The Best (and Quickest!) Beach Wave Method, Ever.

Published August 25, 2015 by shepic83

I’m seriously obsessed with beach-waved hair. It is one of my absolute favorite things about summer! It’s incredibly easy, requires NO hair dryer, and barely any effort, but yet it can produce the most incredible results- if done correctly.
Below I have outlined the best way to achieve effortless beach hair, without even setting foot on the beach!

You will need the following items:

-Salt Spray: there are many great products out there, but my favorite happens to be Bumble & Bumble’s Surf Spray ($27-Sephora)
*You can even make your own by adding one cup of warm water with 1 tbsp of all-natural sea salt and 2 tsp of coconut or argan oil (optional for added moisture) to a spray bottle, and shake to combine.

-Atleast 4 small elastic rubber bands

-A spray bottle filled with water

-Optional: A flat-iron (I use a T3 ceramic iron)

Instructions:

1. Divide second-day hair into 4 sections.

2. Twist each section tightly AWAY from your face, and spray with water until damp. Then spray again with the salt spray.

3. Coil the coated, twisted section a “cinnamon roll-shaped” bun, and secure with an elastic hair tie, leaving out just the ends of the hair.

(Pictured below. Please don’t mind the lack of makeup and glasses.)


4. Spray bun again with salt spray.

5. Repeat for all 4 sections.

(Note: You can divide hair into more than 4 sections if you prefer a tighter more pronounced curl, or if you have very thick hair.)

6. Let air dry completely (the longer the better!) and then undo each section.

It should look like this when you undo each section:


7. Straighten just the ends of hair, if desired, and then carefully pull apart each section to separate waves.

8. Flip hair upside down and tousle hair slightly.

*Optional: Spray some dry shampoo just to the roots to create added volume.

The Finished Result:

 
Voila!

Now go out and enjoy the beautiful summer sunshine while it lasts!
