How to Create Beach Waves at Home: A Tousled Look with GHD Curling Iron and Wella Products
Beach waves are the epitome of effortless beauty—soft, tousled, and versatile enough for any occasion. This relaxed look, inspired by windswept hair after a day by the ocean, is easy to achieve at home with the right tools and products. Using a GHD curling iron and Wella’s professional hair care line, you can create gorgeous, long-lasting waves while keeping your hair healthy and shiny. Here’s your step-by-step guide.
What Are Beach Waves?
Beach waves are loose, natural-looking curls that add texture, movement, and volume to your hair. The beauty of this style lies in its undone vibe, making it perfect for both casual outings and glamorous events.
Why GHD Curling Irons and Wella Products?
•GHD Curling Irons: GHD’s tools are known for their innovative technology, offering even heat distribution and protecting your hair from excessive damage. The medium-barrel curling iron is ideal for achieving soft, uniform waves.
•Wella Products: Wella’s high-performance range of hair care and styling products complements this look perfectly, ensuring your hair stays nourished, shiny, and frizz-free.
How to Create Beach Waves at Home
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Prepping your hair is essential for long-lasting, healthy beach waves. Here’s what you need:
1.Cleanse and Nourish: Start by washing your hair with Wella Professionals Invigo Nutri-Enrich Shampoo and Conditioner. This duo deeply hydrates and nourishes your hair, leaving it silky and manageable.
2.Heat Protection: Before styling, apply Wella EIMI Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray. It shields your hair from heat damage and adds a smooth, polished finish.
3.Add Texture: Spritz Wella EIMI Ocean Spritz Salt Spray onto damp hair. This product is perfect for enhancing texture and giving your hair that tousled, beachy vibe.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
1.Divide your hair into sections to make styling easier and more uniform.
2.Clip away the top layers, starting with the lower sections.
Step 3: Curl Your Hair
1.Hold the Iron Vertically: Wrap a small section of hair (about 1 inch) around your GHD curling iron, holding the barrel vertically. Leave the ends out for a more casual look.
2.Alternate Directions: For natural-looking waves, alternate the direction of each curl—wrap one piece away from your face and the next toward your face.
3.Timing: Hold each section around the barrel for 5–8 seconds, depending on your hair’s thickness. GHD’s even heat distribution ensures smooth, consistent curls.
Step 4: Perfect the Waves
1.Cool and Set: Allow your curls to cool completely before touching them. This helps them set and last longer.
2.Loosen Up: Gently run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the curls to break them up and create that signature tousled look.
3.Add Shine: Use Wella EIMI Glam Mist Shine Spray for a glossy, polished finish that doesn’t weigh your hair down.
4.Set the Style: Finish with Wella EIMI Stay Styled Hairspray for a flexible hold that keeps your waves intact without making them stiff.
Pro Tips for Perfect Beach Waves
•Start Below the Roots: Curling a few inches down from your scalp creates a more relaxed, natural wave.
•Focus on the Ends: Leaving the ends straighter gives that signature undone vibe.
•Refresh with Dry Shampoo: On second-day hair, use Wella EIMI Dry Me Dry Shampoo to add volume and texture.
•Customize the Look: Adjust the size of your curling sections and the curling iron barrel to create tighter or looser waves, depending on your preference.
