If you’re like me, you’re always searching for quick, simple hair styles. As a new mom, I am looking for natural hairstyles that will hold up in between washes. One of my go to looks is beachy waves. I love how the curls hold up and its easy to do. Unfortunately, it’s not super quick for me because I have so much hair, but if you have a normal amount of hair, this look should be quick and easy for you to achieve — HA!
I will walk you through step by step, but here are a few things to note. I always do this with clean hair, because these curls hold up well for days and can be styled many different ways in between washes. For example, a cute half up messy bun or a beachy pony tail. Also, I am always sure to use heat protector on my hair before styling. I use a 3/4 inch curling iron when creating these loose, beachy waves.
Achieving Beachy Waves Step-By-Step:
- Section hair off if you have thick hair
- Grab a small piece of hair
- Wrap hair around curling iron HORIZONTALLY
- Hold curling iron horizontally for a few seconds
- Repeat until your whole head is curled
- Brush curls out with fingers for a more natural, “lived in” look
- Add texture spray for added volume and dimension
- Use hairspray if desired

Now that you have your beachy waves, throw on your favorite leggings and enjoy a nice night in on the couch HAHA (thanks Covid).
