What is beach hair? Well, “beach hair” refers to a hairstyle that emulates the natural, tousled, and textured look one might achieve after spending a day at the beach. Beach waves hair is often characterized by loose, messy waves or curls, and a slightly undone, effortless appearance. This year many are raving about Sea Salt Spray for the beach hair look. If you are dreaming about the beach and want that beach hair, here is a DIY spray for beach hair. I absolutely love it! It is so easy and actually gives you the beach look you want.
How To Make Beach Waves In Hair
I sometimes use Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray for my curly hair. If you have curly hair, you know the pain of finding the right kind of hair product that will keep your hair looking fabulous and also keep the frizz away. This does exactly that. When you use other hair products, they may leave your hair feeling sticky or hard; however, using a beach hair spray leaves your hair feeling light, not sticky, and frizz free. If you were to go buy this amazing spray, the price can range from $20-30. As an alternative, you can create your own DIY beach hair with this simple DIY Spray.
Beach Waves Hair Spray Recipe
The natural waves and curls associated with beach hair add texture and volume, creating a fuller and more dynamic look. One of the most popular products for achieving beach hair is sea salt spray, which mimics the effect of saltwater on hair, adding texture and waves. All of the ingredients for the DIY Beach Hair Spray can be found at any grocery store.
You will need:
- 8 oz or larger spray bottle

- 1.5 tsp of Coconut Oil (or try Dabur Vatika Coconut Hair Oil)
- 1 tsp of hair gel of your choice

A Little Bit More About DIY Beach Hair
Beach hair can be adapted for various lengths and types of hair, making it a versatile style that can suit many different looks.
Because my hair is naturally curly and thick, you might want to adjust the DIY beach hair recipe slightly if you have fine or straight hair.
– For more hold, add more salt to the spray (but too much salt may dry your hair out.)
– If you have fine or oily hair, reduce the amount of coconut oil or do not use it at all.
– If you do not have much curls in your hair, it will result in waves more than curls. Scrunching hair while it air dries can help enhance natural waves and curls.
*Note: Coconut oil is solid and will harden up at temperatures under 78 degrees. So you can microwave the spray for 15 seconds, set it out in the sun or leave it in the bathroom when you are taking a shower. This way it will melt the ingredients together.
Conclusion
The slightly messy and undone nature of beach hair means it doesn’t require meticulous styling, making it a low-maintenance option. It embraces a natural, carefree appearance, which can be a refreshing change from more polished and styled looks.
I know I am making some beach hair spray to keep my curly hair beach hair ready! Now that you see how simple this process is to make do you think you’ll make your own sea salt spray for your DIY beach hair?
