Rachel Whitehurst demonstrates her unorthodox yet effective way of getting perfectly lived-in beachy waves.

We've featured Rachel Whitehurst before because of her magnificent red hair and sparkling personality. In the video below, she shares her new technique for curling her hair with a tapered wand. Rather than wrap her hair all the way to the ends, she stops mid-shaft, slides the wand out, then resumes curling the rest of the hair in the opposite direction. The resulting curl pattern is much more natural-looking and gives an effortlessly voluminous vibe. Have you tried this method before? Let us know in the comments!
