This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

For someone who spends at least an hour trying to get natural looking curls, this trick is a huge time save and looks great! This technique will give your hair a nice beach curl with hardly any effort. With summer right around the corner, this hairstyle is the perfect thing to do whether it’s a night out with your friends or a backyard pool party!
 
 

What you’ll need
Hair ties
Bobby pins
Hair Gel
Hairspray

 
 

Step 1:
Divide your damp hair into four sections.

 

Step 2:
Start twisting one section of your hair in the direction that you want the curl to go.
Twist it until it’s tight and coil it into a bun.

Step 3:
Use bobby pins to keep the bun in place.

Step 4:
Repeat with the remaining sections of the hair.

 

Step 5:
Blow dry your hair until dry (or mostly dry).

Step 6:
Undo the bobby pins and coils and finish with some hairspray!
