VIDEO: How To Get Beachy Waves Using a Curling Wand

September 25, 2014

So, couple things.

1. The video quality is horrid. Blame my computer. I’m hoping I can figure out how to use my actual camera with a voiceover or whatever for the next one, if there ever is a next one!

2.  I did this in 10 minutes. So, yeah.

3. It’s awful.

BUT! I have a hair tutorial for you nonetheless! Today I’m showing you exactly how I get beachy waves with my curling wand in UNDER 10 minutes. Yes it’s for real.

Bookmark this! A quick and easy video teaching you how to get beachy waves using a curling wand!

Okay so a few more things.

How To Get Beachy Waves

1. I’m using this curling wand. It’s bomb, and cheap.

2. I wash my hair at night, let it air dry, and sleep on it. I don’t use a blow dryer.

3. I will touch up the hair around my face with a straightener if it’s really crazy in the morning, but that takes like 2 seconds.

4. As I curl, I’m a weirdo and hold my hair in my mouth instead of with a clip. Don’t ask why, it’s just what I do.

5. I love you all.

Also, here is a link to a previous post on my favorite hair products. 🙂

Enjoy!

    Love the tutorial, thank you! I’m still using a curling iron so it might be time to switch! I’m also a working momma of a 4 month old (whom I love dearly) but holy hair loss…my husband is ready to buy stock in Drano it’s so bad. Any advice on dealing with that? Thanks again, love your blog!

      HAHA, yes! The Drano! No advice on saving your hair :/ I just tried to avoid blow drying as much as I can, which is why I started letting it air dry! Not looking forward to when it’s time for round 2! Lol

    I love this tutorial!! I am glad I came across your blog! My hair is terrible about holding a curl (it’s thick & super straight) but I have never used a wand so I definitely want to give this a try! What is the brand of yours? Also, do you use any products in your hair to hold the waves?

      Hi Lauren! I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049WUFMS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0049WUFMS&linkCode=as2&tag=froourhidpl00-20&linkId=JULM6EGVEB556M6M

      I don’t use anything to hold my waves because they hold pretty well on their own! But on high humidity days, I have used this gel: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GI3TZ4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000GI3TZ4&linkCode=as2&tag=froourhidpl00-20&linkId=DXILV4VVYKBS3PZM

      and this hairspray: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YACKO0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000YACKO0&linkCode=as2&tag=froourhidpl00-20&linkId=5VXACJDJI3OU5Q4Q

      They work great! Hope that helps 🙂

    Thanks for the tutorial! I love the comment about being a nurse and not wanting to go to bed with whatever your brought home with you! I was a hospice nurse myself before staying home with the kiddos. Thanks again!

      I crank it up allllll the way! Probably bad for my hair, but I only hold it there for a couple seconds anyway!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! Up until now I hadn’t found a realistic beach wave tutorial that worked on my hair at all. I just did this to my hair for a party I’m going to tonight and I absolutely love it! I can’t wait to share it with everyone! Plus, it’ll be super easy for me to do before school in the mornings!

    Your tutorial is really good and easy to do, you are also super funny and I enjoyed a ton. I have really thick frizzy hair, is an in between cause it’s kind of wavy but not super wavy and not super straight either, I was considering doing a Japanese straightening but I’m not sure. Do you have any tips? Thanks a lot!

    Hi, Lauren! I love your styles. May I ask, what heat temperature do you set on your curling wand?

    Thank you!

    loving your tutorial, you mentioned washing your hair at night and not blowdrying your hair? What’s your process for that? Do you brush it? Use any product? Towel dry it? or go to bed with it wet? Im interested in your process, as I also prefer to wash my hair in the evenings.
    thanks!
