When it comes to effortless, beachy, out-of-office glam, two textures always steal the spotlight: Pineapple Wave and Loose Wave. These patterns have become must-haves for vacation hair because they’re easy to maintain, beautifully textured, and stay flawless no matter the weather.

If you’re planning a trip, prepping for summer, or just want that soft, carefree vibe, here’s why these two textures are fan favourites — and which one might be right for you.

✨ What Makes “Vacation Hair” Different?

Vacation hair needs to be:

• Low maintenance

• Humidity-friendly

• Quick to style

• Long-lasting throughout the trip

Pineapple Wave and Loose Wave deliver all of that and more.

 Pineapple Wave: Soft, Tropical, Effortlessly Textured

Pineapple Wave is known for its tropical, fluffy curl pattern — a mix between loose curls and beach waves.

Why It’s a Vacation Favourite

✔ Gorgeous “just got out the water” texture
✔ Effortless blending with leave-out or closures
✔ Low maintenance — a quick spritz of water or leave-in revives the curls
✔ Perfect for humid climates
✔ Big, bouncy curls that still look soft

Pineapple Wave gives you that carefree, sun kissed vibe without needing to style your hair every morning.

Best For:

• Beach trips

• Pool days

• Soft, curly looks

• Natural-looking waves with volume

 Loose Wave: Romantic, Bouncy & Totally Versatile

Loose Wave bundles offer a soft, defined S-curl pattern. Think of it as the perfect mix of body wave and curl.

Why It’s a Vacation Favourite

✔ Holds curls beautifully — even in humidity
✔ Can be straightened or curled tighter
✔ Naturally voluminous without being too big
✔ Great for glam vacation looks
✔ Low frizz when cared for properly

Loose Wave gives you that vacation-glam, effortless curl without needing constant refreshing.

Best For:

• Girls who want waves but not full curls
  

• Travel photoshoots

• Versatile styling on vacation

✨ Vacation Care Tips for Both Textures

To keep your waves popping all trip long:

• Use a light leave-in conditioner

• Avoid heavy oils that weigh curls down

• Sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf

• Apply curl mousse to reduce frizz in humidity

• Detangle gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb

With the right care, either texture will look amazing the entire vacation.

Final Thoughts

Whether you choose the big, bouncy curl pattern of Pineapple Wave or the soft, glamorous movement of Loose Wave, both textures deliver that carefree, picture-perfect vacation vibe. They’re easy to maintain, gorgeous in humidity, and stay flawless from brunch to the beach.
