You know the perfectly textured curls you’re rewarded with after a swim in the sea?
Taking inspo from California surfer girls, beachy waves are the more relaxed sister of the pre-Raphaelite curls that turned heads on the Met Gala red carpet last year, as sported by Kaia Gerber, Sophie Turner, and Olivia Rodrigo.
Effortless beachy waves not only create volume and texture that shows off your hair’s colour and shine, but they’re also the perfect accessory to the ‘I just threw this on’ outfit that turns heads.
If you’re keen to give the trend a try without a dip in the ocean, an Aussie-founded hair waver that’s blowing up #hairtok— the Mermade Pro Hair Waver — is just one of the tools that can help you achieve the look, with its ionic ceramic barrels that curl your hair without crimping it.
To get the best results, we recommend parting your hair in the middle after a wash (ideally you’d let your hair air dry but blow drying is fine if you’re out of time) before dividing your hair into three sections and spritzing on some heat protectant.
Then, take the lowest section first (while clipping the others away) and clamp on Mermade Pro Hair Waver’s high-grade ionic ceramic barrels, which help protect your hair by sealing each strand’s cuticles as it styles. Hold for 3-5 seconds, before repeating for the other two sections, and voilà— beach waves are up, baby.
If you’re worried about your ability to nail the look, Mermade Pro’s many celebrity fans are testament to how easy it is; Hailey Bieber, Sofia Richie, and Khloé Kardashian are all converts. In fact, Khloé loved the hot tool so much after coming across it on her Instagram Explore page (relatable), she gifted us with a how-to tutorial vid.
Fashion it-girl Matilda Djerf has lately become the latest star to jump on to the Mermade Hair wagon, styling her iconic bouncy blowout using the tool.

“I’m not the best at doing my hair, so I like really simple easy tools and that’s what I”m about to show you guys”, Khloé said in a Reels video, where she demo’d the hot tool.
“This waver, I mean anyone can do it. If I can do it, anyone can do it… And of course, if you want it wavier, you hold it on longer, but it’s so easy.”
