We’re totally ready for beach trips, but what are we going to do with our hair in the hot, humid weather at the beach? We’ve found 15 styles that are perfect for a day in the sand, whether your hair is short, long or somewhere in between.
The last place we want to be? Stuck in front of a mirror trying to make our hair behave, which is why we’ve rounded up the easiest, beach-worthy ‘dos to keep you cool and looking just as stylish as that new romper you’ll be sporting.
1. Double Dutch Braid Bun
Why have one bun, when you can have two? This “aha” style proves you don’t have to be complicated to think outside the box. It’s a great look for the beach, and because it’s messy, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it perfectly right.
2. Twisted Side Pony
For a little something extra (especially with post destination wedding hair), this is a great way to amp up the classic ponytail.3. Side Swept Braid
This side-swept braid within a braid is ultra-feminine and perfect for a hot day at the beach.
4. Beachy Braid
Whether you prefer them styled tight or loose, braids are the perfect look for the beach. Not only do braids keep wet hair out of your face during the day, but they’re also fun to wear for a night out.
5. Quad Braid
Great for adding volume to shorter hair, simply section your hair into four French braids, then gather together in one large pony.
6. Style with Scarf
For the perfect pop of color and some Cinderella chic, styled with a summer scarf. Protect your strands from harsh UV rays by wrapping it up in a light scarf. Not only is it beneficial for maintaining your expensive dye job, but it also looks good.
7. Low Braided Bun
A side braid that wraps around a low bun with an unfinished end is part messy, part styled, all parts awesome. Flowers optional, but suggested.
