How to Achieve the Beach Wave Hairstyle With Clip-In Hair Extensions
The summer season may be over, and now autumn is in, but that shouldnβt stop you from having long, lush mermaid waves! Take it from Pia Muehlenbeck. The Instagram model, who currently has 2 million followers, is never one to shy away from admitting to using clip-in hair extensions to give her hair more volume and perfect the mermaid look. The former lawyer-turned content creator has been known for her signature mermaid hair. And in her Beach Hair tutorial, she shows you how to achieve that same look, too.
First, you need to get waving irons. Wavers are so important because this is how you curl your natural hair and hair extensions together.
Second, get hair extensions. While weft hair extensions are fine, Pia recommends using clip-in hair extensions since you can easily clip them on or off your hair should you decide to change hairstyles in a short amount of time. Whichever type you want to go for, you can find them at haircandy.com.au, the number one hair salon in the Gold Coast.
Third, clip the extensions in by layers. Start from the bottom section of your hair and work your way up to the desired area (Pia prefers clipping the extensions only about halfway through).
Fourth, start ironing your hair with the wavers. Again, layering is key. Start from the bottom section, preferably with thin layers so youβll have more volume and curls by the end, and slowly iron to the ends of your hair. Add some hair spray to each layer to hold the curls in place. Continue the process until you reach the top layer.
To make your hair not look like itβs just been ironed by a waver and give it a little puff, roughly pull apart some sections of your hair by carefully running your fingers through them. Add some frizz serum as needed to keep your hair from getting too kinky and give it a gloss. And thatβs itβyouβve achieved the mermaid wave! The beach wave hairstyle is fit for all seasons, really.
