Celebrity Hairstyle: How to Get Beach Wave Celebrity Hairstyles

Nothing says summer like a hairstyle with beach inspired waves. If you can't make it to the beach but want to look like you just came in from the surf try faking it with an at home version. This hairstyle will work best on long hair that is naturally straight or with slight wave to it.


Begin this hairstyle on hair that is only slightly damp as wet hair will take too long to dry. Starting at the bottom portion of your hair grab a small section, approximately one inch by one inch and apply a volumizing spray.

Now wrap the section around your finger and begin to twist. Keep twisting the hair section until it is twisted all the way up to the roots of your hair.

Coil the section into a pin curl (a large circle) and place a small amount of tissue paper on top of the coil; this will prevent a dent from forming when you secure the coil to your head with a large bobby pin.

Continue to repeat this procedure until all of your hair is done. If you have fine hair you should end up with approximately ten sections while thicker hair may have upwards of twenty.

Let your hair completely dry. Air drying is best but if you're in a hurry you can speed up the process by giving the coils quick blasts of a blow dryer. Just don't overdo it with the drier as it may cause your hair to become flyaway or give it frizz.


You can now remove the pins and very gently unroll the coils. Try to avoid handling them as much as possible to keep the waves intact. If you wish you can mist your hair with a light shine enhancing product for a healthy sheen. It's best to skip the hair spray though, as this hairstyle is meant to look natural and free—not stiff. This hairstyle is perfect for giving fine, limp hair body without overloading it with hair products.
