Step-By-Step Beach Waves for Short Hair Tutorial

Prepare all the hair products mentioned above, curling iron and let’s begin.

Step 1. Comb your hair. Start at the ends and gradually move up to the roots. Use a texturizer for the volume. Split the hair into three sections. Let’s start from the back. Separate a strand approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 2. Apply thickening spray to add texture and fullness. Then, smooth out the section and begin to curl your hair.

Step 3. Alternate the direction of the curls with every section, as you go along. Curl one section toward your face, and then curl the other section away from your face. This way, you’ll create soft, relaxed waves.

Step 4. Follow the same steps with other sections of the hair. When the curls cool down, apply medium-fixation hairspray. The spray will hold the curls for quite a long time.

Step 5. Gently brush the curls until you are happy with the way it looks.

Step 6. Smooth out the ends with the gel. Be careful; use just a little bit of it or your hair will stick together.

Step 7. Run your fingers through your hair to help give the hairstyle a little shape. And, you’re done! Your beautiful and natural-looking beach waves are ready for the public.
