How To: Beachy Waves

So my hair doesn't hold scrunching well at all! But I tried this method and it totally worked for me!
What you need: 2 Hair ties, Scrunching spray/gel or sea salt (I used Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves) a towel or cotton tee (I used a towel because they make your hair frizzy. My hair is super sleek so I wanted to rough it up a bit. If you don't want frizz or want to minimize it, then use a cotton t-shirt). Hair spray (optional. I didn't use any but a great one is Tresemme Tres Spray super hold)


  1. Make sure your hair is damp and not soaking wet! After about half an hour to an hour after I take a shower I do this. If you have hard to curl hair then I wouldn't suggest brushing your hair
  2. Spray scrunching spray all throughout your hair and scrunch with towel/tee.
  3. Scrunch hair up into two bunches on each side of your head. Yes, you will look funny!
  4. Let dry! For me it usually takes about half an hour. If you're in a rush, you can blow dry your hair in these bunches. You can also sleep with these in.
  5. Let your hair down! Style as needed I wouldn't recomend brushing it out!
The end result!
