We know—it’s fall. So why are we talking about beachy waves? For one, those effortless, woke-up-like-this waves are always en vogue, no matter what season we’re in. And two, with hacks this easy, you’ll wonder why you don’t rock this style all the time. But don’t take our word for it. Let hairstylist Melissa Hurkman walk you through how to get wavy hair in three fool-proof methods.

Bobby pins, a flat iron, a curling iron, and a couple of hair-loving, frizz-fighting products are all you need to pull off this universally flattering ‘do. Chances are, you already have everything you need to create undone, no-fuss waves in a snap. But if you don’t, we got you covered. Look below to find a few faves your hair will love, no matter what looks you’re cooking up this fall. And of course, let us know how it turned out! Post a pic and tag us! We can’t wait to see how you look.
