And with a change in seasons comes a change in how we style our hair. Let\u2019s face it, summer heat and humidity take a toll on your hair so great summer hair can be hard. With that said, there is one style that will never fail you, and that\u2019s The Beach Wave. So today I\u2019m going to show you how to perfect it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Truth be told, the beach wave is a hit any time of year, and there\u2019s a reason for that. It\u2019s incredibly versatile, can be worn dressed up or dressed down, it works with virtually any hair texture, length, and style, when done right it lasts for days, and it\u2019s so <\/em>forgiving. I personally love it. It\u2019s one of my favourite styles. We automatically associate a loose wave with summer because it has a true bohemian feel. It looks lived in and has that sexy I-woke-up-like-this vibe.<\/p>\n

So if you haven\u2019t perfected your own version of the wave, it\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

Flat Iron vs. Wand<\/h4>\n

Lots of people prefer to use a wand for waves. There is a certain logic to that because a wand has the ability to create uniform waves that are all the same and it seems like a very easy tool to use.<\/p>\n

But there are a few things that you should know before opting for the wand.<\/p>\n

I always caution clients who like to use a wand to create waves because this tool puts you at risk of burning the hair. Unlike the flat iron, where the hair is only momentarily in contact with heat as you pull your hair through it, when you wrap your hair around the wand, it stays in contact until you unwind it.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re going to use a wand, be very careful.<\/p>\n

The other thing is that because the wand will create the same, uniform curl all over, it\u2019s actually more of a fall or winter wave. It almost looks like a finished pin curl. It\u2019s more polished and refined which, of course, isn\u2019t a bad thing, but it also isn\u2019t necessarily what we\u2019re going for if we\u2019re looking for that summery, beachy look.<\/p>\n

My recommendation: put the wand away for the summer and stick to the flat iron to get that sweet summer look.<\/p>\n
