How to get Beach Waves for Short Hair

I don't know about you, but I love all the sunshine we've been having lately! I hop out of bed every day thinking about the ocean. Ever since cutting my hair shorter, I've been working on my beach hair…and I've finally perfected my method!

The Tools You'll Need

There are different methods you can use to get the look, but this beach waver from Bed Head is my current favorite. It's quick, easy, and inexpensive!

My Video Tutorial for Beach Waves on Short Hair

You only need about 10 minutes out of your day to create this look (more if your hair is really long and/or thick). Click the play button to watch my video tutorial:

Products Used

Beach Wave Crimper | Wet Brush | Mousse

The waves end up relaxing a bit as the day goes on, but if you include mousse they'll last most of the day. Those results probably vary a little based on your hair type and how humid it is wherever you live.

How to Get Beach Waves in 5 Easy Steps

1. Purchase the beach waver tool. Mine is from Tigi, but Hot Waves also makes one
2. Section off hair and begin adding waves with the bottom layer, then work your way up to the top
3. Clamp a 1-inch section of hair and hold for about 5 seconds per wave
4. Work your way around until you've completed each of the sections
5. Spray a golf ball sized amount of mousse in your hands, then scrunch it throughout hair to keep curls in place all day long

Try adding a scrunchie for a super cute look if you're in the process of growing out your bangs.

Well, that's all there is to it! It's pretty easy. If you guys would like a heatless method to get a similar look, just let me know.
