7 Ways To Get Beach Waves Without Going In The Ocean

by Ni'Kesia Pannell

With summer almost here, the need to hit the beach is undeniable. Whether you're just a lover of the ocean or just want to feel the cool breeze hit your face, heading to the beach on a hot day is like none other. Another reason the beach may be on your agenda right now is get the most perfect waves in your hair as the aftermath. Unless you're in a state that's nearest to water, not everyone has the luxury for daily or weekly beach wave hair. Never fret though, because there are plenty of ways to get beach waves without going in the ocean.

Although beach waves are not really my thing to sport, I always find them to be super pretty on others. There's something about that messy, but chic look that many women achieve when they wear their hair in beach waves. And, not surprisingly, most of the women rocking this style of tresses didn't achieve them by going to the beach. Done at home with multiple techniques, there's a way to get that perfect beach hair regardless of the length or texture of your hair.
