How-To: Sexy Beach Hair In The City

Salty, wavy, thick beach hair is super-sexy — and it doesn't have to be something that you only achieve in the summertime by the sand. Here's how to achieve this faboo tousled wind blown look during the rest of the year.

  • First, shampoo and condition your hair before bed and towel dry your hair. Evenly distribute either a mousse or product with hold to it, in even sections throughout your hair. If you have thick or wavy hair, apply a relaxing balm to smooth your curls and tame frizz. Comb through.
  • Next, scrunch your hair before you fall asleep and when you wake, your hair will have great texture and volume.
  • To fix the front, just wet and blow out the pieces that are funky. Then take a large sized curling iron and wrap about ten different pieces around it to give your hair some freshness, body and bounce.

Kusco Murphy Beach Hair, $29, was created by Australian hair stylist, Kevin Murphy. It's what this pro uses on his cover girls for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. It contains crushed Bamboo (for volume), Stinging Nettle (for strength) and Coconut Oil with Bergamot (for texture).

When hair is already dry, apply a small amount onto your hands and scrunch your hair from the tips towards your roots. The more you use the stronger the effect. Then, continue to mold your hair until you are happy with the shape.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, $21.50, is a seaweed extract based product that gives your hair a sexy, salty "sea" texture.

Spray a couple of spritzes all over your hair and then scrunch away. To refresh your hair throughout the day, continue to spritz and scrunch!

GHD Sea Spay, $23.95, is made of Dead Sea salts to add amazing matte texture and hold to your hair. It helps to create curls and surf-style waves. It also contains UVA protection and helps lock in the natural moisture of your hair.

    i love the way my hair looks after a day at the beach.. but it always smells all salty and funky! i've tried the b&b surf spray, but i can never get the same kind of volume and texture, my hair eventually flattens out and is sticky from all the stuff i spray in it. >:( stupid stubborn hair!

    I use to use this awesome salt water spray from John Frieda that I can't seem to find anymore. That gave me great beachy waves.

    Hey Eugiebird,
    Crunching, is scrunching. That was a typo, I just changed it. Nice catch, thank you.

    JessNess - Yes, that was totally it! Bummer that they discontinued it, it was awesome. And it smelled great - beachy without smelling like you fell into a vat of cocoa butter.

    frederic fekkai's summer hair in beach waves works like magic and smells sooo summery/beachy. unfortunately it is very seasonal (back out on april 1st), but his luscious curls spray works much the same way.

    Ocean Waves was the best!! I bought something like six bottles when I found out it was being discontinued and I still have a couple of them. It works so well, smells so good, etc. I have no clue why they discontinued it either. I got the Bumble & Bumble spray but it is just not the same!

    I have tried to get this look - but it just doesn't work too well for me. Maybe I have too thick of hair. Sad

    Ha ha ha if I went to bed with damp hair you don't even want to see what I would wake up with. My hair would completely "set" that way too LOL.

    this has always been one of my fave hairstyles. if you don't want to go to sleep with wet hair, do the 1st step in the morning & blow-dry with a diffuser while you scrunch your hair. always works for me!
