If you live anywhere in the Northern hemisphere where it’s not sunshine and butterflies all year round, you are probably happy to finally bust out those dusty sundresses, shorts and skirts. With Summer right around the corner it’s time to rock fun carefree styles, including trendy beachy waves, that we’ve been seeing everywhere from the runways to fashion blogs.
Today I wanted to show you how I create perfect beachy waves on my fine hair using new John Frieda® Beach Blonde™ products. If you have the same hair type, you know that it can be incredibly hard to style it, and sometimes all it wants is to lay flat. Lucky for us, this particular style is ideal to give our fine locks the texture and the volume that we normally lack! Without further ado, here’s the tutorial.
1. Shampoo & condition your hair as usual. I used John Frieda® Beach Blonde™ Cool Dip™ Shampoo and Beach Blonde™ Smooth Seas™ Conditioner to cleanse my hair and scalp of any oils and product residue, and to prep it for styling. They both have this cooling minty fragrance that makes taking a shower extra refreshing, especially in the Summer.
2. Let your hair dry. This is more of a “messy” style, so it doesn’t really matter whether you blow-dry or air-dry your hair. Since air-drying is a healthier option, that’s what I usually do.
3. Detangle and brush your hair, because we’re about to give it some heat!
4. Using a curling wand, quickly curl 1″ sections of your hair. Don’t hold too long, because we want a loose beachy wave, not tight princessy coils this time. For example, I hold my fine hair for about 7 seconds before releasing.
5. After you’re finished curling all of your hair, comb through again and start spraying with a texturizer. I used Beach Blonde™ Sea Waves™ Sea Salt Spray starting from my ends and added some to the roots as well. Don’t forget to gently scrunch your waves while the texturizer is still wet, that’ll help it hold the shape better! Tip: I also flipped by hair back and generously sprayed at the nape of neck for additional volume.
And that’s it! This is a super easy way to achieve perfect beachy waves, and it makes your hair smell nice, too! If you’re into sweet and summery coconutey scents, you’re going to really enjoy this one.
By the way, John Frieda® Beach Blonde™ series is not just for blondes, because it doesn’t contain hair lightening/brightening agents. So regardless of your hair type or color, don’t shy away from this line – it’s designed for creating effortless beachy styles in a snap. I’m a redhead and I love it!
John Frieda® Beach Blonde™ products are already available in stores nationwide, I found them at Walmart in the “Conditioner” aisle of the Beauty area. Make sure to look down when shopping, as mine were placed on one of the bottom shelves.

Haha, I love your TA-DA pic! John Frieda stuff is awesome – I used to use their products way back when. I love sea salt sprays too – they usually smell amazing!
Haha, thanks! 🙂 This one smells like coconuts, and the shampoo + conditioner both smell like mojito.
Your hair looks great. I also love your makeup, especially the lip color.
Thank you! Due to photo filters the lip color appears pinker than it is, but it’s actually NYC 450 Pure Coral.
Gorgeous look, Anastasia! Love those tutorial pix
Haha, thanks Allison!! It took me forever to pick selfies for it, because I’m overly self-critical 🙂
So simple and pretty! Love it!
Thank you, Leelo! <3
Thanks for sharing this. I would have passed it by thinking it was just for blondes.
So would I, to be honest, glad I read the label and PR documentation first 🙂
Your hair is so gorgeous!
Thank you! <3 <3
I like the John Frieda beach waves I have tried it a few times, I think they changed the formula because it works a lot better now than I remember hehe
Good to know they’ve improved! I haven’t tried the original release, but I do like this one.
I need to check this out. I usually have great luck with the John Frieda lines, Your hair looks gorgeous!
Thank you Amber! <3 I think it's a great choice for those of us with fine hair, and it doesn't make it feel crunchy.
Your hair looks amazing, perfect summer style.
I agree, this style is great for Summer, and doesn’t matter if the wind messes it up a bit. And thank you! <3 XX
Love that effortless style!
I initially wasn’t a fan of beachy waves, but that style grew on me lately, probably because it helps add some volume to my fine hair.
I love that you just used a brush and these products, no heat. Your hair looks beautiful.
Thank you!
Nice!! My hair would never ever do anything like that haha That’s part of the reason I keep it short 🙂
Girl, I totally understand, mine might look all fab and nice in pictures, but it’s unruly and frizzy and refuses to hold hair styles, that’s why I’m hunting down products that actually work 🙂
Beach waves on me are a bit tricky! I kinda hate you a little for having such gorgeous hair that can either be straight or wavy! just kidding!
Haha, girl, trust me, it takes a lot of effort to get it to hold any style, usually it’s just straight and frizzy… Oh, and super fine, too!
I love relaxed beach waves! of course you look stunning as always
It’s not a style I wear often, but I might after this. And thank you! <3 <3
Gorgeous, tousled hair! Love this!
Thank you, Brooke! <3
Girl… you are all kind of gorgeous. Beachy waves are not too easy for me unless my curls are pulled out, then I can rock it but you look fab.
Ahh, you are so sweet Honey! You have natural beachy waves that I can only dream of 😉
I love how you created your waves. They look great, and the added texture from the spray really makes a difference I can see. Gorgeous! #client
Thank you Michelle! I liked that the sea salt spray added texture without drying out my hair.
Your hair looks AMAZING!
Thank you! <3 <3
You look fantastic- I’m loving it!
Yay, thanks Stephanie!!
