Have you heard of the Beachwaver? I hadn’t until my sister-in-law told me all about it and all I have to say is: wow! I’ve always used a curling wand to curl my hair (on those rare occasions) but this one is a game changer. It was invented and founded by celebrity hair stylist, Sarah Potempa and her sisters Erin Potempa-Wall and Emily Potempa in 2010. It is the perfect size, and super quick and easy to use! I wanted to share this with all of you and filmed a tutorial of how it works! Check out the YouTube video linked below!
Beachwaver S1.25
This is a large-barreled curling wand which is perfect for longer hair and larger curls. They make a variety of sizes and style Beachwaver, but this one creates the exact wave in my hair that I’ve always wanted! It heats up quickly (you can raise the temp up to 410 degrees) and has two direction buttons that spins the barrel for you.

I tend to wash my hair every other day (or sometimes 2-3 days) and I always put product in it while it is wet just in case I need to style it in the coming days. I typically will spray the Ouai Wave Spray in it and then put it in a side braid or two braids and let it dry that way. That way, I am starting out with some body and texture to my hair. It also has some product to help with holding the curl.
​
To start curling your hair, all you do is you do is section your hair, clip the small section leaving about an inch out of the bottom, and press the arrow in the direction going away from your face. One of the best features of this is that you don’t have to hold your arm over your head while curling the opposite side! Just push the opposite arrow button, and you’re in business without your arm getting cramped and exhausted!
Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hairspray (Beachwaver Co.)
I can’t get enough of this heat protectant hairspray! The smell is just incredible and it is made without all of the ingredients that we don’t want to see in our haircare, skincare, etc:
  • Paraben free
  • Formaldehyde free
  • Sulfate free
  • Cruelty free
  • Recyclable cans
  • Mineral Oil free
  • Benzophenone free
  • Vegan
  • Phthalate free
I spray this all over the sections of my hair before curling it to protect from heat, but also give some added hold for the finished product! It leaves your hair soft and without that typical hairspray “crunch”.
Styling After Curling
You can really do whatever you want after curling all sections of hair, but make sure to allow the curls to cool whatever you choose! For my look recently, I have just been brushing the top part of my hair gently to get rid of any frizz or flyaways, and using my fingers to comb through and shake out the curled sections at the bottom.

I hope you guys enjoyed this hair tutorial and learning about the Beachwaver! The company is coming out with a new line of hair products next month that I am very excited for too, so I will share my thoughts when those come out! Go check out the Beachwaver if you’re in the market for a new hair styling tool! Have a great weekend & Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!
