Short Hair Inspo for Real Life
If you're short on time but still want great-looking hair, a hair waver is one of the easiest ways to add texture and volume — especially if you’ve got short hair. Whether you’re a beginner, a mom juggling 10 things, part of the Gen Z wave-loving crew, or a salon pro looking for quick results, these tips will help you get the most from your waver.
And yes, you can get effortless waves without the stress.
1. Start With the Right Waver
The tool you use matters. The Mermade Double Hair Waver is a great option — it heats up quickly, is easy to use (even for beginners), and works really well on short styles. It’s also compact enough for small bathrooms and busy mornings.
2. Protect Before You Style
Before you plug in, spray on a heat protectant. It only takes a few seconds and helps prevent damage — especially if you’re styling a few times a week.
3. Work in Small Sections
Sectioning your hair into smaller pieces (about 1 inch wide) helps you get more even waves. It may take a bit longer at first, but the results are worth it and hold up better throughout the day.
4. Clamp, Hold, Repeat
Starting near the roots, clamp the waver, hold for about 5 seconds, then move down the strand. With the Mermade Double Hair Waver, the dual barrels create soft, defined waves with minimal effort. No fancy wrist tricks required.
5. Alternate Directions for a Natural Look
To avoid that too-perfect “crimped” pattern, alternate the direction of each section. This gives your waves a more natural, tousled texture.
6. Let It Cool
Let your hair cool completely before touching it. Once cooled, gently finger-comb or shake out your waves for a softer, more relaxed finish.
7. Finish with Texture Spray
Wrap it up with a light mist of texture spray or dry shampoo to add volume and hold. If you’re in a rush, just flip your head, spray, scrunch, and go.
Quick Recap:
If you want waves that look good and last, the Mermade Double Hair Waver is a solid tool to have on hand. It's practical, effective, and beginner-friendly — a real win for anyone working with short hair and a tight schedule.
Waving your short hair doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right approach and a little practice, you’ll be styling like a pro in no time.
