How to Get Sexy Beach Hair

By Tara Thompson Rasmus

It’s officially summer, which means that along with ditching my wine lipsticks and heavy foundation, I’ve officially waved goodbye to my blowdryer for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, however, my hair doesn’t necessarily behave when I let it air-dry; without a little product, my locks somehow end up looking both flat and frizzy. How is that fair?

To counteract both of these complimentary problems, I turn towards texturizers. These lightweight products add just enough weight and structure so that my fine, wavy hair can become the best version of itself, sans heat styling. There’s nothing better than stepping out of the shower, spritzing on some salt spray, and running out the door, is there? Thanks to these pretty potions, that will be my exact hair styling routine for the next two months. Long live summer!
