How to Get Beach Waves for Short Hair (w/Video)

May 19, 2018 |

Want to learn how to get beach waves for short hair? You can do it in just a few minutes and the look is really cute and perfect for summertime! It's my new favorite hairstyle, and I've been wearing it like this almost every day. This one works well even if you have bangs, because you can easily blend them into the rest of your hair.

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:

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 a beach waver tool

    Mine is from TiGi, but Hot Waves also makes one.

  2. Pile hair atop your head and begin at the bottom

    Use clips to section most of your hair off and place it atop your head, then leave a section loose at the bottom so you can begin there and work your way up.

  3. Work in 1-inch sections

    Clamp a 1-inch section of hair and hold for about 5 seconds per wave for fine hair and closer to 10 seconds per wave for thicker hair.

  4. Continue working your way around until you reach the top

    Work on each section individually until you reach the crown. It's up to you whether or not you decide to do your bangs.

  5. Add mousse to hold the waves

    Spray a golf ball-sized amount of mousse in your hands, then scrunch it throughout hair to keep waves in place and looking like they're “fresh from the beach” all day long.

Throwback pic! ⠀ How many of you own your own Throwback pic! ⠀ How many of you own your own home here in Savannah but rarely travel because you don't like boarding your pets? ⠀ ⠀ The pet-loving community is HUGE worldwide, and there are lots people who A.) love animals and B.) want to see Savannah. ⠀ ⠀ Guess what? They'll happily travel here to take care of your house and your pets while you go off on an adventure -- and they'll do it for FREE. You can skip the expensive boarding fees, and your pets will be happy because they can stay home and get spoiled. It's a win/win😊⠀ ⠀ Got questions?

To use it, drop a quarter in the slot next to the month you were born and the scale will show your current weight, plus a fortune 🔮 I had fun with it and dropped a ton of quarters in just to read the various messages. My favorite one said “More church and fewer nightclubs would help you” 😂😆 (And this is why I love taking the backroads when I travel!)

The King-Tisdell Cottage is named after its former owners and is chock full of African-American history from the 1800s to present time. It’s located in the Historic District.

Savannah is jam-packed with houses, so that means Savannah is jam-packed with houses, so that means you’ll often find multiple homes on one lot. The larger homes face the streets and the carriage houses and tiny homes face the lanes, aka: back alleyways. Let me tell ya, there are some really cute homes down some of those lanes! 💙💙💙
