How to: Beachy Waves for Short Hair

I get all the time how I curl my hair and how I get the perfect beachy waves. Well, today I am dishing all my secrets and how I curl my hair. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Curling Wand (similar) / Sachajuan Shampoo + Conditioner / Fave4 / Aveda

• Prepping your hair is VERY important! I have been loving this Sachajuan shampoo and conditioner for volume. When I curl my hair I need all the volume I can get. (My hair is super slick and smooth, so it’s very hard for me to get volume, or for a style to hold.)
• Once I have washed my hair I like to prep it with my Aveda Be Curly Enhancer.
• Next, I blow dry. (Do not try to curl your hair when it’s wet or even damp, that will destroy it and add so much damage to your hair!)
• After my hair is all dried I spray what I call the glory spray, because this stuff is just God sent. I LOVE the Fave4 Texture Takeover. I spray the texture takeover as I move on to each section of my hair.
• You want to grab about ½” to a 1″ of hair. If you grab any less you will have tight little curls and on the flip side, if you add too much hair, you won’t be able to get enough heat to actually curl your hair. I should probably tell you that my wand is a 1″ wand from Kor. (I actually got this at a stand inside the mall for A LOT cheaper.)
• When curling my hair I like to alternate curling backward and forwards (see pictures below to see what I am talking about). I love the way it looks this way, it adds dimension and doesn’t look so perfect-ish. Also, for more of a beachy look, I always leave about 1″ of the bottom my hair loose (or not wrapped around the wand). This little step is what will make the curls and your look more relaxed and beachy perfect.
• Once I have finished curling I spray some more Texture Takeover all over and shake the curls loose and then I am all done!
