How to Achieve the Professional Beach Wave

Hey there, hair enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the realm of beach waves –               those relaxed, tousled curls that effortlessly scream "I just stepped off the shore." Whether you're strolling along the beach or navigating the urban jungle, the professional beach wave is a timeless look that exudes both sophistication and laid-back charm. And the best part? Achieving this style is easier than you might think!

Embrace the Texture:

Before we dive into the styling process, let's talk texture. The beauty of beach waves lies in their relaxed, natural appearance. Embrace your hair's natural texture, whether it's straight, wavy, or curly. If you're working with straight hair, a little texture spray can go a long way in enhancing your waves. You guys already know if you follow my blog that I love the IGK Beach Club Texture Spray. 

The Right Tools:

To achieve those perfect waves, you'll need the right tools. Opt for a quality curling wand – preferably one with a tapered barrel for a more natural look. A wand around 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter should do the trick. Make sure your hair is dry before you start, and consider using a heat protectant to shield your locks from any potential damage. Check out some of my fav tools here. 

Section and Conquer:

Divide your hair into manageable sections. This not only makes the styling process more straightforward but also ensures that every strand gets the attention it deserves. Clip away the sections you're not working on to prevent any mix-ups.

The Technique:

Now, for the magic touch. Wrap small sections of your hair around the curling wand, holding each section for about 5-10 seconds. For a more natural look, alternate the direction of each curl – some towards your face, others away. Don't forget to leave the ends out for that effortlessly undone vibe.

The Finishing Touch:

Once you've achieved the desired wave pattern, let your hair cool for 5-10 mins. Then, gently run your fingers through the waves to break them up slightly. If you prefer a more polished look, a wide-tooth comb can help separate the curls without losing that beachy feel.

Seal the Deal with the Right Products:

To ensure your beach waves stay in place, finish off with a light-hold hairspray or texturizing spray. These products will give your waves staying power without compromising their natural movement. If your hair tends to frizz, a drop of smoothing serum can work wonders.
