Beach waves are a particularly popular hairstyle trend – after all, these loose waves not only exude pure summer vibes, but are also wonderfully timeless. After all, they suit everyone and look effortlessly pretty and carefree with any hair length.
The casual, imperfect waves are reminiscent of a day at the seaside—with sun on your skin, salt in the air, and the feeling of freedom in your hair. Whether for a beach vacation, a festival weekend, or everyday wear in the city: Beach waves are the perfect hairstyle for summer.
What are Beach Waves Actually?
Beach waves are loose, soft waves that look as if they were naturally created while swimming in the ocean. The hairstyle appears slightly messy, deliberately less structured – that's precisely what makes it so charming. No two strands look the same – that's what makes the undone look so modern and effortless.
The Best Styling Tools for Beach Waves
Depending on your hair structure and the method you choose, you can use the following products:
- Mousse for more hold
- Styling cream for smoothness
- Salt water spray for texture and the typical “sea salt look”
- Heat protection spray if you use a curling iron or straightener
- Anti-frizz spray for frizzy hair
- Hairspray for fixing
- Dry shampoo for root volume

4 Easy Methods for Natural Beach Waves
Saltwater Waves – Air-dried & natural
Ideal for: natural waves, frizzy hair, all hair lengths
Here's how:
- Apply anti-frizz spray to damp hair
- Then work in styling cream or salt water spray
- Let hair air dry (do not blow dry!)
- Then massage some dry shampoo into the roots
Tip: Loosen the waves with your fingers – this creates volume and more texture.
Bun waves – For medium-length hair
Ideal for: uncomplicated waves with an “undone” character
How it works:
- Apply mousse to towel-dried hair
- Twist individual strands into small buns – sometimes towards the face, sometimes away from it
- Allow to air dry or leave overnight
- Carefully open the buns, go through them with your fingers or shake them out gently
- Fix with hairspray, optionally shine or salt spray for the finish
Beach waves with braided braids
Ideal for: longer hair, more defined waves
Directions:
- Apply mousse to towel-dried hair and comb thoroughly
- Section and braid your hair (the more braids, the more defined the waves)
- Leave on overnight or for several hours
- Open braids, loosen with your fingers
- Fix with hairspray
Tip: For the “sea look” simply use salt water spray as a finish.
Overnight curls with a hairband
Ideal for: soft waves without heat
Here's how:
- Apply mousse to towel-dried hair and comb thoroughly
- Part your hair in the middle, place a hairband on your head and secure it
- Wrap strands one after the other around the band until all are twisted

Pro tip: Not perfect = perfect!
If your waves look a little tighter or too neat at first, don't worry. Simply run your fingers through them and shake them out gently. Over time, the curls will fall out naturally, creating exactly the look you want: casual, summery, and beachy.
Beach Waves are More Than Just a Trend
Whether with heat, overnight, or completely natural – beach waves are versatile, uncomplicated, and ideal for warm days. They suit every occasion, every hair type, and instantly make you look fresher and more summery. With the right products and a little practice, you can achieve the look even without a visit to the salon.
