There are a few places in this world where someone can truly be relaxed and at peace. It’s different for everyone, of course, but for many, the beach is one of these special destinations. Maybe it’s the way the breeze is the perfect temp to cool you off from the hot summer sun, or how the soft sand squishing between your toes puts your mind at ease. Or best of all, maybe it's the feeling of swimming in the tranquil ocean waves with salty hair that brings up nostalgic feels from your childhood summer vacations. When you're that relaxed, it needs to be remembered forever, so snap some pictures and post with Instagram captions for beach waves.

Seriously, there’s something so magical about the ocean’s salt water that gives your hair incredible waves. You’ve tried to emulate it with some sea salt sprays, but nothing compares to those natural beachy waves you get from one trip to the shore. That’s why you need to capture the #hairgoals with as many salty hair selfies as you can.

By posting a selfie or plandid pic of you splashing around in the tide with a waves caption, you’ll show all of your loving followers how chilled out and fabulous you look when you’re in vacay mode. When the time comes to post your pics, don’t stress either. Just use any of these ocean waves quotes that are ready to go and match your carefree locks perfectly.
