Lately, I’ve been sporting the beach-wave messy pony/bun look to give it that extra oomf. While I’m no tutorial champ (and no YouTube because we all know I can talk forever), I’ve teamed up with kissproducts nonetheless excited to share my tips on how to nail one of my favorite hair looks.
Okay, so start off with your hair straightened. For me, that’s an #iwokeuplikethis look, but some have got to whip out the straightener.
Next - it’s time to pull out your favorite curler. I personally recommend a curling wand, specifically the KISS Products InstaWave (#tbbapproved). I love this curler because all the magic happens with just the push of a button, instantly creating as loose/tight of curls as you want without feeling like you’ve been doing “arm day” for 30 minutes in front of the mirror (totally hypothetical, of course). The InstaWave is really easy to use from any angle, creates tangle-free curls, and features a dope curl dial, meaning that the barrel turns in left/right directions with the push of a button. It also has smart-tech heat settings (low and high), based on how tight you wish the curls to be (think of it as such - the lower, the looser). The rest of this “tutorial” will continue based on using the InstaWave, although you can TOTALLY follow along if you’re using a different curling wand.
Here’s the trick - put your straightened hair in a ponytail. I’m usually on the go when I curl my hair, so this is such a time-saver, and prevents me from having to search my whole head for uncurled hairs and getting tangled up in the process.
Alright - take a inch-section of hair. Hold your InstaWave curler vertically (KEY!). Simply place (or wrap) the hair section on the curling rod, then push the button for left/right, letting InstaWave automatically catch and curl the hair in the desired direction. For beachy waves, hold about 6-7 seconds and then pull the curler down, letting the curl fall out. To keep it natural, make sure you switch directions - this also prevents your hair from looking like one big curl.
Watch below to get an idea of what I mean:
Keep your curls up in a pony or untie them, but either way running your fingers through. If you got tighter curls than you wished, just brush them out a bit and you’ll be right back on track. And now, you look 100% beach-babe certified!
Hope you had as much fun curling as I did sharing this with you! I’d love to see your finished-product photos - share them with me via Instagram / Twitter (#tbbkissmywaves) or send them to me via [email protected]!
