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:

  1. Start with dry, brushed hair.
  2. Section your hair into small sections, about 1-2 inches wide.
  3. Clamp the flat iron onto the hair section, about 2 inches from the roots.
  4. Rotate the flat iron 180 degrees, so that the plates are facing down.
  5. Slowly pull the flat iron down the hair section, while keeping the plates closed.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each section of hair.
  7. Once you've finished, use your fingers to separate the waves and add some volume.
  8. 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.
