How To Get Effortless Beach Wave Hair

The beauty of the ever-coveted beach wave is all in the imperfection. Not every wave looks the same, and from one day or one head of hair to the next, they will be effortlessly unique. The beach wave captures everything we love about the beach — tousled, undone, messy chic and effortlessly sexy.

Are you curious to learn how to achieve those beachy waves? While your natural texture pattern will have an impact, the finished look comes down to the ideal mixture of product and manipulation. The look, which has been endlessly recreated since its inception in 2004, when Vogue named Kevin Murphy the “inventor of beach hair,” has now become a style we’ve been perfecting ever since.

Secret’s out! Here’s how to get your best beachy waves ever!

Beach waves are all about adding texture to the hair. Whether working on straighter or curlier textures, the goal is simple — create a perfectly, imperfect finish that looks like you’ve just sauntered off the sand. For some, this may mean slight bends in the hair, for others a refined s-shape or softened curls. Whatever your finished look, HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY was created to capture exactly this.

A hair spray that delivers soft, natural hold on fine hair or longer lengths, this weightless salty, beach-spray is basically surfer-hair, bottled. Use this spray to set air-dried hair or scrunch in post-beach for a refined feel, with amino acids and silk proteins, your hair will be as soft as it is sexy.

 

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

WITHOUT HEAT:

  • Prep the hair with a shampoo and conditioner that matches your hair type.
  • After detangling, spray damp hair with HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY and allow to dry. If your hair needs help creating a wave, consider loosely braiding your strands until dry to enhance a natural look.
  • Alternatively, once completing your go-to air-dry routine you can spray HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY on dry hair and scrunch as needed to refresh and refine your beach hair.

 

WITH HEAT:

With a little prep and a flick of a curling wand or flat iron, beach waves can be created on any hair type.  

  • Prep the hair with a shampoo and conditioner that matches your hair type.
  • On damp hair, apply HEATED.DEFENSE + EVER.SMOOTH to protect your hair and elongate your style.  
  • Once hair is dry, section the hair and begin using a curling tong or flat iron to create waves. If extra hold is needed, spritz HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY before waving. Then spritz your finished style again with HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY to keep everything in place and add the texture you want.
