We love this messy rock-‘n’-roll beach wave look!
This style can be done on any hair type or texture. But the best part? This is by far the easiest technique to master. The only caveat: The roots and ends should be somewhere between wavy and straight before you begin this how-to, so those with curly hair should blow-dry their hairline and tips smooth before beginning.
Step 1:
Divide hair into 1- to 2-inch sections and ready a 1.25-inch iron or wand. Hold the iron vertical and wrap the hair around the tool, leaving two inches at the root and one inch at the ends of the hair untouched by the heat. If your hair is curly or wavy, just focus on defining each section; no need to create perfect ringlets.
Hold each section for a few seconds, then release the curl and spritz with hairspray.

Step 2:
Continue on the rest of the hair, curling each section in the opposite direction from the last (towards the face, away from the face, repeat). You’ll notice your hair is starting to look a little beauty-pageant-like, but don’t be nervous.
It’s best to curl the hair a step higher and tighter than you want the final look to be. It’s much easier to loosen the curl with your hands, or lightly brush them through, than trying to add more curl.
Step 3:
Once every section has cooled, flip your head over and break up the curls with your hands. “Go crazy”. Don’t be afraid to get in there and really mess it up! Then flip your head over and finger-comb back into place.
