Who was looking for tips on beachy waves?

Just saw this on pinterest and figured I would share: http://www.ohsoprettythediaries.com/2012/04/does-pinterest-know-everything.html

She braids her hair, twists the braids, and THEN uses a straightener.  

Re: Who was looking for tips on beachy waves?

  • Interesting!  My hair is way shorter than hers (barely to my shoulders and with layers), so I can't do braids like that.  However, I wonder how it would look if I did a few sections on my head and loosely braided from the scalp and did this.  I'll have to give it a try.

    I tried doing two french braids with damp hair and sleeping on it, but that turned out way too tight.  With the length of my hair, one french braid would only wave the very ends of my hair I think.

  • I tried something similar once after seeing it on Pinterest and my hair looked awful afterwards :(

  • I tried that and it didn't work at all for me. It looked horrible.

  • I tried this whole flat ironing the braid thing and when I took it out it looked like a horrible crimped mess...I belonged at a Poison concert.  For a more subtle wave, I suggest blasting the braid with a blowdryer for just a minute before taking it out.

    I don't know this kid or this monkey, but their side-eyes are strong.

  • Just tried the twisted braid method and it looked horrible!
