How to Achieve Effortless Beachy Waves: Pro Styling Tutorial

Styling for Natural Waves

For a light, natural wavy look, reach for a texturizing styling spray. Apply it to damp hair for the best results.

The gold standard in seawater-inspired sprays is Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, loved by pros for its authentic texture.

With a bit of patience, let your hair air dry—ideal for soft hair types, especially with a layered cut like Freja Beha Erichsen's iconic style.

Alternatively, flip your head upside down while blow-drying, gently combing through with your fingers. A diffuser attachment enhances the effect.

Caution: Limit saltwater spray use to avoid dryness and buildup, mimicking endless beach days without the perks of sun and sea.

Curling Tools for Defined Waves

For straight hair, classic curling irons deliver reliable results. Skilled stylists can even create waves with a flat iron.

Opt for a larger-barrel curling iron for voluminous waves. Once curled, flip your head upside down, mist with hairspray, and scrunch sections between your palms to loosen.

Heated rollers work wonders too, while wave clips are perfect for enhancing naturally wavy hair.

Pro Tip: Focus curls on the ends and boost roots with volumizing shampoo or treatment for lift and movement.
