Question Posted Thursday September 27 2012, 6:54 pm
So I have wavy hair and I really want beach waves. I don;t feel like using any heat products just because I hate using heat items. I just want beach waves from ike braiding but whenever I braide my hair it looks crimped and I tried bigger braides but it just wore off. Don't even get me started on salt spray. I used it once. Ugh it was terrible. At first it looked cute but, further on it started to seriously mess up. I hated it. And my hair got dry too and tangly. So Is there any other methods? Not like that bun one too unless you've got a great tutorial. Last time I tried that it just went funky. Thanks fro reading! Please help meh

I think salt spray is seriously the best option. I use it sometimes. There are quite a few brands out there, so experiment and try them out. They're not all bad. I find Bumble & Bumble is a good brand.
Also, try "Samy Fat Hair 0 Calorie Thickening Spray". It's similar to salt spray, but doesn't leave that horrible grittiness you sometimes get with salt spray. I use this product nearly everyday.
You could also try a powder boost. It's a powder that you put into your roots, and then massage in. I'm not a scientist, but I'm guessing that it sucks up all the moisture. This gives it a really powerful boost. Again, it makes your hair sort of dry and your roots will feel disgustingly dry for a while.
Also, a little mouse (hair mouse) will help give that flicky texture.
Hold it all together with hairspray. I use Samy Fat Hair 0 Calorie Thickening Hairspray. The products are pricey, but I buy all mines when it's a buy 1 get 1 free promo. And whenever I go to the shop, it's ALWAYS on promotion.
So go for this -
1. Wash hair
2. Keep it in a towel until damn
3. When damp, spray your spray of choice. So this will be either salt, or thickening spray
4. Either use a hairdryer (be also sure to use heat protection) or let it dry loosely.
5. When nearly dry, put a little bit of mouse in your hands, and rub. Then apply to your hair. Not just on the outside, be sure to get your roots and inside too.
6. When your hair is completely dry, get some powder boost, and sprinkle it onto your roots (after you've parted it). Rub into your roots, and finish.
If I had to guess on how to go for the style, I would take the above approach.
