Adored by red carpet stars and everyday beauty lovers alike, beach waves have made it to the top of our hairstyles list for many years now. Even though they are the perfect cool and breezy hairstyles for summer, achieving them could seem a little daunting.

But what if we tell you that all you need is less than 10 minutes to get the ideal beach wave hair? Here are a few ways that will make this dream come true!

1 – To save time, put your long hair into a ponytail and curl the latter only. Before you start curling it, make sure to prep it with a primer in order to protect it from heat and use a medium-hold spray as a final touch.

2 – If low-maintenance hair is your thing, we are very glad to tell you that beach hair can be achieved with a few strategically-placed buns. Divide your hair into 3 parts, one in the front and 2 in the back. Brush each of the 2 hair parts and neatly put them into low buns held with 2 or 3 bobby pins, while the front part should only be brushed and twisted together. Wait for a few hours until your hair dries and then gently run your fingers through it.

3 – If you are a frequent flat iron user, here’s yet another reason to love it! Apply some sea salt spray to your hair and divide your hair into 2 parts. Twist each part and carefully flat iron it to get a beach style in no time.

4 – If you have short hair, the easiest way to go is to brush your hair and curl your upper layers in vertical hair strands to save time. Since short hair includes shorter under layers, curl the latter towards your face so they don’t flip outwards. Apply some sea salt spray and there you are with the cutest and coolest hairstyle ever!
