Beach curls

A favorite solution ✅ of many fashionistas is charming beach curls. 🌴 Such styling not only noticeably refreshes the lady's look, 👱🏻‍♀️ but also makes it more positive, light and welcoming. ✨ Not only young girls, but also women of a more respectable age often turn to such options.

What do beach curls look like?

Among the wide variety of hairstyles, young girls and older women often choose beach curls - a well-known styling that is characterized by spectacular oval-shaped curls.

When creating this original hairstyle, it is important to keep in mind that the curls in it should not be too defined and tight.

So, the effect of beach curls always coexists with slight negligence, so it is just ideal for windy weather, which is almost always observed off the coast of water bodies. Charming beach waves, curls that flow beautifully, framing a woman's face, should not be too conspicuous or attract too much attention.

They smoothly and harmoniously fit into everyday and elegant women's images, neatly complementing and completing them.

Who will go to beach curls?

Before you run to the hairdresser with inspiration, so that they "conjure" over your hair and turn it into beach curls, you should figure out who is most suitable for them. The main distinguishing feature of this stylish styling is the absence of restrictions. Properly styled beach curls will suit almost every fashionista.

The strands can be either short or elongated. However, according to stylists, this hairstyle looks best on light or red hair.

It is advisable for brunettes to give preference to such styling, where the curls are made more clearly defined and neat - such nuances can emphasize the depth of dark tones.

As for the structure and facial features, there are no serious frameworks here either. In most cases, beach curls look attractive regardless of the shape of the lady's face. Many girls are interested in whether such an interesting hairstyle, like surf curls, will look harmonious in all settings.

Stylists assure that you can calmly turn to beach curls, even if it is not a hot summer outside, but any other time of the year.

What is required for styling?

The surfer's charming curls radiating positive and light can be made at home. There is no need to visit the hairdresser every time to give your hair such a beautiful and flirty shape. At the same time, you do not have to pick up expensive special products in stores. The described styling is done in different ways, therefore, different means are used for this.

Let's take a closer look at what components a fashionista will need in order to independently give her hair the shape of playful beach curls.

• Hair dryer. If this device is used, and with it the cone-shaped nozzle (concentrator), then the hair should always be perfectly clean and slightly damp.First, they are treated with lemon spray or egg white. Then the strands are twisted in random order and dried thoroughly with a hair dryer.
• Styler. This is another popular tool for making beach curls quick and easy. To do this, first, the hair is washed and dried. It is advisable to achieve such an effect that outwardly the hair seems completely dry, but inside it still remains a little damp. Further, a thermal protective compound and a spray for fixing are applied to the strands, and then any convenient method is chosen - they straighten the hair, tied up in pigtails, or they only manage with an iron.

• Curling iron. Often, young ladies prefer to make luxurious beach curls using a good old curling iron. This option is especially suitable for owners of short haircuts.
• Spray. Such hair styling is not complete without a spray. You will need it, since the strands should always be slightly damp. You can use a saline hair spray or a low hold hairspray. It happens that these components are not in the arsenal of a fashionista. In this case, a simple hair foam will be enough.
• Texture spray. This component can come in handy too. It will be needed to fix the resulting effect on the strands. In addition, with it, beach curls become more persistent and attractive.
• Headband. Some fashionistas prefer to do this trendy styling using a headband. It is worn in such a way that it covers a part of the lady's forehead. Next, you just need to select one curl at a time, twist and wrap around the inner half of the bandage.

Stylists and experienced hairdressers recommend fashionistas not to forget about the safety and health of their hair. You should not use curling irons, hair dryers or iron too often, as these tools affect the strands of high temperatures.

The latter have never positively affected the curls, on the contrary, due to such an effect, the hair can begin to dry out strongly, lose the brightness of the color and begin to be severely split.

You shouldn't use an iron or curling iron every day if you care about the condition of your mop. In addition, before starting to work with these devices, the hair must be treated with special protective compounds.

How to do styling at home

There are tons of hairstyle secrets, of course, there is an option to go to the salon for a certain price. But why waste money when you can do it yourself. Here are just a few styling secrets.

Curls with salt water

Professional stylists use special expensive means based on sea salt for such purposes, but why spend money if you can do everything from inexpensive improvised means. Here's how you can do it:

For the spray we need:

1. spray bottle;
2. sea ​​salt 1 tsp;
3. a glass of warm water;
4. styling gel - 1/3 tsp;
5. coconut oil 20 gr.

Dilute salt in warm water, mix well and pour into a bottle. It is imperative to add coconut oil to the solution, this is necessary in order to protect the hair from the negative effects of the saline solution. Pour styling gel into the bottle and stir well, closing with a spray cap at the end.

At this point, our tool is ready, you can start creating a hairstyle:

On clean and dry hair, apply a spray along the entire length of the hair so that it becomes damp, but not wet.
We divide the curls into strands and squeeze them slightly with our hands, each strand for 1-2 minutes. The result is light and slightly sloppy waves.

Important! Never comb your hair with a fine-toothed comb. Only after the curls are dry can they be lightly smoothed or brushed with a wide-toothed comb.

Beautiful braids hairstyle

This is a great option for those who want to wake up in the morning, do almost nothing and get a beautiful styling.To do this, before going to bed, you need to wash your hair well, braids need to be braided over slightly damp hair.

1. Hair should be divided into 5–8 parts (the more braids, the smaller the wave) and braided into tight braids.
2. The closer you start to weaving from the roots, the more beautiful the styling will be. Getting up in the morning, you should loosen the braids, but in no case do you need to comb them, it is enough to carefully separate them with your hands. In order for the curls to last longer, you need to apply a fixing agent.

Using a curling iron

For these purposes, forceps of large diameter are best suited, they do not look so natural on small curls. In addition, we need a fixing tool.

In order to make a "beach" hairstyle with a curling iron you need:

1. Wash and dry your hair thoroughly.
2. Divide hair into strands (10-12) and pin them up.
3. Each curl, in turn, is wound on tongs, but what is important is not clamped, at an angle of 45 degrees, for 40-50 seconds.
4. Finished curls need to be gently tousled and secured with gel or varnish.

Attention! This method is not suitable for dry and weakened hair, otherwise your hair will deteriorate even more. Choose gentle methods such as braids.

Delicate styling with a beam

1. Making beach curls with a bun is an alternative to braiding, for those who do not know how. The principle is very similar, clean hair is divided into strands of about 6-8 and twisted into flagella, fixed on the head with hairpins or elastic bands.
2. In the morning, the bundles need to be dissolved, and given a shape, slightly crumpled each with your hands, and then secured with special means for better fixation.
3. When using varnish, you do not need to overdo it; such styling should have a slightly sloppy look, no clear lines. If you do not have a weak fixing varnish, you can make such a tool yourself. To do this, you need to dissolve a tablespoon of sugar in 100 ml of warm water - you get an excellent tool for long-term fixation, cheap and effective.

Doing a hairstyle with an iron

There are two ways to make sea curls with an iron:

1. Divide the hair into strands, and then, stepping back 5 cm from the hair roots, wind it on an iron.
2. Having twisted the curl to the middle, we begin to pull them out, from top to bottom.
3. Thus, we wind our head, at the end not forgetting to sprinkle the curls with varnish for good fixation.
4. The second method is quite simple and gives the same effect as from braids, but for this you do not have to walk with them all day. All you need is to braid your hair into braids (they should not be thin or thick) and heat each of them with an iron for a minute. Finished curls should be slightly fluffed up with your hands and fixed with varnish.

So that the hair does not suffer from excessive and private heating, a special thermal protection agent must first be applied to it.

Such a hairstyle can be done quite calmly on your own, without using expensive means and without spending a lot of time. This styling will look good on any hair, even on a square, but it looks especially advantageous on a cascade.

Beach curls will be equally appropriate to make both during a vacation and at a party, decorate them with a beautiful hairpin and you can go on a date. The main advantage of such styling is that it can be done in 5-10 minutes.

How long do beach curls last?

The traditional variation of the hairstyle, which you can do with your own hands at home, lasts only until the next shampooing. As a rule, it retains an attractive appearance only until the evening, and the very next day requires a light correction, which is performed using a special cream.

Meanwhile, modern hairdressing masters are able to offer the fair sex a “long-lasting” version of this hairstyle, which will allow you to get elastic and natural curls for 6-8 weeks.

A similar service in studios and beauty salons is called the beach waves effect and is the application of a mixture of two components to the strands, one of which gives the hair a wavy texture, and the other protects it from the inside. When choosing this styling option, it is worth considering that beach curls on dark hair hold slightly worse than on light hair - in this case, the result will have to be constantly maintained with the help of a styling agent.

Beach curls for long hair

There are many different ways to create beach curls for long hair, but the most ideal method is to create beautiful and tight waves with a hot iron. To do this, it is necessary to pre-treat the hair with a special protective agent that will protect it from the negative effects of high temperatures, then carefully divide the entire shock of strands into equal parts and twist them into a kind of flagella.

Further, along the harnesses, you need to carry out a hot iron, holding the device in one place for a few seconds.

In addition, beach curls for long hair can be created in other ways - using braids or buns, an ordinary curling iron or curling irons. On long strands, you can wind papillotes, which are long curlers, or sprinkle them with salt water and, dividing them into strands, squeeze them with your hands several times.

Beach curls for medium hair

For medium-length hair, all the same methods are suitable as for long strands, however, laying beach curls on medium hair is somewhat more difficult and, moreover, the effect lasts for less time. In order not to be disappointed with the result, stylists advise girls with medium length hair to seek professional help or to use abundantly styling and protective products.

Beach curls for short hair

On short hair, beach curls are styled using tongs or curling irons, the size of which corresponds to the expected size of the curl. In addition, in this case, you will also need a lot of special tools and tools - a comfortable comb, modeling spray, gel or varnish for fixing the hairstyle. Owners of short hair must adhere to the following sequence of actions:

1. Wash and dry hair thoroughly. All strands must be completely dry.
2. Using a comb, divide the hair into many strands of equal thickness.
3. Gently wrap each strand around the working plane of the forceps, maintaining a rotation angle of about 45 degrees.
4. Hold each strand on the working surface for about a minute and release the curl, allowing it to slide freely off the curling iron.
5. Repeat the procedure until all the hair has been curled.
6. Using your fingers, gently ruffle all the strands and highlight the waves, securing them with a special mousse or spray.
7. Fix the hairstyle with a little hairspray.

Voluminous beach curls

A huge number of the fair sex lacks the volume of their hair, as a result of which the hair looks too thin, weak and lifeless. These strands will not be attractive even in the case of a beach style - they need to add volume to make them much more attractive.

This effect can be achieved in many different ways, for example:

1. do beach curls for medium or long hair with preliminary twisting of the strands into flagella;

Beach curls on a bob car

The bob-bob hairstyle does not lose its relevance for many years in a row. Nevertheless, many young ladies want to diversify their appearance, adding freshness and originality to it. An excellent solution for this would be beach curls on a square, which can be created using a curling iron or iron.

This installation is carried out as follows:

1. Comb the strands well and separate the bottom section by pinning the top with a hairpin or clip.
2. Separate one strand to fit the expected curls.
3. Lubricate a strand with a little foam or mousse and pinch the tip between the hot plates of the curling iron.
4. Gently wind the strand onto the device, not reaching the roots, about 1 centimeter.
5. Repeat the procedure with the strands remaining at the bottom, making sure that each new curl is located under the previous one.
6. Remove the clip from the top of the head of hair and twist all the strands from this area.
7. Comb the head lightly with a wide-toothed comb and fix the hairdo with varnish.

Beach curls with straight ends

Unusually beautiful beach curls with straight ends give the image of the fair sex femininity, unique charm and charm. The length of the straight section in such a hairstyle can be different - the long straight end makes it playful and mischievous, and the short one makes it elegant and sophisticated.

It is not at all difficult to make such a styling - you need to use a curling iron or iron, but during work, do not bring the device to the very end, leaving a straight section. Meanwhile, the difficulty may lie in the fact that the length of the straight section on all strands must be the same, which is not always easy to achieve.

Beach curls with bangs

Often, women's hair is complemented by bangs, which can be very diverse - long or short, even or asymmetrical, straight or oblique. In the case of choosing elongated front strands, it can be wound similarly to the main head of hair, while a short bang always retains its original appearance.

Beach curls on the hair look especially bright and original in combination with thick straight bangs, which clearly stands out against the general background of the hairstyle.

Beach curls for a wedding

Stylish beach curls are perfect for creating a wedding hairstyle that will highlight the beauty, youth and charm of the young bride. Loose strands look especially good in the summer look of a young lady who chose a ceremony on the seashore. Meanwhile, they will look great in a classic look based on a luxurious fluffy dress.

In this case, stylists recommend arranging beach curls in a neat bun, leaving a few strands on both sides of the face.

Accessories for styling beach curls

To create a beach style, in addition to styling products, you will need accessories:

1. curling iron;
2. iron;
3. comb with sparse teeth;
4. papillotes;
5. hairpins and hairpins;
6. elastic bands (for braids);
7. spray bottle (for preparing sea spray).

Simple life hacks

As a rule, the idea of ​​creating a new hairstyle or styling appears spontaneously, so the necessary fixing means may not be at hand. If you do not have a saline spray or cannot find such a product in the store, it is very easy to do at home:

1. Take two cups of warm water;
2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt (preferably seafood grade);
3. Heat the coconut oil and add 1 tablespoon to the resulting liquid;
4. Take 10 grams of any hair gel or other fixing agent and mix with the rest of the ingredients.

The resulting solution is the saline spray. Then it can be sprayed onto the hair with a spray bottle or simply applied to the strands by hand. Next, move on to the second step of creating beach waves - braid and dry your hair.

If you decide to use a diffuser for your beach curls, treat only the lower part of your hair (about 10-20 cm to the ends). Such a nozzle makes the strands more expressive, so it is important not to overdo it with waves.

You can also create the effect of light summer styling using a regular iron. Heat it to a temperature of no more than 60 degrees. Divide your hair into two and braid each hair in a tight braid. Then, iron your hair until it warms up.

Loosen the strands and separate them slightly with your fingers. To preserve the natural shine of your hair, I recommend using any heat protectant or leave-in oil.

Tips from professionals

Before we look at how to curl curls on a square, let's get acquainted with the advice of professional hairdressers:

1. The most suitable for styling are manageable, porous, soft hair. If you are the owner of thick, smooth, straight hair, then you will have to suffer, use means for maximum fixation of the styling. However, even they do not always guarantee a satisfactory result.
2. Bangs - wind up or leave straight? It all depends on the styling you choose. If these are sloppy waves, the bangs are curled and laid to one side. With African curls, leave straight. In some cases, they simply stab them, make them invisible.
3. Styling only clean hair! Otherwise, you can get the effect of untidy greasy strands. After shampooing, be sure to use conditioner or balm, make a nourishing mask. If hot styling is to be done, the hair should be moisturized and protected.
4. Do not comb your curls after curling so that they do not fall apart.
5. Don't wear a hat either. If it's cold outside, warm yourself with a scarf, scarf or hood.
6. Do not overdo it with varnish, so as not to create a semblance of a wig on your head.
7. The larger the curls, the more miniature accessories should adorn you. But with small curls, the opposite is true.
8. When using an iron, curling iron, heat rollers, always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not set the maximum temperature regime! You can easily burn your scalp or severely ruin your hair.
