Easiest way to get loose curls/waves?

[Pennyres]

What is the easiest way to achieve this look? My hair is quite thick and longer than the photos attached. Im not great at styling hair but I’d love to give this a go - what tools, products etc do I need?

A curling wand - wide one. Or a pair of straighteners where you twist and pull (try YouTube!)

Wash your hair in the evening, plait it while it's wet or damp and leave overnight.

I have hair exactly like that. I dry it from
wet on the Dyson airwrap (small barrel) in sections into ringlets. Then leave for 15 mins, then separate with my fingers. Last about a week. The only thing is that my hair is very thick and a bit coarse, with a natural wave and that's why it holds the big waves I think. Not sure it would work on fine hair.

Plait it wet for beachy waves, princess lea buns for big waves. Sleep overnight and a quick blast in the morning.

you don’t need any if that heat damaging stuff, just wash your hair and a few hair bands…. I do it almost every day
