How to Create Beach Waves Using a Flat Iron
Like the perfect cat eye or contoured face, creating beach waves is somewhat of a tricky technique. Enthusiasts will agree that it’s a cinch to achieve, while neophytes are more than wary of all of that styling. To find out how to master the undone, textured look, we enlisted celebrity hairstylist David Lopez to teach us using — get this — a flat iron.
“You want to make sure whatever flat iron you’re using at home has a beveled edge,” Lopez, who works with Hailey Baldwin and Chrissy Teigen, tells Brit + Co. “It just helps with being able to do waves and curls.”
To learn the best technique, pick up your styling iron (Lopez relies on the T3 SinglePass Luxe Professional Styling and Straightening Iron [$180]) and watch the video below.
