Exactly how to recreate Rosie Huntington Whiteley's beachy waves

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just shared exactly how she creates beachy waves and the timing for us Southern Hemisphere dwellers (who are likely reading this at the beach) couldn't be more perfect.

The hairstyle most assumed could only be created by a professional and therefore never recreatable by anyone who is not a professional hair stylist is actually possible. So sit back and enjoy Rosie's 12-minute easy-to-follow tutorial.

For those who would prefer a summary, keep reading...

The former Victoria's Secret model, who now heads up Rose Inc., starts from the very beginning with wet, washed hair (for anyone wanting to copy her exact routine, she used  Christophe Robin Hydrating Shampoo with Aloe Vera, and we can confirm it's bloody amazing... if you don't mind spending $44 on a shampoo and $48 on a conditioning mask). Adding a conditioning spray by Christophe Robin (again, amazing!) she then whipped out her ~Dyson~ Supersonic hair dryer to quickly dry off her hair.

But the key to her messy, done-but-undone waves is her hot tool.

She uses the Beachwave Pro, a curling wand that kindly does all the hard work for you.

Simply clamp your hair at the ends, press 'go', and watch as the barrel twirls your hair -- easy! Bonus tip (not included in RHW's video, but something we think is important to know): it burns, so press 'go' with caution. Your scalp doesn't deserve third-degree burns.

The beauty of the tutorial -- besides her actual beauty -- is Rosie proves she's just like us, she stuffs up some curls and like a true beauty vlogger pushes through and shows how to recover. Example: "This front section is a little bit too waved, so what I'm going to do is take the barrel and run the barrel along the wave to straighten it almost. You can see it's starting to look better." We totally see!

It's a special insight into how she masters her iconic model-off-duty look, and one we've been adding to our 'dream hair' Pinterest boards without realising it's actually possible to recreate.

Sure, she's using luxe brushes (a $51 Sheila Stotts brush and a ~cough~ $275 Mason Pearson paddle brush) and products that might break your post-silly season budget, but if it will get us beachy waves like Rosie, we're all in!
