Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, the process of creating beach waves is done with a curling iron or hair straightener, says Izquierdo. But if you don’t want the heat damage, he says you can also try getting heatless beach waves by braiding damp hair in pigtails and allowing it to air-dry. Then—if you’re okay with a lil bit of heat—he recommends “lightly clamping your flat iron down each braid.” It’s not required, but it does “help set the braid-wave pattern and ensure a consistent wave,” says Izquierdo. Start with a texturizing base Most wavers consist of 2 or 3 barrels that press your hair into sunken groves to form waves. In most cases, you don’t even need to section your hair using clips or pins. Just take hold of a bunch of strands, put them through the waver and move on to the next one.

A waver actually works pretty much like a curling iron or a hair straightener. The only difference is that it is much more effective when you are creating waves. Compared to a curling iron or a flat iron, a waver is easy to use and works through your hair in no time. If you are looking for extra deep waves, try this hair waver.

For instance, you can style your hair into beach waves by wrapping it on top of the barrels or create spherical bohemian curls by wrapping your hair between the barrels. You can play around with different methods to produce a variety of unique styles. If you have longer hair, you can use a hair waver with larger barrels (see: around three inches). However, if you have shorter hair, using too large of a hair waver can be (a) difficult or (b) cause you to burn yourself. The solution? Use a hair waver with smaller barrels (try Bed Head A Wave We Go Adjustable Deep Waver), but in this case, note that some smaller barrels may create tighter waves. If you prefer the more undone wave look, use a single barrel hair waver, like the Hot Tools Professional Nano Ceramic Deep Waver. Prep your hair properlyContinue down the section of hair until it is all waved (as a tip, try to line up the first barrel with the last wave you made, for a continuous wave down the hair shaft). First, section off a one-inch strip of hair, work a dollop of curl cream through it, then flat-twist until you’ve reached the halfway point. When you hit the midway point, split the two sections of hair into three, and finish with a three-strand twist-out all the way to the end.
