are many ways to curl your hair without heat! Conventional hair clips have been used for cold curling for decades, and they are suitable for hair of any length. You can also use cold curlers to curl your hair as it dries. If you prefer wavy hairstyles, twist your hair into a bun before going to bed or wrap it around your headband for a vintage style curl on any length of your hair!

Steps

Curling with hair clips

Start with damp brushed hair and work through with styling lotion. Wash your hair with shampoo and condition your hair as usual. Then gently pat your curls with a towel until they are damp but not wet. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed flat comb, and then evenly distribute a small amount of styling lotion through your hair from roots to ends.

• If you have sparse hair that doesn't hold curl well, it may be best to start curling with wet hair. On the other hand, if the hair is very thick, it is better to curl it while slightly damp to shorten the subsequent drying time.
• If you don't have styling lotion, use a light styling mousse. Don't use products that weigh down your hair, as they will make your curls stiff and crunchy instead of soft and natural.

Separate a strand of hair about 2.5 cm wide near the face. In order for the perm to look its best, you should try to select approximately the same strands each time. Typically, curling with clips involves working with strands about 2.5 cm wide. This size of the strands makes it easier to twist them.

Wrap the tip of the strand around your fingers 1-2 times. Attach the tip of the strand to your finger, and then loosely wrap it around your finger several times. Try to create a neat ring, inside which the ends of the hair are hidden. This will allow you to achieve a better curling result when all the stages of work are completed.

• To create bouncy, springy curls, wind the strand around your finger in an upward direction or towards your face. For a more voluminous curl, wind the strand down or away from your face.
• Don't wrap the strand too tightly around your finger, or you'll have a hard time getting the ring of hair off your finger without messing it up.
• Hair can also be wound on two fingers at once, so it will be easier to remove them later.

Advice: for a more fashionable curl, leave the very tip of the strand (about 2.5 cm) untwisted. So you get curly curls, the tips of which remain straight.

Remove your fingers from the ring of hair and twist it to the very roots. Carefully remove your fingers from the ring of hair you created, holding it so that it does not ruffle. Then twist the strand around the ringlet to the very roots. When you complete this operation, the ring of hair should be located close to the scalp.

• Do not twist your hair when you twist the strand into a ring, otherwise the curl will turn out to be messy and will be very frizzy.
• You may need to practice a little - be patient and don't quit!

"Hot" wave

In order to wind the hair in waves in a hot way, hot tongs and a comb were required. Waves were created by moving tongs from hair roots to ends, and they had to be placed sequentially - first above the strand, and then - below it.
