No-Heat Beach Waves for Straight Hair

Sydne Style shows how to get no heat beach waves for straight hair

Since I can’t get a haircut anytime soon, I’ve been extra diligent about trying to keep my hair healthy. One way I’ve been doing this is by avoiding heat tools. I’ve only touched a hair dryer and curling iron twice since we went into lockdown back in March. But I still love the look of beachy waves. So I tried out a bunch of hair tutorials on how to get no-heat beach waves without using a curling iron.

After endless trial and error, I finally found a technique that worked for me. Since my hair is pretty straight and doesn’t hold curl too well, I had try out a bunch of different hair products too. It took a lot of experimenting but I finally found the perfect solution for my straight hair. I’m sharing a video tutorial over on Instagram.

Here are the steps with products if you want to shop them to get no-heat beach waves too:

  1. Dry hair quicker with a hair towel. I use an Aquis Hair Towel ($30).
  2. Spray entire head with a volumizing spray. I use Unite Boosta Volumizing Spray ($27.50).
  3. Brush out hair to detangle. I use my Wet Brush Detangler ($14.99).
  4. Part hair.
  5. Create two sections and lightly tie one section into a pigtail. I use Slip Pure Silk Hair Ties ($39 for a 3-pack).
  6. Divide hair into 1-1 1/2-inch sections and keep wrapping them under and over in a French Braid technique, just using two sections of hair instead of 3.
  7. Repeat on other side.
  8. Wrap the two sections together, securing with the silk scrunchie.
  9. Loosen the the front sections.
  10. Continue loosening the front sections as the hair is dry.
  11. Once hair is dry, take out the scrunchie and undo the “braid.”
  12. Spray waves with a texturizing hair spray. I use Sexy Hair High Tide Texturizing Finishing Hairspray ($19.95).
  13. Use your fingers to loosen the curls.
  14. Minimize flyaways with an anti-frizz spray. I use Garnier Fructis Sleek Shine Frizz Guard Hair Spray ($3.49).
  15. Sometimes I spray a little extra on a soft brush and lightly brush the top of my head. I use Oribe Large Round Bristle Brush ($185).
  16. And that’s it!

My straight hair usually doesn’t hold curl too well but I’ve been super happy of how the waves have held up with this combination of hair products. The next day, I add a little more texturizing hair spray and the curls look almost as good as they did the day before. Sometimes I can even stretch it into three days, which is huge for me! I hope this helps you if you’re looking for no-heat hair technique for at-home beach waves!

    Cool way, it was helpful, thank you! I usually make waves with a hair flat iron, there are great options for really good hair flat irons here https://besthairflatirons.com/ . As a rule, I put the curling iron on a minimum temperature, and also use a spray to protect against high temperatures. This helps me once again not to damage my hair with heat

    Very cool; informative; many thanks! I frequently use a hair flat iron to create waves; there are several excellent flat iron alternatives. As a general rule, I set the curling iron to the lowest setting and protect myself from excessive temperatures by spraying. Once more, this aids me in avoiding heat damage to my hair.

    I’ve always believed that a woman’s attractiveness begins with her appearance. Maintaining a well-groomed look is essential, and for me, that includes having beautiful hair. That’s why I decided to enhance my style with a lace front wig. Since making that choice, I no longer worry about my hair detracting from my attractiveness. The versatility and natural appearance of my lace front wig from True Glory Hair have truly boosted my confidence.

    Why I Chose a Lace Front Wig: When I first explored the idea of wearing a wig, I was looking for something that would look natural and stay secure, regardless of my activities. Lace front wigs were the perfect solution. They offer a natural hairline and the ability to style the hair away from my face, which really appealed to me. The lace at the front mimics a natural hairline, allowing for styling flexibility that other types of wigs don’t offer.

    My Experience: Purchasing my first lace front wig from https://truegloryhair.com/collections/virgin-brazilian-wigs was a revelation. The quality of the wig is outstanding, with each strand of hair carefully secured onto the lace, creating an impressively natural look. I can part it on either side or wear it back without revealing that I’m wearing a wig, which is exactly the versatility I need.

    Styling and Maintenance: One of my favorite aspects of owning a lace front wig is the ease of styling. I can curl, straighten, and even braid the hair, just like my natural hair. To keep it in pristine condition, I gently wash it with a wig-safe shampoo and let it air dry. This simple routine helps maintain its beauty and longevity.

    Boosting My Confidence: Since I started wearing my lace front wig, I’ve felt a surge in confidence. I’m no longer self-conscious about my hair on bad hair days. Instead, I feel put-together and ready to face the world every day. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good too.

    A Worthwhile Investment: Investing in a high-quality lace front wig was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my appearance. It simplifies my mornings, complements my style, and keeps me looking and feeling beautiful.

    For anyone considering a wig, I highly recommend lace front wigs from True Glory Hair. Check out their collection at True Glory Hair to find a wide variety of options that can help you enhance your look and boost your confidence. A lace front wig isn’t just a purchase; it’s an investment in your beauty and self-esteem.
