Prep Your Hair: Start with Clean, Damp Strands

The foundation of any great beach wave look is clean, well-conditioned hair. Begin by washing with the Guava Shampoo to remove buildup without stripping natural oils. Follow with the Guava Conditioner to add moisture and detangle. Together, they create the perfect base for waves that are soft and bouncy, not weighed down.

After rinsing, gently squeeze excess water from your hair using a microfiber Hair Towel. This towel is designed to reduce frizz and speed up drying time, making it an essential step for wavy hair. Avoid rubbing—blot and press instead to keep your cuticles smooth. Your hair should be damp but not dripping before you move on to styling.

• Use lukewarm water to avoid stripping natural oils.
• Detangle with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers while conditioner is still in.

Apply the Guava Leave-In Conditioner for Definition

Once your hair is damp, it’s time to apply the Guava Leave-In Conditioner. This lightweight formula adds moisture and helps define your natural wave pattern without heaviness. Dispense a small amount into your palms, rub them together, and scrunch the product into your hair from mid-lengths to ends. Focus on the areas where you want the most wave definition.

For fine or thin hair, use a pea-sized amount to avoid greasiness. For thicker hair, you can apply a bit more. The key is even distribution—use your fingers to gently rake through sections, then scrunch upward to encourage curl formation. This step sets the stage for waves that hold their shape without becoming stiff.

• Work in sections for more even coverage.
• Flip your head upside down while scrunching for added volume at the roots.

Enhance Waves with the Pequi Flyaway Gel

For extra hold and frizz control, follow up with the Pequi Flyaway Gel. This gel provides a flexible, medium hold that locks in your wave pattern without crunch. Apply a small amount by gliding it over your palms and then gently scrunching into your hair, focusing on the ends and any areas prone to frizz.

The Pequi Flyaway Gel is especially helpful on humid days or for hair that tends to lose its shape quickly. It creates a light cast that dries down naturally—once your hair is fully dry, you can gently scrunch again to break the cast and reveal soft, touchable waves. For best results, apply the gel right after the leave-in conditioner while your hair is still damp.

• Less is more—start with a dime-sized amount and add more if needed.
• Avoid applying gel directly to your roots to prevent a weighed-down look.

Air-Dry or Diffuse for the Perfect Finish

Now comes the easiest part: letting your hair dry. For the most natural, effortless beach waves, air-drying is ideal. Simply let your hair fall loose and avoid touching it while it dries. Every 10–15 minutes, you can gently scrunch your hair upward to encourage more wave formation as it dries.

If you’re short on time, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. Set it to low heat and low speed, and hover the diffuser around your head without disturbing the wave pattern too much. Once your hair is about 80% dry, let the rest air-dry to preserve the natural texture. Either method will give you that sun-kissed, beachy look.

• Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz and preserve waves overnight.
• If your waves fall flat, spritz a little water and scrunch to revive them.

Accessorize with the Guava Keychain Comb and Mini Brush de Pelo

Once your waves are set, you can add a playful touch with accessories. The Guava Keychain Comb is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups—just tuck it in your bag for quick detangling without ruining your wave pattern. Its compact size makes it ideal for refreshing your look throughout the day.

For a sleeker finish on certain sections, the Mini Brush de Pelo can help smooth flyaways or shape your part without pulling out your waves. Use it sparingly on the top layer to tame any frizz while keeping the rest of your hair wavy and voluminous. These small tools make a big difference in maintaining your style from morning to night.

• Use the comb to gently separate waves for a more undone look.
• The brush works well for creating a polished crown section while leaving ends wavy.

Creating beautiful beach waves at home is simpler than you think, especially with the Guava Beach Waves Collection. By starting with clean, damp hair, layering the right products, and using gentle drying techniques, you can achieve that effortless, sun-kissed texture without heat damage or harsh chemicals. For the complete routine, explore the Guava Leave-In Conditioner and add it to your wash day lineup—your waves will thank you.
