If in regards to the hairstyles, the 2000s have largely been characterized by extreme smoothness, certainly for some time now the waves are the masters. With the arrival of summer, it is above all a trend to impose itself, that of beach waves.
What are beach waves
Literally “Beach waves”, the beach waves identify the typical hair of summer, the ones that make it look as you have just come out of the sea. Sexy and wild at the same time, they adapt to any type of look and situation, from the seashore where they were born, to the summer evenings, marinas and towns. Their secret, in fact, is dadd a casual chic image that does not look bad in any place or time.
There are some lucky girls who can boast natural waves, but for all the others, reproducing the beach waves means putting yourself in the expert hands of the hairdresser or spending some time in front of the mirror, equipped with hairdryer, straightener or curling iron.
A beautiful fatigue and a notable one sweaty, especially in the summer months, when the beach waves become super trendy but, at the same time, the idea of spending even just a minute with the hairdryer heat in hand makes us horrified.
But what if we told you that there are ways to create perfect beach waves staying away from heat sources that, in addition to making you sweat over time, ruin your hair? Do not you believe it? Try these 3 solutions.
Experiment with the robe belt
This super original method comes from the world of Tik Tok and Instagram and maybe you have happened to see it in the videos of some celebrity or beauty influencer. Making it is really simple and seems to promise fabulous results and completely similar to those given by plates and the like.
All the steps to put it into practice
To do beach waves with a bathrobe belt you need to first wash your hair and dry them, leaving them however slightly humid.
Before proceeding, spray a styling product, which will later help to better fix your waves and maintain them over time.
Then take the belt of your terry bathrobe and put it over your head, like a headband. Then divide the hair into locks, of the desired size depending on how wide you want your waves. Bring them to both sides of the face and totwists each of them at his belt, making them pass from top to bottom, creating a sort of spiral.
Arrived at the end, secure each end with rubber bands.
Wait and go to sleep
Leave everything posing for a night whole and, in the morning, free gently the locks from the rope of the bathrobe.
You should get some pretty tight curls, open them with your fingers and, if needed, fix everything with a sprinkle of lacquer.
Choose the torchon method
But the ways to create heat-free beach waves didn’t end there. Another super promoted is that of torchon.
Also in this case, wash your hair, dry them and leave them slightly moist.
Then divide your hair into sections of more or less the same width, neither too big nor too small. After having them individually rolled on themselves, starting from the top of the head, start twisting them together, forming a spiral. Secure them on your head with one or more bobby pins so that they stay in place.
At this point you just have to wait a few hours that the hair dries and takes the shape you gave them. After the necessary time, open the torchon and runs your fingers through your hair to modulate the waves.
Secure everything with the lacquer, a styling product or, if you want to recreate the effect of sea water on your hair even more, a little coconut oil.
If you have very long or voluminous hair you can do it two torchon instead of just one.
Also, to create a neater and symmetrical effect, you can roll a section in one direction and the one next to it in the opposite.
Make your braids
The latest technique for making beach waves without heat is probably the best known: make your braids.
Hairstyle often used when we want to look tidy despite the hair being not exactly wow, the braid can also be perfect for creating summer waves.
In this case you can choose whether to do the braids with wet or dry hair, taking into account that in the first case the wait to admire your beach waves will be longer.
How to do it
Stand in front of the mirror and decide the width you want to give yours waves. If you like them to read or just hint, make a single braid, or at most divide your hair into two parts. If you want a beach waves instead tending to curly armed with patience, divide your hair into smaller sections and dedicates a braid to each of them.
Wait patiently a few hours, make sure they are all dry, melt them and rock your beach waves in the sun.
