Zara McDermott’s tousled beachy waves are the perfect easy hairstyle for summer, and she’s shared exactly how she creates them thanks to an affordable £30 hair waver
If you’re looking for a quick, easy and effortless way to style your hair this summer, look no further than Zara McDermott’s beachy waves. The former reality star has been spotted wearing the style on repeat whilst on holiday and filming for her new documentary, and she’s finally shared the tool she uses to create the look.
Posting on Instagram, Zara wrote: “I’ve been obsessed with waving my hair recently for summer and this waver I got on Amazon is unreal!” Zara also shared a link to her ultra-affordable styling tool, with the Revlon Wave Master Jumbo Waver priced at £29.99.

The Revlon hair waver is a more affordable version of others that are on the market right now, although now is also a great time to get your hands on some other models at discounted prices thanks to several beauty sales. LookFantastic has slashed the BondiBoost 32mm Wave Wand from £57.99 to £46.39 and the Beauty Works Waver is down from £69.99 to £56, whilst at Superdrug you can save 20% on the Mermade Pro Waver 32mm after it was reduced to £55.19 from £68.99.
However Zara’s Revlon Wave Master Jumbo Waver is still the most affordable option, and has an impressive range of settings and features to go with it. You can choose from 30 different heat settings up to 190°C which allows you to customise the temperature to suit your hair, and a tourmaline ceramic coating which reduces damage and seals your hair cuticle for smoother, shinier waves.
The three jumbo barrels help create large, loose waves that give it that tousled, relaxed look, giving you that “just got off the beach” vibe. It also has a unique extra-wide middle barrel which stops the waves from looking too uniform or perfect.
Its large size also helps cover more hair more quickly, so you can recreate Zara’s look in minutes, and it’s been designed to make sure your waves last from morning to night. However the beauty of Zara’s beachy waves is that even if they drop slightly as the day goes on, it just adds to that laidback, effortless look – truly a win win situation.
Amazon shoppers have been singing the Revlon Wave Master Jumbo Waver’s praises too, with one saying: “Top quality product, did lovely curly in my hair, a bit heavy but it works, I would highly recommend, it was delivered on time and as described.”
Another agreed: “Perfect for mermaid waves and or a slightly more deconstructed wave /curl effect. Easy to use covers good sections of hair in one go and heats up quickly. Product is big and does feels heavy for those of us with long thick hair as holding it for longer.”
One shopper struggled with the weight, writing: “I liked the adjustable temperature control on this but its so heavy! Found it very uncomfortable to use and didn’t think it held the style all that well.”
However others found the opposite, writing: “Great value for money. I bought this to give texture to my straight hair. It’s perfect and gives great results. The waves last for days. And I like that there is a heat adjustable button.”
Someone else wrote: “Definitely makes your curls shine. Long hold, even longer with products. I love it!”
