Beach wavy hair with no effort!

[messybun]

I have fairly thick, fairly straight long hair and have decided I want beachy, casual waves for summer :) what's the least labour intensive way of achieving this bearing in mind I have two children under 4 to get out the house by 7.30 every day!

A few plaits the night before depending on how thick your hair is!

And a salt spray!

Sea salt spray and air dry or do some small buns and leave it in to dry.

Does salt spray really work then?! I want this sort of look...

Tony and Guy deep barrel waver.

It's a bit like a massive crimper. Just one wave in each section. It's brilliant and totally easy.

Salt spray and then plait it and leave it to dry. Cheap and easy!

Plaits over night and then sea salt spray - trail a few cheaper sprays
I found some made my hair sticky and go greasy quickly so had to wash again after a few hours
But found two that worked well for me

Another recommendation for the Toni and Guy deep barrel waver. I've had my eye on it for a while and it's only £25 on Amazon at the moment, I've only been using it for a few days and it's brilliant, so quick and easy to use - my husband actually noticed my hair was different and said he really liked it.

I have thick hair and the waves really last, and are still in good shape the following morning.

How quick to use MadisonAvenue? How long is your hair?

Love your username Op 😂 watching this thread with interest!

Styler thing looks good. Just read reviews on Amazon and some say the waves lasts couple of days which would be ideal

Following but having poker straight hair, I'm probably a lost cause.
I suspect that photo and all photos like that proclaiming to give effortless beachy hair, is hair that's been styled for several hours lol.

I suspect your right Raven but I'm choosing to ignore that fact and believe that I can achieve that look in 5 mins, at home, by myself, whilst trying to get suncream on two squirmy dd's

Two French plaits the night before

Fasting Not much more than 5 minutes. My hair is just past shoulder length and I was taking quite large sections at a time.

I'd tried the Paul Stafford bubble wand or whatever it's called before and returned it, the only thing I achieved with it was a big frizzy mess.
