10 Best Beach Wave Hairstyles for Summer 2024

The sun is in the sky, salt is in the air, and beach waves are in style for summer. Beach waves are a classic, low-maintenance hairstyle that is almost universally flattering for a wide range of face shapes and hair colors, types, and lengths. The timeless beach waves style has been a top trend in the world of women’s hair and fashion for the past several years. It’s popular year-round but gains more popularity around summertime when more women feel inspired to rock a beachy hair look.

If you have naturally wavy or curly hair, you might only need a few spritzes of a sea salt texturizing spray to achieve beach waves. You can scrunch your waves with sea salt spray to enhance them. If your hair is naturally straight, flat, or lacking volume, your tresses might need a little help from a heated styling tool. Either way, beach waves are an easy DIY hairstyle that is ultra-flattering for almost any woman. These wavy hairstyles will bring the perfect cheerful, summery vibe to your look. Plus, styling these ultra-low-maintenance hairstyles will save you a ton of time and energy in your morning routine.
