Product Information

For instance, you can style your hair into beach waves by wrapping it on top of the barrels or create spherical bohemian curls by wrapping your hair between the barrels. You can play around with different methods to produce a variety of unique styles. This is the only waver among our recommendations that is not a barrel waver. Instead, it’s a wand and works the same way as other curling wands. But you can create a wider variety of styles than with a traditional curling wand thanks to the series of smaller barrels along its length. The BaByliss Wave Envy is a double barrel waver with just three heat settings. These are significantly fewer than the 25 settings in the previous two wavers but still good enough for styling different hair types. The heat settings range from 160C to 200C.

These voluminous beach waves are the result of simple twists—specifically, a flat twist into a three-strand twist (so yes, you’ll want to have your twisting game down before DIYing this one). To re-create these beach waves from creator Bria Larine, you’ll first want to blow out your 4c hair to stretch your hair and get a straighter texture. Then you’re going to work section by section to create your twists. If you want to start enjoying beach waves or you have been having trouble styling your hair into waves using a flat iron or curling wand, try a hair waver. We have collected the best hair wavers you can buy today.But first, let’s break down a few of the most-helpful beach-wave tips from the experts: Straighten out your texture first If you have longer hair, you can use a hair waver with larger barrels (see: around three inches). However, if you have shorter hair, using too large of a hair waver can be (a) difficult or (b) cause you to burn yourself. The solution? Use a hair waver with smaller barrels (try Bed Head A Wave We Go Adjustable Deep Waver), but in this case, note that some smaller barrels may create tighter waves. If you prefer the more undone wave look, use a single barrel hair waver, like the Hot Tools Professional Nano Ceramic Deep Waver. Prep your hair properly A waver actually works pretty much like a curling iron or a hair straightener. The only difference is that it is much more effective when you are creating waves. Compared to a curling iron or a flat iron, a waver is easy to use and works through your hair in no time. When styling, the extra-long 3M cord comes in handy. You don’t have to sit or stand in an awkward position to use the waver. If you are using it on colour-treated hair, it will not cause it to fade thanks to the built-in tourmaline colour protection. Add a spritz of hairspray to keep your look in place, or spray with a sea salt spray to add a little texture. Q: How to use a waver iron on short hair?

It’s not much but I love the stylish pink handle. It’s long enough to comfortably hold in your hand and is attached to a swivel cord that does not get all tangled up when you are working on your hair. What we like about it: Typically, the process of creating beach waves is done with a curling iron or hair straightener, says Izquierdo. But if you don’t want the heat damage, he says you can also try getting heatless beach waves by braiding damp hair in pigtails and allowing it to air-dry. Then—if you’re okay with a lil bit of heat—he recommends “lightly clamping your flat iron down each braid.” It’s not required, but it does “help set the braid-wave pattern and ensure a consistent wave,” says Izquierdo. Start with a texturizing base First, section off a one-inch strip of hair, work a dollop of curl cream through it, then flat-twist until you’ve reached the halfway point. When you hit the midway point, split the two sections of hair into three, and finish with a three-strand twist-out all the way to the end.When you are done styling, use the heat protection mat provided along with the waver to protect your surfaces from damage. What we like about it: If you are looking for extra deep waves, try this hair waver. It has two barrels and 32mm plates that produce more accentuated waves. The principle of curling your short hair is the same as if it was long – section off the hair, hold the waver down on a section for 5-10 seconds then repeat around your whole head. Beyond the aesthetics of a mermaid hair waver, many different factors contribute to the effect one has on your hair. This includes heat temperature, barrel size (aka, girth and length... get your mind out the gutter!) and barrel shape, not to mention easy-to-use aspects such as tool weight, automatic shut off and whether or not it's cordless.

Ensuring that the hot part of the waver barrel is on the bottom, clamp the top of the section of hair you are working on. Hold it down for 4-5 seconds – don’t leave it much longer, to avoid damaging your hair. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Continue down the section of hair until it is all waved (as a tip, try to line up the first barrel with the last wave you made, for a continuous wave down the hair shaft). There are many ways to create beautiful beach waves. You can use the same flat iron you straighten your hair with, although this requires some deft hand skills. A better tool is a dedicated hair curler. But most curlers tend to create tighter ringlets rather than the gentle casual waves you are looking for. This waver comes with 25 heat settings, easily changeable using a dial on the handle. The maximum temperature is 200C.

Most wavers consist of 2 or 3 barrels that press your hair into sunken groves to form waves. In most cases, you don’t even need to section your hair using clips or pins. Just take hold of a bunch of strands, put them through the waver and move on to the next one. The only challenge is when you are styling extra short hair. Because of the wide barrels, it can be a bit hard to properly grasp sections of your hair. Just work a heat protectant through your curls then roughly straighten your hair. Don’t worry about getting it perfectly sleek and straight—the point here is to just neutralize your texture a bit before creating your waves. Beach waves will always be the “easiest” to get on straight hair, because you have no existing texture to compete with. So regardless of which tutorial you try below, you’ll want to first prep your hair by straightening out your natural texture—especially if you’re starting with type-3 curls or type-4 hair.
