Effortless Beach Waves: Your Complete Guide to Using a 3 Bar Curling I

Beach waves are the epitome of effortless, sun-kissed beauty—but achieving that relaxed, textured look doesn’t require a trip to the shore. With the right tools and technique, you can create soft, natural-looking waves right at home. Enter the 3 bar curling iron—a versatile styler designed to give you gorgeous, undone curls with minimal effort.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use a triple barrel curling iron to create perfect beach waves that last all day, tailored to your hair type.

Unlike single-barrel irons, a 3 bar curling iron creates multiple waves in one clamp, cutting styling time in half. The alternating barrel sizes produce soft, flowing waves rather than tight curls, making it ideal for achieving that casual beachy texture. The TYMO CUES 3-in-1 Interchangeable Curling Iron takes it further—you can switch between three barrel sizes to customize your wave pattern.

Not every day calls for full styling.

Sometimes, you just want your bangs to behave before a meeting or a quick video call. A cordless hair straightener fits into those moments easily.

On busy mornings, many people reach for compact tools like the TYMO CLAMGO simply because they’re easy to handle and already charged, making quick fringe touch-ups less of a process and more of a habit.

For loose beach waves, we recommend the medium barrel size. The TYMO CUES comes with three interchangeable barrels, so you can choose based on your hair length and desired wave size.

Plug in your 3 bar curling iron and power it on. Set the temperature according to your hair type:
This combination improves consistency, speed, and frizz control during styling.

Fine or thin hair: 160°C / 320°F
Normal or slightly curly hair: 200°C / 390°F
Thick or curly hair: 220°C / 450°F
The LED display will show when it’s reached the set temperature.

Divide hair into manageable sections. Start from the bottom and work upward.

Take a section of hair (about 2 inches wide) and place it into the triple barrel curling iron, clamping down midway down the hair shaft. Hold for 8–10 seconds, then release. Repeat throughout your head, alternating the direction of the waves for a more natural look.

Allow the waves to cool completely before touching or brushing. This helps them set longer.

Gently run your fingers through your hair to separate the waves. For extra hold, use a light-hold texturizing spray—never before heating.

Not all hair is created equal—and neither should your styling routine be. TYMO 3 bar curling iron is designed with intelligent temperature control, making it a versatile tool for every hair type, from fine and straight to thick and curly.

Use the lowest heat setting (160°C / 320°F) to avoid overheating and prevent damage. The ceramic-coated barrel ensures gentle, even heat distribution, adding volume without stripping moisture. For best results, work with smaller sections and hold the iron for just 6–8 seconds.

Set your triple barrel curling iron to 200°C / 390°F for balanced, lasting waves. The medium barrel is ideal for creating natural-looking beach waves that hold their shape without looking overdone.

Higher heat (220°C / 450°F) helps smooth the cuticle and set the wave pattern effectively. The larger barrel size is perfect for looser, more defined waves that won’t fall flat. For extra control, lightly mist with heat protectant before styling.

No matter your hair texture, the key is to start low and adjust gradually. The TYMO CUES remembers your last temperature setting, so you can quickly pick up where you left off—making how to use a triple barrel curling iron intuitive even for beginners.
