Beach waves hair

Wet hair that dries in the sun on the beach – I’m sure you know the look. Each of us has had natural, beachy waves at least once – no matter if you get subtle waves or tight curls, the look is always stunning.

The effect of sea water on hair and what we know as beach waves can be listed among the benefits of sea baths. On the other hand, there are some downsides as well – salt may dry out your hair and make it rough, brittle and dull, plus UV radiation speeds up aging and makes hair color fade.

That is why you should know how to get the beach waves at home. This is an option made for all girls who aren’t going to the seaside but they’re dying to see gorgeous, natural waves in the mirror.

How to create beach waves at home?

Contrary to appearances it’s very simple – you can get the beach look by using a DIY sea salt spray. With the product your hair feels like kissed by the sea breeze and you don’t need to worry about extremely dry, sun-damaged hair and irritations caused by the sea water.

Everyone can make this natural hair-curling spray because it’s made up of ingredients that we have at home. How to get round to it?

DIY BEACH WAVES SALT SPRAY

Essential ingredients:

  • 1 glass of hot water
  • 1 teaspoon of argan oil (or other natural oil)
  • 2 teaspoons of hair conditioner
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt

Preparation:

Add oil and salt to hot water and mix until they dissolve. Add conditioner and mix again. Pour the mixture into atomizer bottle.

How to use:

This DIY salt spray lets you magic out real beach waves, effortlessly! Shake the bottle before use. Spray the product onto damp hair after brushing and scrunch up gently. Ideally bend your head to boost hair volume and easily define the curl.

Note! Never brush the hair after using the spray. If you let the hair dry naturally, your beach waves will be the most beautiful.

Is at-home, salt-curling routine safe and hair-friendly?

Fans and opponents of this method come in equal numbers. The enthusiasts underline that getting beach waves at home is safe, for example because you get an extra conditioning agent such as oil and conditioner. On the other hand, the opponents say that salt makes hair lose moisture fast and worsens its condition.

Only long-term use of this method may cause hair damage. A single use of a salt spray won’t do much harm, especially in the case of healthy hair.
