Run a wide-tooth comb through your hair after a trip to the beach.

The first thing you’ll want to do is run a wide-tooth comb through your hair after a trip to the beach. Sand and salt can wreak havoc on your locks, so this step is crucial in removing excess debris before it gets stuck in your strands. Always brush from top to bottom and don’t be afraid to get rough with the comb—you’ll want any remaining grains out before they have time to dry or harden.

A good way maintain moisture while protecting hair from sun damage is by using a leave-in conditioner spray after showering at night. Spray the product onto damp hair, then rub it gently into each strand with both hands until all of it has been absorbed by your scalp. This will also help prevent tangles as well as make styling easier in the morning!

Use leave-in conditioner or a curl cream on wet hair, then scrunch and let it air dry.

Once you’ve washed and rinsed your hair, squeeze out excess water. If you have hair that curls easily, use a leave-in conditioner or curl cream on wet hair. The important thing to remember here is that you want to use only enough product as necessary; more is not always better! This can make it harder for your curls to hold their shape throughout the day.

Scrunch up each section with your hands until all of the curls are formed and then let it air dry naturally — no need for a brush! You may want to put it up in a bun while it air dries if you don’t have time to wait around all day (but definitely try this method at least once). Never touch your hair while drying; otherwise, you’ll ruin those perfect beachy waves!

Try a sea salt spray for lift and texture when you’re styling second-day hair.

• To use a sea salt spray, apply it to damp hair with your hands or a comb.
• It will help create volume and texture in your waves.
• This is especially helpful if you have second-day hair because it adds some life back into them!

For touchable, frizz-free beach waves, apply an anti-frizz cream before heat styling.

One of my favorite brands is Alterna Haircare Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Masque. It’s got a soothing fragrance and contains moisturizing ingredients like rosehip oil and avocado oil. Because it’s designed to hydrate hair while offering protection against damage from the sun and other environmental stresses, it gives your locks added protection against frizz while adding shine and softness. Just don’t forget to use it in conjunction with heat styling tools—it’s not meant as a DIY alternative to a flat iron or curling wand!

If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly than Alterna’s offering, consider Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Sleek Anti-Frizz Serum ($4). This lightweight serum seals in moisture without weighing down your tresses. The best part? It’s formulated specifically for curly hair types! If that doesn’t get you excited about summer beach waves on a budget I don’t know what will…

Use a pre-styling spray to protect your strands from saltwater and wind.

Pre-styling is the process of applying a product to dry hair before curling, ironing or blow drying. This helps protect your strands from saltwater and wind damage and ensures that you get the most out of your styling tools.

Combine pre-styling with a curl cream or beachy wave mousse to achieve soft, touchable waves without frizz. If you’re going for more of an intense curl, spray in some hairspray first so it can set easily—this prevents flyaways once the curls begin to form in your hair!

Look for products formulated with sea kelp, marine extracts and algae to help keep moisture in your hair.

• Look for products formulated with sea kelp, marine extracts and algae. These ingredients can be found in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.
• Sea kelp is a natural source of proteins that adds moisture to the hair. It also helps protect against UV rays which is important during the summer months when you’ll be spending more time outdoors.
• Marine extracts are rich in vitamins and minerals that hydrate and moisturize your hair while adding shine. They also keep it healthy so it won’t become brittle or damaged by sun exposure (which may lead to split ends).
• Algae gives you soft waves without weighing them down by flattening them out at the roots like other types of product would do.* Shampoo&conditioner: Use a shampoo & conditioner that contains these ingredients because they’re good for your scalp & will help prevent dandruff too!

If you want an even better option try using a deep conditioning mask once per week after washing but before drying 🙂 Just apply directly onto clean wet strands from root-to-tip then allow 5 minutes before rinsing out completely.”

You’re going to want to preserve those beachy waves as long as possible — here’s how!

The best way to maintain the beachy waves is with a little care and attention.

• Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet hair before you get out of the shower.
• Apply leave-in conditioner or curl cream on damp hair after showering, then scrunch it all up with your hands, so that every strand is coated with product.
• Rub sea salt spray into your palms, then gently scrunch it into the ends of your hair while it’s still damp (or even better, use a diffuser). This will give you more texture and help define those waves!
• If you’re looking to preserve those curls without resorting straighteners or curling irons, consider using an anti-frizz cream first then run some heat through them once they’ve cooled down from styling. This will protect against frizz as well as strengthen them for longer wear! To keep things simple though — just use our pre-styling spray instead!
