Summer is for waking up slow and letting your hair air dry. Aside from blow dryers simply being too hot for summer weather, they also cause brittle hair and unwanted breakage. Beachy waves are an easy solution for avoiding the blow dryer, and they’re also the perfect look when paired with the season’s trending styles. This natural, laid-back look will draw more attention to your sun-brightened hair too.

To achieve flawless beachy waves, simply apply one of these beach sprays after getting your hair wet in the shower. Comb, spray liberally over your hair, and lightly scrunch the pieces. Wait for your hair to air dry and see immediate results that last all day. Just be careful—rocking beach waves on a daily basis has been known to cause a serious urge to jet-set to a tropical island!

Here are our five favorite beach sprays for wavy hair. We’ve also included one DIY spray because it’s super simple, and of course, budget-friendly!

Lastly, we have the simplest DIY recipe for flawless beachy waves. The only three things you need include: sea salt, water, and a spray bottle. Fill the spray bottle with water, add two teaspoons of sea salt, and shake. Shake the bottle before each use to make sure your hair receives enough salt. If you wish, you can also add a drop or two of essential oil in your favorite scent.
