I have previously done a post on french plaits/ braids because I had only just discovered how to do them at the time (If you want to know how to do them please view this post). At the time I wanted to see if they created waves but I was too scared to experiment in case my hair came out like a lions mane rather than the beachy waves I was really hoping for, therefore I stuck to two simple braids.
Recently however I tried it out and its great!! I did one French braid down the middle of my head rather than two either side. I slept on it ( I dont use heat on my hair thats why I do not use curlers) and it came out really really good it wasnt quite as curly as I had hoped the first time, therefore I made the plait tighter and made it damper the next time I tried and now I use this method all the time! I love it.
I think it gives beachy undone waves, where as two french braids either side of the head would look much curlier.
The curls really will depend on your hair type, mines completely straight so they do tend to be loose but it seems really curly to me as im so used to it being straight. If however you have thicker curly hair it will hold the curls much better and be tighter.

| Your curls with probably look similar to this. |

They will look more like this at the end of the day without
hairspray and if you have straight hair.
This still looks really pretty though. |
