Summer Beach Waves
Beach waves is one of the most popular and easiest summer hair looks to achieve. Depending on your hair type you might just be able to spray a sea salt spray to damp hair, tousle and go! For those girls like me with dead straight hair we need to apply a little heat to get this look. So once again I enlisted hairstylist Jen Mathison to show us how it is done...
Step 1:
Wrap 1 inch sections of hair around the curling rod. Depending on length of hair you could take smaller or larger sections. Leave a 1 - 2 inch piece uncurled at the end for a messier look. You can also do this afterwards with a straightening iron just on the ends.
Step: 2
After holding the hair to the heat release by slowing pulling hair off the rod from the ends to help smooth your wave.
The Final Look

Hair Tip:
- Wrap the hair flat on the rod since allowing it to twist will give a completely different curl.
- Alternate direction for each curl. One away from the face, next, toward the face, to emulate natural movement/waves.
