How to Create Beachy Waves for Any Hair Type
Whether you're rocking a pixie cut or flaunting long hair, with a little bit of guidance and the right products, creating those perfect beachy waves is an art that anyone can get better at. So, grab your TRESemmé essentials and join us as we dive into the world of waves.
Setting the Stage for Gorgeous Beachy Waves
Before you get started executing your beachy waves, make sure your hair is ready for the styling journey. This means you need to start with clean, damp hair – either air-dried or gently towel-dried. Use a quality shampoo and conditioner, like our TRESemmé Cleanse & Replenish Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner that are designed to leave hair clean and ready for styling, to ensure the best results. This sets the foundation to help your waves take shape seamlessly.
Once your hair is clean and conditioned, have a lightweight styling mousse, like our TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse, or a sea salt spray handy to add texture and help with the styling process. This will help give your waves that authentic, beach-inspired look. With your hair prepped and ready for styling, here’s what to do to flawlessly execute a beach waves hairstyle on any hair length.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Wavey Beach Look for any Hair Length
Beach waves hairstyle for short hair
Short hair, don't you care? Then add some charm and movement to your pixie cut with beachy waves. After applying the TRESemmé Mousse, use a small-barreled curling iron to add soft waves to your hair. Focus on curling random sections for a more relaxed, tousled finish. Keep the curls loose and avoid over-styling to maintain that effortlessly chic appearance.
For an extra touch, gently run your fingers through your hair and finish with a spritz of our TRESemmé Firm Hold Hair Spray to help keep your waves in place without weighing them down or causing stiffness.
Beach Waves Hairstyle for Medium-length Hair
For those rocking shoulder to medium-length hair, beachy waves are a breeze. You can create a side or middle part in your hair to add an element of casual sophistication. Then create a loose beach waves hairstyle with a flat iron or curling wand, focusing on the lower sections for a laid-back vibe. Try to vary the direction of your curls – some towards your face, others away – to achieve that windswept effect. The key is to avoid tight curls and keep the waves relaxed for that effortlessly cool look.
Enhance your mid-length waves with TRESemmé's Keratin Smooth Shine Serum for a glossy finish without the frizz. This final touch will have your waves looking polished and ready for any summer get-together.
Beach Waves Hairstyle for Long Hair
If you have long, flowing hair, beachy waves offer an opportunity to showcase your hair's beauty. Start by sectioning your hair before you can apply a generous amount of the TRESemmé Heat Defence Styling Spray to protect your hair from styling heat. Next, use a large-barreled curling wand to create gorgeous loose waves.
To add extra dimension, braid random sections of your hair before curling, leaving them untouched until the end. Once you unravel the braids, you'll have a mix of waves and softer curls, for a beautiful ocean-wave look. Seal the deal with our TRESemmé Extra Hold Styling Hair Spray for a look that lasts all day and night.
Pro tip: Hold your styling tool vertically for a more relaxed, beachy effect.
