The Best Low-Maintenance, Beach Waves: How-To and Products to Use
On April 9, 2021 by Megan FolsomWhen you’re a mom, hair styles that are low maintenance and almost impossible to mess up are KEY. With babies yanking at your hair, toddlers getting stick fingers stuck in there and kids wanting you to run around with them, it can get tricky.
My go-to hair style is a super low-maintenance beach wave. It’s quick and easy to do and even easier to maintain until it’s hair washing day again (which is about a week, for me). They hold SO well, and – even better – I can stick my hair up in a quick pony or bun if needed and they don’t get messed up!!
These waves take me 10 minutes or less to do, and they look super cute and effortless! What else could you want in a hairstyle?!
Products You’ll Want:
- Hair Waver
- Brush (my favorite boar-bristle one)
- Mousse
- Heat Protectant
- Cord Hair Ties
- Frizz control
How To Do Easy Beach Waves:
- Wash and dry your hair. I usually air-dry mine, and it’s actually perfect for this hairstyle!
- Brush it out.
- Apply heat protectant spray
- Use the waver on sections of your hair
- Let it sit for a few minutes to set the heat.
- Apply a tiny bit of mousse or hairspray. I personally don’t love the feeling of hairspray as much, so I always use mousse). This just helps hold the waves longer.
- Live your life and touch up if needed (I rarely ever do!).
- You can apply frizz control or a tiny bit of mousse in the mornings as needed!
