You can curl freshly washed and blow-dried hair or next-day hair (though next-day hair is known to hold curls better).
- Prep your hair using a heat protectant before reaching for any tools.
- "Use a hot barrel [on a 1 to 1½-inch iron] without the clip, roll the hair around it and let loose," Fekkai says.
- Use a texturizing spray or for extra hold and to add definition.
- Flip hair over and shake out the curls to loosen them up.
- Add a pea-sized amount of hair oil to curls if they need a moisture boost.
Pro tip: Curl pieces of hair away from the face for the most natural-looking curls. If you want more tousled beach waves, try alternating between away from your face and toward your face.

- Shield your hair using a heat protectant before you begin styling.
- Roll 1 inch pieces of hair around a 1 to 1½-inch wand.
- Leave out the very ends out to create natural-looking waves, and start working from the top down to ensure hair doesn't get too poufy — it's okay if some of the pieces underneath are left uncurled.
- Once hair is cooled, comb through the waves with your fingers to make them more piecey.
- Finish with a hair serum to add in shine and moisture.
Pro tip: When using a curling wand, try alternating directions you curl the hair for a more dimensional finish.

Fekkai explains that flat irons are better tools to use when curling long hair, and anyone with shorter hair should stick to a curling iron or wand. If you do want to try your hand at flat iron waves, however:
- Section off your hair into three or four sections, depending on how thick your hair is.
- Wrap 1 and 1/2 inch strands of hair around the iron away from the face.
- Use the iron like you would normally until halfway down the hair shaft. Then, flip the iron over to begin curling the hair.

If you'd rather not heat-style your hair but still want effortless-looking curls, you can still achieve a curly look:
- Start with damp hair, and part it down the middle.
- Take two 1/2 inch pieces of hair at the very front and start twisting them over each other, taking more hair as you go along.
- Tie up the ends and repeat on the other side.
- Allow hair to dry, then carefully let it out of the twists and shake out curls.
