JANUARY
2026
Ever wondered how to make wavy hair with a flat iron that looks like you just stepped off the beach? Beach waves are relaxed, effortless, and universally flattering. The best part? You don’t need a curling iron. With the right technique and a quality tool like the TYMO FLIPRO hair straightener waver, you can master beach waves using a flat iron at home—quickly, safely, and with minimal damage.
What You’ll Need: Prep for Perfect Beach Waves
Before diving into how to make wavy hair with a flat iron, gather these essentials:
- Heat Protectant Spray – Protect your strands from heat damage.
- Texturizing or Sea Salt Spray – Adds grip and ensures waves last longer.
- Hair Clips – Keep sections organized.
- TYMO FLIPRO 2-in-1 Comb + Straightener – Makes shaping and smoothing effortless.
TYMO FLIPRO heats up quickly with Dual PTC technology, features wide plates for full coverage, and emits 200M negative ions to reduce frizz. It’s safe with auto shutoff and compatible with global voltage for travel.
Step-by-Step: How to Create Beach Waves Using a Flat Iron
Step 1: Start With Clean, Dry Hair
Make sure your hair is completely dry. Damp hair stretches and frizzes under heat, making waves harder to hold. If your hair is very straight, a light blow-dry helps smooth the cuticle first.
Step 2: Apply Heat Protectant and Texturizer
Spray heat protectant evenly from roots to ends. Follow with a texture or sea salt spray to give your hair grip, especially important when learning how to make wavy hair with a flat iron.
Step 3: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into 3–4 horizontal sections. Use clips to hold the top layers while you work on the bottom first. Smaller sections create more defined, longer-lasting beach waves using a flat iron.
Step 4: Style With TYMO FLIPRO – Smooth, Curl, and Shape
1. Prep Your Hair
Comb thoroughly to remove any tangles. Turn on the TYMO FLIPRO and adjust the temperature according to your hair type—medium heat is usually perfect for beach waves using a flat iron.
2. Smooth Strands
Glide the heated comb side through each section to smooth and sleek your hair. This reduces frizz and prepares the strands for effortless waves. Repeat until all hair is sleek and polished.
3. Curl & Flip Ends
Switch to the flat iron side to add soft curls or flip the ends. Twist the iron away from your face while sliding down the hair for natural waves. For a relaxed look, leave the ends slightly loose.
4. Finalize Waves
Check all sections to ensure every strand is styled. Let waves cool completely before touching, then finish with a light styling spray to lock in your beachy texture.
Pro Tricks for Better Beach Waves With a Flat Iron
- Loose vs. Tight Waves: Tighter twists with slower glides create defined waves; looser, shorter passes make relaxed beach waves.
- Add Volume and Texture After Styling: Let waves cool, then shake or finger-comb to loosen the pattern. Finish with a light hairspray or texturizer for hold.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much heat – Start lower and increase only if necessary.
- Skipping heat protectant – Protect hair to prevent damage.
- Clamping too tightly – Gentle pressure yields soft, natural waves.
- Not letting waves cool – Touching or brushing while hot flattens the waves.
With practice, creating beautiful beach waves using a flat iron will become second nature.
