How to: No Heat Beach Waves


       I had mentioned in a previous post that a trend which seems to come back every summer is natural beach waves. However, it seems that every tutorial I have come across on how to achieve this look requires some sort of heat element. I, myself, don't use heat on my hair during summer. So, I was struggling with finding a way to achieve the same look without damaging my hair. I have discovered a few tips and products I use everyday in order to get these soft beach waves that I'd like to share with you all!

1. I rinse my hair after washing and conditioning it with cold water to increase the shine.

2. While it is still damp I use a sea salt spray. My favorite is Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. However, if you can't afford it, Mix one tsp. sea salt with eight oz. of water to make your own.

3. Lastly, I use a towel to scrunch my hair. This will absorb any extra water and scrunch the hair better than using your hands.

4. If your hair does not have any texture on it's own, you could use a light hold hairspray to keep the waves intact without getting that gross crunchy texture.

And that's it! So easy, right? This is perfect for summer. I am definitely going to be rocking this look everyday!
