How to Get Effortless Beachy Waves Using Texture Spray

Beachy waves are the ultimate low-maintenance, high-impact hairstyle; tousled, voluminous, and perfectly undone. The good news? You don’t need to spend a day at the beach to get the look. All you need is a good texture spray and the right technique.

At Hair Gang, we’ve got a curated range of salon-quality texture sprays that give you that breezy, coastal vibe in just a few spritzes, no crunchy stiffness or dryness.

What Is Texture Spray, and Why Use It?

Texture sprays (also known as sea salt sprays or dry texturisers) are designed to enhance your hair’s natural body and movement. 

Whether your hair is naturally straight, wavy, or curled with a wand, a texture spray can instantly elevate the finish.

Step-by-Step: Beachy Waves with Texture Spray

1. Start with Dry or Damp Hair

You can use texture spray on air-dried hair, freshly blow-dried strands, or second-day waves.

2. Add Some Curl

Use a flat iron or curling wand to loosely wave your hair. Alternate the direction of the curls for a more undone look. Leave the ends out for a beachier finish.

3. Spray, Scrunch, and Separate

Spritz texture spray evenly throughout the mid-lengths and ends. Flip your head upside down and give your hair a shake or light scrunch to activate the texture.
