Beachy waves are a beautifully relaxed style that can suit everyday casual, business and event looks. You can combine them in a half-up, half down look for something a bit different, or embellish them for a bit of definition. Beach waves accentuate highlighted or ombre hair beautifully. You can create them on short or long hair, and make the waves large or small depending on the method you use to create them.

One of the other great things about beachy waves, is that you don’t need to have a curling iron to style them – you can create them with a straightener. In fact, this is a fantastic way to get more out of your flat iron, without having to spend more money on buying extra tools. All you need is some heat protectant spray, a set of hair straighteners (flat iron) and some hair clips, grips and ties to section off your hair as you go. That, and a little patience – creating beachy waves is easy, but there is certainly a knack for getting the perfect waves!

There are several different methods for creating the perfect beachy waves, and each will give you a slightly different finish. We are going to talk you through our favourite 3 methods so that you can have a go too!
