Effortless Beachy Hair with this $23 Tool.

I love a sexy, beachy hair look just as much as a sleek, pin straight one- and I am always switching back and forth between the two.  Since my hair is naturally straight, creating a sleek style is easy, but getting those beachy waves right is a little trickier.  I was using a curling iron and just wrapping sections of hair around it without using the clamp to get loose waves...a tedious process at best.  So when a friend told me about the Revlon Jumbo Waver iron, I headed over to Ulta to pick one up.  

It's $23 and I will warn you...it's huge.  I'm talking half the size of my head.  But despite it's size, it's actually pretty lightweight and easy to use.  You just clamp it on a 2-inch wide section of hair starting a few inches down from the top of your head, hold it for a few seconds, then move it down to the middle, and finally clamp it on the ends.  Once I'm finished, I like to just flip my head upside down and ruffle my hair with my fingers to separate it. Then I run a finishing cream throught it quickly to keep it from getting fluffy.

Here's my before and after shots...you can see how the finished look is a more rumpled, beachy look than you'd get with a curling iron.  I love it- it's very Taylor Swift!

To get yours, visit the link below and search for the "Revlon Jumbo Waver".  Make sure it's the "Jumbo" one, because they do make a smaller version, but the waves will come out very tight (think crimped like in the 80's).  If that's what you want, cool, but to get the waves like I have, you have to get the Jumbo one.
