How do I make beach waves in your hair with a flat iron?
Beach waves are a great way to add some volume and texture to your hair, and they're perfect for summer. Here's how to create beach waves with a flat iron:
- Start with dry, brushed hair.
- Section your hair into small sections, about 1-2 inches wide.
- Clamp the flat iron onto the hair section, about 2 inches from the roots.
- Rotate the flat iron 180 degrees, so that the plates are facing down.
- Slowly pull the flat iron down the hair section, while keeping the plates closed.
- Repeat steps 3-5 for each section of hair.
- Once you've finished, use your fingers to separate the waves and add some volume.
- Finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold the waves in place.
Here are some tips for creating beach waves with a flat iron:
- Use a flat iron with a wide barrel, at least 1.5 inches.
- Don't clamp the flat iron too tightly onto the hair, or you'll create creases.
- Pull the flat iron down the hair section slowly, or you'll end up with straight hair.
- Be careful not to overlap the sections too much, or you'll create a bulky look.
- Use a light mist of hairspray to hold the waves in place, but don't overdo it, or you'll end up with crunchy hair.
