The Easiest, Most Genius Way to Use a Flat Iron to Get Beachy Waves

There's nothing better than having a good hair day, and nothing that can put a damper faster on your parade than a bad hair day. Unfortunately, we don't always have time to make sure our 'do is perfectly coiffed. Believe or not, but perfectly unperfect beach waves are possible, and with minimal effort, thanks to this trick by Dubai-based beauty vlogger Eljammi Gozalli, or @eljammi on Instagram.

First apply a holding mousse throughout your hair, then comb it through.

Then just split your hair into two sections, and simply braid both sides.

Remember rocking this hairstyle back during school?

After about 30 minutes, heat up a flat iron and carefully go over each braid.

Easy, right?
