HOW TO GET YOUR BEST BEACH HAIR AT HOME

"I WENT FOR A DIP IN THE OCEAN & LOVED HOW MY HAIR LOOKED. HOW DO I GET IT AT HOME?"
One of our hottest questions in summer is how to recreate sea-kissed waves without having to dip your hair in the ocean. The high salt content of the sea makes your hair strands swell, causing roughness, texture and definition; however, salt water draws out water from the hair fibre, to leave your hair dehydrated, weakened and prone to breakage. Furthermore, for anyone with dyed or highlighted hair, salt water can pull the colour out to leave your strands lacklustre. In other words, healthy hair and the ocean don't go hand in hand.
However, we bet that you are still thinking of that beachy, sea-kissed definition from your last holiday. So, if you want textured tresses without the damage, here are our top tips, whatever your hair type.
SWITCH THE SEA FOR SUNDAZE
On a Vogue x Kate Moss cover shoot in St Barts, Sam's hair kit was lost in transit. Thinking fast, he bought a water spray bottle and filled it with seawater and a little suntan oil. Spritzing the 'bespoke' spray onto Kate's hair and letting the concoction dry naturally resulted in piecey, defined beach waves, and an iconic cover.
This handmade ocean water spray and Kate’s Vogue cover look inspired Sundaze Sea Spray, which creates instant luxe, undone sea-kissed texture that will take you from the beach to the bar and beyond. Even better, our buildable formula is enriched with Pro-Vitamin B5, Hibiscus Flower Extract and Castor Oil, to leaves hair with a weightless, protective finish.
ENHANCE YOUR NATURAL WAVES AND CURLS
For hair that is naturally curly or wavy, Sundaze will add definition and texture to your strands, for the perfect beach-to-bar summer style. Simply mist Sundaze through damp or dry hair, and scrunch lightly before leaving to air-dry.
HOW TO CREATE WAVES FROM STRAIGHT HAIR
For straighter lengths, the best way to recreate beach texture is by using heat-free styling to ensure your waves hold. To do this, first part your hair in two and smooth in Happy Endings for extra nourishment and manageability. Braid the two halves, or for shorter lengths, twist into topknots. Leave the style in for the day or overnight, before unravelling and add a mist of Sundaze, lightly scrunching for that piecey definition.
