I've seen probably hundreds of beach wave tutorials over the years and this is by far the easiest to follow one with simple instructions and beautiful, real results. Your explanation of the process is so easy and relatable. Great job!
Good to know! I’m here years later and this is the first one I watched and it looks just like what my hairdresser did on my new-to-me short bob. Sounds like I got lucky! Don’t plan to watch any others. My hair truly is short but can’t wait to try this!
This lady is so beautiful and genuine. I love how she is focused on teaching and not on getting attention for her beauty like most of the people on UA-cam. Best tutorial ever!! I wish you millions in your bank account. Now I’m off to practice this technique.
This is honestly the most HELPFUL and straightforward set of instructions for curling your hair with straighteners that I’ve ever seen. I’m absolutely hopeless with hair but I actually feel semi-confident in being able to achieve the results I want after watching this. Thank you so much!
Okay I have the worst hair for this kind of thing. Thin, doesn’t hold a curl, doesn’t cooperate...and I followed this tutorial today and it was like MAGIC. The way you describe how to curl toward the front vs the back is the best I’ve ever seen. Love that I stumbled upon this video!
Thank you!! I never learned how to do my own hair, so it's greatly appreciated when someone emphasizes what to do with their hands and walks through each step instead of fast forwarding through most of the process. This was very helpful!
Thank you so much for the visual of twisting where you can see your thumb or fingers! I could not for the life of me ever get the amount of rotation for the flat iron correct and this helps tremendously!
this has to be by far the best flat iron curls tutorial I've watched. I don't normally curl my hair after flat ironing but now that I have new bayalage highlights I really want too! Definitely going to give this a go tomorrow! thank you!!!!
Thanks for the demo! And for any of you who have hair this length (below your shoulders) - newsflash - your hair is NOT short! This is medium-long category :) Have a lovely day!
I just have to say your awesome. I NEVER comment on anything but you deserved a comment. I've watched a ton of tutorials about doing beach waves and i couldn't do any. I was about to give up when I saw your video amd tried it right away. I didn't use any of the products you did just hairspray and my straightener and WOW. Perfect. I can't thank you enough. You rock!!!!
I’ve watched hours of curling with a straight iron and haven’t been able to master it! I know why now..I was trying to wrap my hair around it like a curling iron and not the half twist. Your teaching technique with the thumb/finger is amazing. I’ve got it now. Thank you. Ps. You have beautiful eyes 😁
Great tutorial!! I;m also a hairstylist, for over 30 years...she's using "Moroccan Oil"which is NOT cooking oil...Ever hear of a "Hot Oil Treatment" for damaged hair? This is an entirely different molecular composition...The Use of oil n dry hair prior to a styling is OK, it's referred to put it in the hair prior to drying and styling... The her activates the molecular structure and does provide a little protection...You did GREAT!
Thank you! This is the best tutorial that I've found so far for waves with a flat iron. I cut my hair, that was down past my waist to just below my shoulders. I have always worn it completely straight, and wanted a completely different look, and have been trying to get the waves. I'm able to curl it but I'm getting more of a curl than a wave. Your tutorial is a big help! I love the suggestion of finger placement on the flat iron, and doing some sections away from, and some toward, the face! And I really like where you explain how to get the piece right next to your face a little straight after you put the wave in. This will be a huge help the next time I do my hair!
I’ve always struggled with the whole how to curl toward my face and how to curl away and the finger and thumb thing makes so much sense thank you so much for this video.
Yes! Thanks for the fingers - thumb placement tip; now I’m not flipping the flat iron back & forth to see which way it goes! You don’t waste time talking, either. Thumbs up for getting to the show part and cutting down the tell. Love your steps for the beach waves.... they work for me!
I have practiced this so many times and I still can't get it! My hair comes out almost straight every time. It looks so easy so I can't figure out where I'm going wrong lol
this is perfect, I just cut my hair yesterday and it's a little shorter than yours - can't wait to play around with my flat iron and curling wands! you look lovely as always Kayli, thanks for the tutorial :)
Omg this tutorial is a game changer! You have done the best video on how to do waves with a straight iron that I have seen, and that whole tip with the hand and the thumb, genious! Thank you!
I have watched many many tutorials on this topic and yours is by far the best! Your explanation using the thumb and fingers is so effective. All your tips are very helpful.
I've watched so many of these videos and this is the first to have clicked! The description of fingers forward then thumb forward helped me a ton. Thank you.
You are my hero! I have tried so many different ways to do this and have failed until I found your video! I start a new job tomorrow and you saved the day!! Thank you!!
Great video. I have been struggling with curling with my new flat iron and keep trying to twist it like a curliong iron (needless to say it's not working well). Will definitely be trying this tonight.
I love this tutorial! TFS! ❤ I smiling reading the comments of frustrated girls, it's true that it look so easy but when you're going to try it becomes a disaster. 😵 "The practice makes a master" 🙏
So glad I watched this as I already own a hair straightener but was about to purchase a beach wave heated styling wand. I'll save the money and try your technique instead!
Been looking for a tutorial that easily explains this technique... you nailed it! Honestly the idea of explaining which way your fingers hold the straightener has been the most helpful tip I have heard so far. And in REAL time not sped up! Much appreciated. Only issue I have is that I have bangs now and it is sooo hard to figure out how to blend them in. Full fringe here, not curtain bangs that easily blend with curls. I'm excited to try this out!
TheSpiritualife I use my flat iron for everything that I "used" to do with a curling iron! Flat irons (in my opinion) are much easier to use than a curling hair.
TheSpiritualife you know those ribbons used for wrapping presents? If you run the back of scissors (blunt side) along a ribbon, it curls up :) think this hair styling is of same principle
OHMYWORD, best beach wave tutorial ever! THANK YOU! I really appreciate you making this video and sharing your technique with us. You really explained it well, and showed us clearly how to do it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Finally, a tutorial that works for me. This technique is much better than others, I managed to do this first time and get a pretty good result. Just needa little more practice and I'm sure I'll have it down. Thanks!
@@teatimetarot9199 its Chi, but it says global beauty on the side of it...i got the same one on i forget the name of the site but one of those discount beauty websites...i think i got mine back at least 12 yrs ago for around $70 when Chi was close to $200 for a good one...and i still have it...still works great and use several times a week.
Best tutorial I've seen! Thank you for perfectly explaining each step in a simple way, I've viewed many videos on this that are very vague. This tutorial is refreshingly concise.
Instructions are great! It is VERY HELPFUL for us to get the name of products if you DON”T SHAKE THE PRODUCTS on video but hold it still or put them in your notes section. Some of us are really new to this.
You have to make sure you're turning your flat iron enough that it's still curling the whole way down and not just pulling straight through to the ends. Try to do smaller sections and when you're about half way down the hair, turn the iron around a little bit more and keep going :)
You may need to give your hair a few (5-10) seconds to set, instead of just running the flat iron through and releasing. Also, you could hairspray right after if your hair doesn't hold curl!
Thank you! Shorter hair after years. Bought a nice quality flat iron but badly needed this tutorial to get this exact look on my new short bob! You explained it wonderfully!
Vada the turtle try moving the iron through your hair on a higher heat setting and more slowly... I have the same issue and even when I'm moving really slow I can only get something at the bottom of my hair, but trust me, if you are moving the iron through your hair too quickly it won't work
Melissa Toon I've been trying to curl my hair for years with my ghd just can't do it it goes dead straight at top and kinky at the bottom not a good look at all
tasiawful1 but how is that someone else's fault. And for the thousandth time EVERYONE'S HAIR IS DIFFERENT. NOT EVERY HAIRCUT, CURL OR PRODUCT WORKS THE SAME ON EVERY PERSON. OML
I literally haven't seen any good how to curl your hair with a straghting iern they were all confusing to me I was about to give up and then I found your video it makes so much sence thank you!!!
This is an awesome tutorial - you have a real knack for explaining things in an easy to understand manner. Now I just have to find a way to get my stubborn hair to actually hold curl!
I've seen probably hundreds of beach wave tutorials over the years and this is by far the easiest to follow one with simple instructions and beautiful, real results. Your explanation of the process is so easy and relatable. Great job!
This is what I came to say! I like how she repeated about the finger and hand positions over and over. It really helps. 😀 Great tutorial!
Good to know! I’m here years later and this is the first one I watched and it looks just like what my hairdresser did on my new-to-me short bob. Sounds like I got lucky! Don’t plan to watch any others. My hair truly is short but can’t wait to try this!
Same here...I am so uncoordinated, especially when looking in a mirror. The hand placement instruction over and over and going slowly really helps!
You are one of the few you tube gals who knows how to make a helpful, to the point, and informative how to vid. Thank you!
Styling starts @ 3:40 - you're welcome :)
thanks

try to do a 360 turn
Same!!!
Haha I feel the same!!! Why is it to difficult lol
Only right side comes out right. The left comes out frumpy and almost completely straight
It helps if you pull downward as pulling out. That made a huge difference for me.
I just watched so many videos and no one explained it as simply and clearly as you did! Thank you times a million!
You are so good at explaining how to curl your hair! Thanks!!
She give the BEST demonstration I have seen yet!!
Nice to see a video with proper instructions on how to do this. Great way to use hand placement - my hands always get in a mess when I try to curl it!
And here I am 5 years later - still can’t do it!
After soooo many years of failed attempts I found the best teacher! Thanks so much💕

My hair was very long and I just cut it yesterday . My hair seems very similar to yours , so this was very helpful and informative ! Thanks !!
Katherine Cutrufello I feel you :) I went from having hair at the bottom of my booty to my shoulders
The twist so you can see fingers or thumb REALLY helped me so much! Thank you!
you're awesome at explaining this stuff! Thank you for doing this^^

Really well explained and demonstrated. Looks terrific! I shall try it tomorrow and will post a photo IF it works for me too lol

"The practice makes a master" 🙏
Not sure how I am just finding you, but awesome channel...Thanks for this video..I recently cut my hair as well and will try this for sure!
This tutorial is very helpful because you show how to twist several times! Also, the finger and thumb rule helped very much!
You make it look so easy! I've been trying forever to figure it out and I can't! 😒
Natasha Bruce Same here! I wish it worked :(
Doesn't work for me either 😕
Me too. Ugh!!!!!
Natasha Bruce me too

Love this makeup look. Would love to see a tutorial on this look :)
Yes your makeup is pretty here. Can you list what products you used
I love her lipstick! I wish she would list the names of the products too!
Yes! I also want to know. The eyeshadows are so pretty!

woww...this is the best tutorial of hair curling with a flat iron...thank you very very much !
What is this sorcery. She is FLAT IRONING her hair and it comes out curly..I dont understand
TheSpiritualife I use my flat iron for everything that I "used" to do with a curling iron!

TheSpiritualife you know those ribbons used for wrapping presents? If you run the back of scissors (blunt side) along a ribbon, it curls up :) think this hair styling is of same principle
ohhh that makes sense! i'll have to give it a try, maybe it seems more scary because it's hot!
You see how she has the flat iron twisted instead of going straight down ? Thats how it curls.
Yes it’s the best!! I do it all the time but sometimes I make the curls too tight!
OHMYWORD, best beach wave tutorial ever! THANK YOU! I really appreciate you making this video and sharing your technique with us. You really explained it well, and showed us clearly how to do it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Kayli's so gorgeous she looks like Jennifer Nettles
Really?? I was thinking Kelly ripa
Because of this video I can now achieve beach waves with my straightener. It's a miracle! Thank you.
You make it look so easy. I have tried several times and I can't get it to look decent. ;(
You can try to turn the iron more, it works for me.
i never understood until now! love the finger idea!!! and i love youuuuu!! thank you so much!
Your eyes in this video are stunning!!!
Thanks
Finally, a tutorial that works for me. This technique is much better than others, I managed to do this first time and get a pretty good result. Just needa little more practice and I'm sure I'll have it down. Thanks!

Hey Kayli I really love your videos and I really like this tutorial you did a really good job explaining💕❤️❤️ I will subscribe

Your the best and this helped as I have short hair as well
Well I have medium hair
Perfect video. Got it right the first time and was amazed. And it works for short hair, like you say. Thanks!

I have looked at many videos on this and this one has the best explanation yet!! Thank you!
Haha I love you ! I have the Same curling iron
Which one is this ???

love the tutorial! :D
Excellent explanation. Straight forward and to the point. Thanks so much! Beautiful.
You're such a cutie-pie with such blue, blue eyes! Great tutorial!
Best explanation I have ever seen for curling with a straightener Thank you 😂❤
Aaaa i hate that twisting thing it just doesnt work for me😒 seriously I've been trying for so long in every way possible and its not working
It could be your straightening iron. The iron needs a round head to work, not a flat one, or it will come out weird.
ua-cam.com/video/ubHbLqYrwrw/v-deo.html
Try buying beachwaver, it literally twirls your hair itself. I love it, works everytime, holds the curls for a couple days
@@danielasklenitzka5180 thanks for that link it's looks far easier

Best tutorial I've seen! Thank you for perfectly explaining each step in a simple way, I've viewed many videos on this that are very vague. This tutorial is refreshingly concise.
I love the big sexy hair products especially the volume spray. I have thin hair and that makes my hair look thick.
Instructions are great! It is VERY HELPFUL for us to get the name of products if you DON”T SHAKE THE PRODUCTS on video but hold it still or put them in your notes section. Some of us are really new to this.
I've tried to do this so many times but only makes tiny wave at the bottom
SAMEEEE!!! it's just one wave. unlike hers at all!! help!

This is so helpful. I could never get the hang of curling until I watched this. Thank you 👏👏👏
i have been trying to do this for 6 hours now tell me another way CAUSE I WANT MY HAIR CURLED
This is an awesome tutorial - you have a real knack for explaining things in an easy to understand manner. Now I just have to find a way to get my stubborn hair to actually hold curl!
10:34 I think she missed a piece I could be wrong 😁😁😁
hhhhhhhhhhhh yeah the same
She missed a piece
Gosh that looks so much easier then I have ever seen it! I will have to try again since I haven't had success in the past! Thank you!
Ugh I never can get my hands to work right while trying this lol
Why is it so difficult. I've been trying with every tool and nothing. I just can't do it
I finally got it! Thank you so much for explaining this. If everyone explained like this, it'd be so much more helpful ❤
This did not work at all...
This was the best flat iron video I have seen on UA-cam. Thank you so much shiny blessings ✨
This is not short hair! LOL
she said it was in a medium length
+Sarah Maslow She said it was short.
well it says in the title that it is for Short/Medium Length Hair
+Sarah Maslow Yes...I am 100% capable of reading. I was just saying to her, after she said she had short hair, that it was not actually short hair.
doesnt matter have you seen her in person Melissa
