(1) Hot tools:
you can use a 1/2 in curling iron, or a small curling wand to make small, tight curls. the smaller the iron, the smaller the curl(:
 
step 1) section your hair into small pieces (using clips), starting from the underneath of your hair. the smaller the pieces, the smaller the ringlets. make sure you spray the sections with a heat protectant. VERY IMPORTANT!
 
step 2) hold the hot tool approx. 3 inches from your head. then twist the section of hair around the hot iron. hold for 15 seconds, then let go.
 
step 3) spray with a small amount of hairspray.
 
continue doing this until you have curled ever small section of your hair. when completed, spray with hairspray. the more hairspray, the longer your cute 'do will last! (:

(2) Hair products
if your hair is already wavy or curly, you can make your curls more pronounced with a little bit of product. (:
 
step 1) after washing your hair, brush it out.
 
step 2) flip your hair upside down and scrunch mousse in it. do this to EVERY SINGLE section of your hair.
 
step 3) apply a type of gel to your hair. it doesnt have to be expensive, just as long as it has a strong hold.
 
step 4) blow your hair out with a diffuser. this will make your curls look better. rather than using a hair dryer. make sure not to brush your hair while diffusing.... your hair will look like a poofy mess! haha
 
step 5) finish off with hairspray.
 
**Tip: if you're looking for more of a wet and beachy look, skip the step 4(:
