Making Waves: (Hair Hack) Easy Waves in 10 Minutes or Less

The faster I can get through my morning routine and out the door, the better these days. And maybe the same goes for you?

If so, this quick hair hack / tutorial may be a match for ya…Click through for the 10 minute or less hack to beachy waves (big or small).

Instructions

You can try this hair tutorial with clean hair or day old hair, as a refresh. Spray hair with a little bit of strong hold hair spray. Then, separate your hair into sections and braid. For larger waves, do larger sections and for tight small waves, do small(ish) sections like the photos.

Next, run a hair straightener over each braid several times, on regular heat. Don’t leave the flat iron on the braids for too long (just a couple of seconds, running all the way down the braid, starting at the top, 2-3 times for each braid). Once all the braids have been flat ironed, unravel the braids, starting with the first braid you flat ironed, to give the more recent braids time to cool down. Run your fingers through and add more hair spray if desired.

Easy, right?

Are you up for a 10 minute hair hack like this one? I’m really curious to try this on myself, with larger sections for bigger waves. What about you?
