  5. Let the hair cool completely and only then do we release the tourniquet.
  6. We repeat the process with the remaining hair.

Also, light curls can be made in this way:

Curlers for a beautiful wave

Velcro curlers are great for styling. In addition, they are very convenient to use, because they themselves cling to the hair. The main thing is to choose the right size, because the size of the curls completely depends on the diameter of the curlers.

1. We wash my head.

2. We comb and divide the still wet hair into several thin parts.

  1. Apply mousse to wet hair and comb thoroughly.
  2. We braid them into one or more braids. The thicker the braid, the larger the curl.
  3. We unweave them in the morning - the strands will form in beautiful waves.

If you wish, you can put the braid into a bundle - the wave will be even better.

For a quick effect, you can use an iron:

  1. Mode the foil into small rectangles.
  2. We comb and divide the hair into identical strands (about 10) - on top, on the sides and below.
  3. Gently twist each strand, wrap it in a ring and wrap it in a rectangle made of foil - bend it in half, put a ring of hair on one half, and cover it with the other part. We bend the edges of the foil so that the "pocket" is held.
  4. We heat each ring with an iron for 2 minutes.
  5. Let the foil cool completely and leave it on for a few more minutes.
  6. We remove the "pockets" from the strands and straighten the curls with our hands.

Retro waves

This styling was very popular in the 20s of the 19th century. She also fell in love with today's fashionistas.

  1. We divide carefully combed hair with a side part. Select the hair triangle from the back.

Choosing a styling product

Now you know how to make light waves in your hair, but that's not all! Styling will only last if you apply a good styling product to your hair. Let's consider them in more detail:

  • Mousse - suitable for hair of any type and structure. It can be applied to both dry and damp hair. The more mousse you use, the longer your hairstyle will last. But it is important not to overdo it, otherwise your hair will become dull and unkempt. A volume equal to the size of a tennis ball is sufficient.
  • Aerosol gels are a modern remedy that should only be applied to dry hair. The advantage of this gel is good fixation, volume creation and easy combing.
  • Foam - fixes the strands and gives them splendor. An excellent choice for those with fine hair. It is customary to apply the foam to damp hair and distribute it with a comb along the entire length of the hair.
  • Varnish - fixes the finished waves. The varnish is applied from a distance of 30 cm, otherwise it will glue the strands.

Many are attracted by the beach hair effect. It is beautiful and natural. Beach Hair Effect is sun-bleached hair with many textured and casual curls. They have a light and attractive look. Fortunately, it doesn't take a lot of effort to make yourself the same. You can easily create the beach hair look at home.

Steps

Beach hair effect with braids or buns

    Comb your hair to create beachy curls. Pigtails are one of the easiest ways to make your hair look like you just got back from the beach. When you unweave them, you should have naturally curly curls.

    Twist your hair in a bun or several buns overnight if you don't feel like braiding a lot, or don't know how to do them, or just don't have time for it. You can also get the beach hair effect with a bun.

    Use a headband. You can also create a beachy look by rolling it into a headband. It's a little more difficult to do, but the result is also pretty good.

    • Take an elastic band and put it around your head in such a way that it is in contact with your forehead. Then grab a section of hair and curl it up. Wrap your hair around the inside of the headband.
    • Repeat the process until most of your hair is curled. Apply hairspray and go to bed. As with others, this method works best if you lightly moisturize your hair overnight.

    Beach hair spray effect

    1. Spray your hair lightly with a sea salt spray. This is one of the most common ways you can get your beach hair look. You can buy sea salt spray from shops that sell beauty products. It will cost you very little.

      • The sea salt spray will add a beach-like texture to your hair. The natural beach curls that you would have after swimming in the sea are obtained with the help of salt, which is found in seawater. The salt makes the hair curl into natural curls.
      • To replicate this look with a spray, part your hair into three sections. Spray starting from the bottom. Then twist it in your hands.
      • Wait a few minutes and then repeat the same procedure for the rest of the parts. Roll the front portions of your hair around your finger before styling so that it falls nicely on the sides.

    2. Make a homemade sea salt spray. You may not find this item in the store. But it's easy enough to make it at home, and there are several ways to do this. Although you can use regular salt for this, sea salt is still better.

      • You can make a homemade sea salt spray that consists of salt, coconut oil, and water in a 1: 1: 5 ratio, respectively. Coconut oil is great for your skin and your hair and adds shine.
      • Alternatively, you can make a homemade spray with sea salt and warm water, then apply with gel or mousse to your hair and curl.
      • You can also take a small amount of hair gel or frizz-boosting cream and add to warm water along with two teaspoons of sea salt. Place everything in an empty spray container and apply to hair.

    3. Dry your hair naturally. Using a hair dryer or straightener can do a lot of damage to your hair. To have really beautiful beachy curls, your hair needs to be shiny and healthy.

      Beach hair effect using other methods

      1. Lighten your hair with lemon for a sun-bleached look. Using lemon is a natural remedy for lightening hair, and natural remedies are always better than bleaching or dyeing. Make your hair look like you've actually been in the sun - this is the key to the beach hair effect.

      2. Spend time at the beach. If you stay on it for a long time, you will acquire beach curls naturally. With the help of the sun, you will get beautiful, naturally highlighted strands.

        • Lie in the sand for a while. Walk along the coast. You want the breeze and salty moisture to get onto your hair.
        • You need to be on the beach for a while to get the look you want. Do not swim under water, otherwise the hair, when dry, will not look as it should; they will look rather messy.

      3. Do not wash your hair every day as your hair will look silky. Another way to get the beach hair effect is to not wash your hair for at least one day. This will help your hair look more textured. Freshly washed and well-groomed hair looks silky, which is not what we want.

        • When you wash your hair, do not use conditioner. Alternatively, you can apply dry shampoo to your hair. This will give them volume and an almost "dirty" look.
        • The "golden rule" is to wash your hair three times a week, as washing too often harms the hair, which produces the natural oils needed for hair growth.

      4. Use a curling iron to make your hair wavy. If you want large, natural curls, go for the Large attachment. However, curling irons is not the best way to create beach curls, as they often look too even and orderly, and the main feature of beach curls is a disheveled, natural look.

        • When using this method, your hair should be initially dry, as curling irons can damage damp hair. Part your hair into sections. Roll each strand in turn on a curling iron at a 45-degree angle. Hold for a minute, then gently release the end of the strand and let the hair slip.
        • For better control over your curls, twist each strand at a time. Start at the roots by curling your hair in a curling iron for about a minute. Then go to the central part of the strand and hold for a minute as well, and then to the end of the strand. Repeat the process with the rest of your hair.
        • For faster curls and more voluminous curls, curl large strands of hair with a curling iron and hold for about two minutes. Use your fingers to tousle your hair a little after wrapping the strands. Just do not overdo it, otherwise the curls may straighten altogether.
      • If you are making a sea salt spray at home, add a drop or two of natural lavender, rose, or peppermint oil to give it a pleasant scent.
      • This look looks more natural on a cascade haircut. Stay on long layers that frame your face, then choose one of the following for a beachy look.
      • Add accessories. Tie a flower into your hair or wear a seashell necklace.
      • Sling your hair over to the right or left side for a really beachy look.
      • Trim your hair every month to get rid of split ends. There is no need to do this more often.
      • If your hair is naturally straight and heavy, you may find it difficult to achieve the beach hair effect.

      What do you need

      • Sparse-toothed comb
      • Hair ties
      • Lemons
      • Sea salt sprays (purchased or homemade). For a homemade spray, you will need hot water, sea salt, coconut oil, a spray bottle, and possibly a curl-enhancing hair cream.

Thanks to modern devices, it is very easy to make waves on your hair at home. Let's take a look at the most popular curling methods that can be done without assistance.

Making waves with a curling iron

Curling your hair with a curling iron is easy and quick, and the result is spectacular. However, this device cannot be used on a daily basis. Under the influence of temperature, they simply cease to shine, become brittle, dry.

Before you start curling, you must fulfill the following conditions:

  • ensure clean hair, which will allow you to keep your hairstyle for a much longer period of time;
  • dry the hair so that it does not burn later;
  • use a thermal protective agent.

Now that all the conditions are met, the process begins. It is necessary to divide the hair into zones - occipital, temporal, frontal, and start creating waves in exactly the same sequence. If you don't want to spend a lot of time on this, then fix the upper strands at the crown, then curl the lower ones first, and then the upper ones.

Each strand is kept on a curling iron for 10-15 seconds. The recommended temperature on the curling iron is 100 degrees.

With the help of Velcro curlers

If suddenly there was no curling iron, then this is not a reason to be upset. The problem is solved by means of a hair dryer and Velcro curlers. The best option in this case are curlers, the diameter of which reaches 28-48 mm. Each strand of semi-dry hair must be wound on curlers, pulling them well. Use hair mousse to preserve your hair all day. This will also create sleek, tidy curls. As soon as all the strands are wound, you can turn on the hair dryer by choosing a low speed, medium temperature. After drying, it is recommended to let the hair cool down directly on the curler. If time is short, then the curls are cooled with a cold stream of air through a hair dryer. And only now you can carefully remove the Velcro.

How to do with braids

The method of curling curls with braids has advantages. Firstly, it is much safer for hair, since in this case they are not exposed to temperature effects.

In this situation, the size of the curl is determined by the number of braids. The head must be washed, dried with a towel, but not with a hairdryer (they must be damp), and combed. Now you can start braiding. The pigtails are left for 4-5 hours, and after that they are gently untwisted and lightly sprayed with varnish.

Creating curls with an iron

As it turned out, the iron is useful not only for straightening hair, but also for creating waves on it. Before the procedure, as with any other method of creating curls, you should rinse and dry them well.

To get curls, separate a narrow strand, step back a few cm from the roots and clamp it between the plates. Next, you should slowly iron to the ends of the hair, without stopping and turning 180 degrees.

The same procedure must be repeated with the rest of the hair. Now that all the strands have been ironed, they need to be combed with a comb with rare teeth and sprayed with varnish. Do not forget about the use of thermal protection products before starting all work on creating a hairstyle by means of an iron.

Improvised means

In some cases, when neither a curling iron nor an iron was at hand to create waves, you will need what is available. For example, wet wipes, tourniquets.

To curl your hair with wet wipes, divide it into two sides and the back of the head. Then a damp cloth is twisted into a tourniquet, a strand is wound on it to the root and tied in a knot. Using a wet wipe will not only create curls, but also slightly moisturize them. As a result, the effect will last much longer. After all the strands are wound, they are dried with a hairdryer at the minimum temperature. When the napkins are dry, the strands should be untwisted and fixed with varnish.

Bundles are suitable for owners of long hair. To do this, wash them thoroughly and dry them with a hair dryer. Fixing mousse is applied to slightly damp strands, then a very strong tourniquet is twisted from them. There may be more such bundles, this will allow you to get much more curls.

The resulting tourniquet is placed in one hand and ironed from the very roots. The action is repeated several times. If there are several bundles, then the procedure is repeated for each strand separately. After all the bundles have been ironed, you must allow the hair to cool and unwind. Spray the resulting hairstyle with varnish.

Choosing a fixing agent

There are many ways to fix your hairstyle. This will keep it intact throughout the day. And then everyone chooses the best option for themselves. With the correct application of the product, the hairstyle will last for a long time.

You can use mousse regardless of the length and structure of the hair. The product can be applied to both dry and damp curls. The more abundantly the product is applied, the more intense the fixation of the hairstyle will be. In this case, you should not apply an excessive amount of mousse. This will lead to dullness, sloppiness of the strands.

Another modern tool is aerosol gels. It makes it possible to create volume, fix it well, comb your hair without fear of damaging your hair.

To finally fix the resulting curls, use varnish. In order not to glue them, the product is applied from a long distance.

Every woman, regardless of hair length, can afford to create beautiful waves. There are many means, tools and methods for this. And everyone will be able to choose the most convenient option, even in an extreme situation.

A ceramic coated curling iron is ideal for this hairstyle. It is desirable that the heating temperature of the curling iron is at least 200 °. But you don't need to wind the strands for long so as not to dry your hair and ruin it.

The step-by-step actions will be as follows:

  1. Separate a wide strand from the roots. Hair must be pre-washed and dry well.
  2. Apply some mousse to the strand and wrap it around the curling iron.
  3. Hold the curling iron in an upright position for literally a minute and remove. Wait until it cools down.
  4. Wind in the same way, first the entire lower part of the hair, and then the upper one.
  5. When all the strands are rolled up and cooled, the hair can be fluffed up with your hands and sprinkled with a light to medium hold varnish.

The most beautiful waves are obtained by winding them on a large diameter curling iron. In this case, the strands must be separated sufficiently wide. Before winding up, the entire volume of hair should be divided into two parts - upper and lower, and rolled, starting from the bottom.
