The Beach Waves Technique: Curl and Pull The Products:
1.25-inch Curling Iron
Dry Shampoo
Beach Spray
The How-To: "Naturally straight hair needs a bit of extra love when it comes to getting beach waves," says Townsend. "Instead of the double barrel iron, I use my 1.25-inch GHD curling iron." Section you hair into small/medium sections (depending on the density of your hair), and spray it with dry shampoo. "Next, wrap your hair around the iron starting from the top and going down," he explains. "Hold your section in the iron for a few seconds before releasing it." If your hair doesn't hold a curl, leave it as is. Otherwise, use your fingers to pull the curl straight for a hot second to get wavy texture. Finish it off with a beach wave spray for additional texture.
