How To Hair: Easy, 10 Minute Beach Waves

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all having an amazing day today! :) I'm just here with a super easy, super quick hair tutorial on how to get beachy waves in 10 minutes.  Now, I have really long, stick straight hair (seriously, no texture at all...) and if I'm feeling like doing something a little different, but don't feel like spending a ton of time on it, this is what I do to my hair.  It's especially perfect for those days when your outfit is looking beachy and bohemian :)  Enjoy!

First, you're going to make sure your hair is completely dry and tangle free.  I've tried this with slightly damp hair and it did not work at all, but that may just be my hair type!

Now, braid your hair into as many braids as you want.  I french braided two braids.  

The more braids you do, the smaller the waves will be.

Now, spray a little bit of hairspray onto the braids, then plug in your straightener and turn it on.

You're just going to hold the straightener over each part of your braid for about 15 seconds, going over each braid at least twice:

Pin It

Then, spray it a little more with some hairspray (if your hair is hard to do ANYTHING to like mine is!) and take out your braids.  Now you're done and you have super easy and fast beach waves in your hair!

I hope you all enjoyed this! Like I said, it's not super fancy, but it's perfect for a quick bit of texture in your hair :)

Review: Conair Remington Hot Rollers

Hey everyone!

So my hair is very thick and long, and it's SO hard to curl it!  I've tried curling irons and the wand, but they just don't hold as well (maybe because i STILL don't know how to work the wand, but I'm trying!).  The only way I've been able to curl my hair and make it stay is with hot rollers:

These are not some expensive kind of hot rollers, they're just the Conair Remington hot rollers, you can get them at Target or Ulta.  

I let them heat up, until the dot on top turns white.  Then I roll small sections of my hair, using random sizes and rolling my hair in different directions to make it not look as uniform.   The box says you only have to leave them in for 15 minutes for loose curls, but I've found that with hair as long and heavy as mine is, that's not long enough.  So, I just leave them in while I get ready and when I'm ready to leave, usually about 30-45 minutes later, my hair is curly!

Now because my hair is so hard to curl, I have to use some hairspray, and I switch between Garnier Fructis and Big Sexy hairspray.  I just lightly douse my hair in spray then shake out my curls a little and I'm ready to go for the day! These curls usually last me from morning until night, but sometimes the underneath goes a little flat.

I'm trying to learn how to use the wand but I just can't get it to work for my hair! But, I'll let you all know how it goes! Hope you enjoyed!
