How to Get Beachy Waves without Sea Salt

Like many other women who like low-maintenance summer hairstyles, one of my most go-to ways to wear my hair this season is in beachy waves. The carefree style is easy to achieve, even if you’re not anywhere near the ocean.

As someone with pretty thick and dry hair, I actually tend to stay away from sea salt products (what most people rely on for this look) since most of them do little more than dry my hair out. So I’ve had to come up with my own trick to get beachy waves that are soft and moisturized while still textured. It’s really the easiest thing ever, and all the products you need can be picked up at your local Walgreens on the cheap.

What You need:

  • TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo
  • TRESemme Moisture Rich Conditioner
  • Nexxus Comb Thru Touchable Hold Finishing Mist
  • Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo

Step 1

Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. The TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo & Conditioner works really well with my naturally textured hair to give me some intense hydration without weighing it down. My hair is left soft and touchable, but easy to style.

Next, divide your hair into sections and start braiding them from root to tip. The looser the braid, the more quickly it will dry and more natural the waves will look. Let your hair air dry while in the braids. If you need to style quicker, you can assist with a hair dryer.

Take the braids out, and finger comb through your hair. Use a hairspray like the Nexxus Comb Thru Touchable Hold Finishing Mist which adds texture and hold without making your hair feel or look stiff. As I spray it, I scrunch the hair in my fists to give it a little more volume and shape after having combed it through.

Later in the week, revive the style with a lightweight dry shampoo like the Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo. It goes on invisible, even on my dark hair, and absorbs oil at the roots so you can extend your hairstyle an extra day or two past its prime. It’s a lifesaver during summer, when my hair gets limp with sweat.

    Very nice. Salt makes my hair look like a beach bum rather than a mermaid so I really appreciate alternatives to salt spray.

    I braid my wet hair for waves, too – mostly because I want to avoid heat styling. I always have hair envy when I see your photos.

    Great pictorial. I like waves or curls for the summer. Your hair turned out great.

    I hate to admit it but I don’t know how to do a braid. I’ve never done one in my life. But I never had as much hair as you do.

    Such voluminous and beautiful hair you have, babe! Salt does the exact same thing to my fro (I’ve never tried products – I only know this from swimming at the beach) so it’s cool that you’ve found a way around this that looks fantastic AND isn’t damaging to your hair.

    Love your beachy waves. I often use a dry shampoo even if my hair is clean just to add some texture to my fine hair.

    That Nexxus gel spray looks interesting! I love braiding my wet hair to keep the tangles away while it dries. You hair looks so cute with the braids – and waves!

    Until this summer my go-to has always been a variation of a messy bun, because my hair used to be very long. It felt like a fur hat on especially hot days if I wore it down! Now that I have a lob I love rocking beachy waves, or rather I basically wash my hair, spritz it with some sea salt spray, and let it air dry. Looks good enough haha 🙂

    Braids is a great idea instead of sea salt! Great look
