Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray, word up. (pricey, though - you have to buy at a salon)

You can also go to the beach and get your hair wet swimming or you can make your own.

"Simply purchase an empty spray bottle and a package of Sea Salt from the grocery store and you are ready to go. Mix a couple of teaspoons of the Sea Salt in with two cups of water. Pour the blend into your spray bottle and shake well. Once the Sea Salt has dissolved, you are ready to create gorgeous beach waves.

Your Sea Salt mix will have a strong hold and can be used to create a wavy hairstyle by spraying on wet hair and scrunch your locks around your fingers.

Scrunching your hair will set the wave. Allow your locks to air dry to ensure that your waves do not become frizzy. When your tresses are fully dry, spritz lightly with hairspray to make certain your luscious Sea Salt waves last.

air that is healthy goes a long way towards making you look beautiful. If you are creating your own Sea Salt Spray at home, never use more than a couple of teaspoons of salt in your bottle. By using more you run the risk of leaving your locks dry.

Another way to create glorious Sea Salt waves is with braids. Keep in mind that it is often easier to work on hair that has not been freshly washed, as your natural hair oils will help to hold a hairstyle better.

Sea Salt Spray For Loose Sexy Hairstyles

Styling Steps:

Begin with dry hair that has not been freshly washed.

Use a wide toothcomb to detangle any knots in your hair.

Spritz your locks liberally with Sea Salt Spray.

Braid your hair in a number of loose braids and secure. The smaller the braids and the more braids you create, the greater the amount of wave you will be left with.

When your locks are fully dry, remove the braids.

Spritz lightly with a little more Sea Salt Spray.

Use your fingers to arrange your hair to your satisfaction.

You can opt to create your braids just before bed if you desire."

These surf sprays ("also called sea spray, surf spray or beach spray") will make your hair look loose, sexy, and beachy, which is what you want. Also they help bring out your natural curls better. "Spray it on damp hair and air dry or scrunch while blow drying or diffusing."

"This is by Ken Pave (Jessica Simpson's stylist)

Secrets to Year-Round "Beach" Hair
Summer is coming to an end, but beach hair is still riding high on the wave of style! Hold on to this sexy style all year long, it's as easy as a day at the beach.

To transition this look from beach into fall fashion think "polished." This sexy look for the beach was tousled and wind blown. For fall, it gets all dressed up with ultra shine and a little refinement. This is how I styled both Jessica Simpson and Paulina Rubio for the Latin Grammy Awards.

Work With Your Hair:
Not against it! Depending on your hair type, you can easily achieve amazing beach hair all year long.

For fine to medium texture hair that is straight to loosely wavy:

Shampoo and condition your hair before bed and towel dry.

Evenly distribute a conditioning mousse (with hold) in sections throughout your entire head, when finished comb through.

Scrunch your hair and get a good night sleep! You'll wake up the next morning with bed head with texture and volume! From here you'll only need 10-15 minutes to refine this look.

Begin at your nape, twisting and curling your hair around a medium size curling iron from the midshaft to the ends. Once you reach your crown twist and curl your hair from the roots to the ends. (Working on hair that is "dirty" helps your style to last longer).

Allow your hair to cool and then soften your waves by finger styling your hair with a greaseless lightweight shine serum.

For thick, curly or coarse hair:

Shampoo and condition as usual. Towel dry enough so your hair will dry by morning. I recommend applying a relaxing balm to your hair in sections and then combing through. This will help smooth your curls and tame any frizz. You should be fast asleep by now,dreaming of your loose waves!

In the morning, finish by beginning at your nape and twisting and curling your hair around a medium size curling iron. (From the midshaft to the ends). When you reach your crown twist and curl from the roots to the ends.

Allow your hair to cool.

Finish by loosening your curls to a soft summer wave by finger styling with a lightweight greaseless shine serum.

Island Perfection
For those who dare to surf into more adventurous territory, try setting your hair into braids before bed for a true beach look. For fine hair apply a conditioning mousse and for thick hair apply a relaxing balm to your towel dried hair. Remember always comb your product through for even distribution. For a more modern look, I recommend starting your braids two inches from your scalp. Also, larger braids will produce looser wave and smaller braids will result in a crimped look. When you wake up unbraid your dry hair and loosen your waves by finger styling with a lightweight greaseless shine serum.

Air Dry for Healthy Hair
I truly believe that the basis of any great hairstyle begins with healthy hair. Allowing your hair to dry naturally overnight eliminates all of the damage from blow drying and will keep your fall locks in super shiny easy-to-manage shape! Touching this style up in the morning only requires minutes. I recommend getting 2-3 days' wear out of this style. The style lasts longer as a result of the wet set and leaves you with more time to enjoy your day."

First I recommend buying Aussie Sprunch Hairspray. It is in a purple bottle and you can buy it just about in every drugstore. The website is; [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) To make my hair messy like the picture, I usually spray the Sprunch all over my hair and take my hands and claw them up against my hair. This sort of allows my hair to get sticky and messy.

Since your hair is wavy/curly. you'd want to put a good leave in conditioner in your hair and then add a good firm gel. Depending on your price range, you would have to check out the options at a local store.

Another way to make it wavy/messy is to french braid your hair and leave it in when you are showering. [Make sure you know how to clean your hair with braids though] After your shower, towel dry your braids but not too hard or your braids will fall off. Add mousse to your braids and hairspray. Then take off your braids. It is important not to run your fingers through your hair! Add hairspray and Ta-Da!

A website that can help you tons is; [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Good Luck!
