    1. Take the beach with you everywhere in the form of a bottle of Not Your Mother's Beach Babe sea spray.

    target.com / amazon.com

    If you're looking to control your fly-aways and get some beachy waves at the same time, look no further than a solid sea salt spray. While not ideal for everyday use (the salt dries out hair), it's a great solution for days when your hair simply won't cooperate. Not Your Mother's Beach Babe is a popular choice thanks to its reliable results.

    Promising review: "This product isn't just for people with long hair who want beachy waves. I have short hair and I use it to get texture and volume. It's great. It lasts a long time (that could also be because I have short hair), it smells great, and it doesn't leave a gross residue in your hair like other ones I've tried, where if you run your fingers through your hair, you have a gross feeling on your fingers. It's a great price, and I think a great product!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Target for $3.76 or on Amazon in banana scent for $3.87.

    2. Rub your 'do down with some hair sheets that will calm down frizz.
