One of my absolute favorite hairstyles for summer is the "beachy wave" Its based on loose and imperfect curls, and if your already have wavy hair, can take less than 15 minutes. It's also great for people who live in areas with high humidity, because you don't have to attempt to tame your hair that you straightened less than 30 minutes ago.
Start with slightly damp hair, either by letting it dry about 80% of the way after getting out of the shower or using a spray bottle to wet it evenly. Apply sea salt spray or curl enhancing mousse to your hair. You can make your own sea salt spray if you don't already own any by mixing 1 cup warm water, 1 Tablespoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon gel and putting it in a spray bottle. I prefer making it myself because not only is it cheaper, sea salt spray from the store has an odd odor that stays in your hair all day that spray that you make at your house doesn't have. If you have naturally straight hair, twist small sections of your hair into mini-buns all over your head, secure them with bobby pins, and let dry completely. If your hair already has a wave to it, dry it the rest of the way using a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment. Using a 3/4 inch or 1 inch curler, wrap 1 inch sections of your hair around the curler (without using the clamp) to touch up strands of your hair that didn't wave. Rake your fingers through your hair to separate your curls and finish with a light touch of hair spray.
