Beach waves for a beach girl.

‘waves’ is not just a hairstyle. It is a desired look.. After all, who doesn’t envy the girl with beautiful beach waves ? 

And it is possible to get beautiful beach waves in your hair naturally, by following these simple methods. So here is how to achieve a summer mane full of waves. 

 

Dry hair properly by using a towel

A slight change in your drying process can be the game-changer for you. According to Kevin Hughes, a global creative ambassador for Moroccanoil, you can enhance a wave by just toweling off till it’s about 40 percent dry. How long does it take for your hair to dry? That actually depends on how thick your hair is. If your hair is thick, then it will take a bit more time compared to someone who has thin hair. He further advises everyone to add a wave-enhancing styling product so that the hair gets some grip. After doing this, use a broad tooth comb to make sure that the product spreads evenly everywhere in your hair.

 

Let the beach touch your hair

Okay, let us explain this one to you. The salty breeze at the ocean is, without any doubt, the best styling companion when it comes to giving your hair texture. And hair experts have managed to bring this goodness into bottles. According to hairstylist Mickey Charles of Cutler Salon, it is possible to recreate a similar airy texture like that of the oceans by incorporating a few spritzes of dry shampoo or sea salt spray or something similar from the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair. And if you cannot have sea salt spray, maybe you can use a leave-in-conditioner and a small amount of light styling gel or mousse. 

You can also achieve this by mixing two tablespoons of salt in ½ a liter of warm water. Then apply it over your hair after shampooing and do not wash it off.

 

Curl your hair into buns

If you don’t have time to heat style or tinker with various hair products, you can do this in just a few minutes the night earlier. According to prominent hairstylist Danny Jeleca, You can divide your hair into two halves and twist each side into tight buns and safeguard them in place with bobby pins or elastics overnight. And when you wake up, release the bobby pins and plump any limp or flat areas by massaging them in water. This will stimulate the hair follicles to give it a little increase in volume.

 

Braid your hair back

Braids are the easiest hack in the universe for straightforward, undone waves. But what matters the most is the type of twist that you are doing. Kevin Hughes advises to go for French braids rather than doing mainstream three-stranded braids. This will help keep your hair hoisted up at the scalp. And this will avoid any flatness at your roots. You can swiftly incorporate four to five french braids all throughout your hair and leave the last couple of inches of your hair at the bottom. This will help keeping your waves casual. 

 

Modify the size of your waves

Individually styling without any plan can save you a lot of time and surprisingly, can result in a much better look. Because perfect curls do not ever look frigid. Christine Healey, who is a hairstylist at Rita Hazan Salon, gives us a piece of advice on this matter. According to her, the key to getting natural waves is to wrap different sized parts in opposite angles or directions so that they are not consistent. This is in the case when and if you are using a curling iron or rod.

 

Slacken your snug curls

Celebrity hairstylist Richard Marin of Remington has some words of advice for those women who have got snug curls. According to him, applying argan oil throughout the hair and mildly pulling on your curls with your fingertips can surprisingly ease out your curls, which will result in natural-looking waves. And if you want to loosen up your curls, even more, a swift run with a diffuser will definitely do the job.

 

Some Tips:

• If you want to reduce frizz, you can dry your hair with a microfiber towel or a t-shirt.
• Want to make your very own sea salt spray at home? To do this, you can mix 1 cup of water with one tablespoon of sea salt. If you want less texture, add less amount of sea salt, and for more texture, use more amount of sea salt.
• If you think that your style needs more volume, spritz sea salt spray onto a brush, then use it to aggravate the roots of your hair.
• If you are suffering from hair frizzing problems, then we suggest you to start using anti-frizz or frizz control products. Application of serum to your hair or using sulfate-free shampoos should help too.
• How long your naturally wavy beach hair will last depends on your hair type, the humidity or the shortage of it, and the wind. You can learn more from theidlemen
