Beach curls — what do they look like, who do they suit, how long do they last?

The modern hairdressing industry offers young ladies a large number of different hairstyles. For seaside holidays, trips to nature and trips to the beach, beach curls are ideal, which are distinguished by their extraordinary ease of installation and attractive appearance.

What do beach curls look like?

Among the wide variety of hairstyles, young girls and older women often choose beach curls — a well-known styling that is characterized by spectacular oval-shaped curls. When creating this original hairstyle, it is important to consider that the curls in it should not be too well-defined and tight.

So, the effect of beach curls always coexists with slight negligence, so it is just perfect for windy weather, which is almost always observed near the shores of reservoirs. Charming beach waves-curls that flow beautifully, framing a woman’s face, should not be very conspicuous or attract too much attention to themselves. They smoothly and harmoniously fit into everyday and elegant female images, neatly complementing and completing them.

Who suits beach curls?

One of the positive characteristics of this gorgeous hairstyle is its versatility. Properly styled beach curls will suit absolutely any woman, and long strands are not needed at all to create such a styling — it looks great on short hair.

Meanwhile, according to most stylists, this hairstyle is best suited to owners of light or red hair. For girls with dark chestnut or black strands, styling beach curls on a square is better, in which the curls are made more clearly defined and neat. This nuance can emphasize the depth of dark tones and make the hairstyle appropriate not only in the hot, but also in the cold season.

How long do beach curls last?

The traditional variation of the hairstyle, which you can do with your own hands at home, lasts only until the next shampooing. As a rule, it retains an attractive appearance only until the evening, and the very next day it requires a slight correction, which is performed using a special cream. Meanwhile, modern masters of hairdressing are able to offer the fair sex a “long-playing” version of this hairstyle, which will allow you to get elastic and natural curls for 6-8 weeks.

A similar service in studios and beauty salons is called the beach waves effect and is the application of a mixture of two components to the strands, one of which gives the hair a wavy texture, and the other protects it from the inside. When choosing this styling option, it is worth considering that beach curls on dark hair hold a little worse than on light ones — in this case, the result will have to be constantly maintained with the help of a styling product.

How to make beach curls?

Traditionally, styling beach curls is created using a curling iron or ironing. These tools can be used both independently and in a professional beauty studio. Meanwhile, depending on the length of the hair, there are other ways to form such a hairstyle, some of which have been familiar to the fair sex since childhood.
