11 Amazing No-Heat Beachy Hair Tutorials

It's my first year post-college, so I'm seriously mourning the spring break that was part of my life for the last 12 years. From a stereotypical beach week in Gulf Shores, Alabama to a week-long tour of Budapest and Prague during my semester abroad, I've always loved planning a big trip with friends for sometime in March. This year, I'm heading to the warm beaches of Barcelona for a family trip, and I had to find some beachy no-heat hair tutorials that were perfect before my vacation.

Considering I'm traveling to Europe, the last thing I want to do is haul my blowdryer, curling irons, and straightener (along with adaptors) with me just so I can style my hair. And, because Barcelona is a beach town, I plan to use air drying and sea salt spray to my hair to get perfect beachy waves. However, I know I'll get bored with just one hairstyle, so I needed at least a few to choose from. From beachy waves to fun braids, there are so many fun no-heat hairstyles beyond basic air-dried waves. And the added bonus? Air drying your hair is one of the best ways to prevent damage, split ends and breakage.

Check out these 11 no-heat hair tutorials that are perfect for spring break, no matter where you're going.
