What do you need

1 Dampen your hair and dry it slightly with a towel. You can wash your hair with shampoo or use a spray to moisturize it slightly, and then gently dry it with a towel. Remember, your hair should be damp, not wet.

Some people get much better results if they don't wash their hair for a couple of days. The natural sebum secreted by the scalp will help you create your look.

2 Apply some curly cream to your hair. This move is especially useful if you just washed your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Spread some of the cream evenly from roots to ends while your hair is still damp.

3 Divide your hair into two sections. Separate them in the same way as you do when braiding. As a result, you should have two equal pieces of hair at the back of your head.

4 Twist the two pieces together. Twist your hair into a tight bundle, starting at the back of the head and ending at the ends. Secure the tourniquet with a hair elastic.

If your hair is thick enough, divide it into four sections and twist the sections in pairs.

5 Attach the end of the tourniquet to the crown of your head. Use hairpins or bobby pins to secure the tourniquet.

6 Let your hair dry completely. You can go to bed and leave them to dry overnight, and in case you do your hair during the day, you can wait about 4-6 hours until your hair is dry. If you loosen the tourniquet before it dries completely, the waves will quickly disintegrate.

7 Dissolve the flagella. Gently run the falling waves through your fingers to shape them.

8 Apply a hair spray or a special spray that contains sea salt. You can use a sea salt spray for a truly nautical look, or you can simply spray on some regular hair spray to help keep your waves going all day.

You can make your own sea salt spray at home. To do this, you need to mix one glass of water with one teaspoon of sea salt. The amount of sea salt can vary depending on the desired spray consistency.

Method 2 of 2: Curling your hair with braids

1 Moisturize your hair. You need to wash your hair with shampoo or use a spray to moisturize your hair along the entire length. And remember to keep your hair only slightly damp, not damp.
2 Apply hair curler. Distribute the required amount of product along the entire length of the hair, from roots to ends. This will help the waves to form while your hair dries.
3 Part in the center. Use a comb to keep the parting perfectly straight. Your hair should be divided into two equal sections, one on each side.
4 Braid your hair. Separate a small amount of hair from one section and divide it into three sections. Start braiding. Each time you weave a new section, separate a small amount of hair and weave it into the braid. Secure the braid with a hair elastic. Repeat the same with the rest on the other side.
- If you want the waves to start from the very roots, then it is better to give preference to a French braid than an ordinary one.
5 Let your hair dry. Make sure both of your braids are tight and secure, and allow them to dry for four to five hours, or better yet, let them dry overnight. This way, you can be sure that your hair will be completely dry and that each hair will in turn retain its perfect wavy shape.
6 Unwind your braids. As you undo the braids, gently separate one section from the other, and then gently run your hair through your fingers to shake the resulting waves and add volume.
7 Apply a sea salt spray or a simple hair spray. You can use a little styling spray or mousse to set your hair in, especially if you have naturally straight hair.

Tips

Always use a wide-toothed comb when combing wet hair. Using this comb, you protect your hair from brittleness, because wet strands are very fragile.
Do not rush to part with wavy strands, leave your hair for at least four hours. You can even leave it on overnight, as the beach wave hairstyle is not only a win-win but also protects your hair!
Make sure all clips and hair ties are soft and loose enough to protect the ends of your braids. Pay attention to the fabric elastic bands, they absolutely do not damage the hair.
Try applying some leave-in conditioner to the ends and lengths of your hair before braiding.
Use a light hold polish or light hold mousse if you want your hairstyle to look even prettier and last as long as possible.

Warnings

Do not pull your hair too tight, this can lead to breakage, splitting and can cause hair loss and thinning. This rule also applies to tight tails.
Never use a hair tie with a metal clip. These rubber bands tend to break down and split the hair. Always try to give preference to soft factory gum or use fabric "scrunch".
Avoid using hair brushes or fine-toothed combs on wet hair. Wet or damp hair is much weaker than dry and easily damaged, so always use wide-toothed combs.
