Why can’t it be as simple as dunking your head in an ocean of water? Well it can be! A little Aussie secret… beach waves can be an absolute breeze to recreate and luckily, proximity to the shore isn’t needed to achieve the perfect look. Keep on reading to discover the best ways to get the perfect beach waves with a curling iron.
BEACH WAVES FOR OUR STRAIGHT-HAIRED GALS
Want the surfer look but end up looking a little flat? Right this way for your straight-hair guide to beach waves with a curling wand. Effortless curls are just a flip, tussle and twirl away…
Step 1. After showering with Aussie Mega Shampoo and Mega Conditioner, simply tousle your tresses with your fingers. The key is to roughly dry it – flip it about a bit! This achieves a rougher texture, taking on the feel of hair that has dried after being in the sea.
Step 2. Spritz those strands with a little heat protectant to prevent damage caused by styling. Aussie SOS Heat Leave on Spray with Tasmanian Pepperberry has the dual action qualities you need here: moisture and protection. Follow up by tussling the lengths of your hair with a smidge of Aussie Turn Up The Curl Mousse – it’ll help hold the beach waves style without robbing hair of that free flowing look or feel.
Step 3. Once dry, wrap small segments of hair around a hot curling iron for 3-5 seconds. The secret? Avoid uniformity – switch up the direction with every curl so they don’t fall into the same pattern, ensuring you get that flawlessly messy beach babe look.
Step 4. Set that undone, care-free look in place with a light spray of Aussie Uplift Your hair Hairspray with flexible hold. No crunch, no worries. Break up your new waves with your fingers and give strands a quick spray.
Nothing beats a week at the beach, but our little beach waves recipe comes pretty darn close!

Beach waves for the curly-wurly of the group Woah there! Relax that curl. Time to turn those bouncy curls into a beachy mane of loveliness. It all starts at the beginning of your haircare routine: the wash. So, let’s break it down…
