Depending on the hair obv... but my two favourite things to get the beachy curl look, with staying power are.... My conical wand, I adore it, far better than my tongs. And I use some backcombing powder to give it some grip, some texture, only a bit mind, and it stays lovely with a good spray after. And I use a good shine spray to compensate for the powder. I'm pretty new to pro hair styling, but have done it for family and freinds for ages, and I love trying new ways. Give it a go? It works on even my hardest to curl lady with long, thin hair.
