If you’ve been visiting the same hair stylist for years, you’ve probably developed a close relationship. He or she knows your hair, your preferences for color, and whether you prefer a high- or low-maintenance style.
No matter what your hair personality is, when you go to the beach, you don’t want to think about your hair. If you have long or medium-length hair, you might have it easiest. You can throw your hair in a bun (have you heard that scrunchies are back?). But please don’t resort to the sock bun, because it’s SO last year… just ask your hair stylist.
You could also leave it down and rock those beautiful beach waves that we see in the fashion magazines. There are great products out there to replicate the look you’ll get naturally from swimming in the surf. Sprays and creams that mimic saltwater effects are abundant. Or, if you like to swim in the saltwater, use it to your advantage, just swim and go. Try a styling gel to hold those curls and maintain the frizz that the humidity might cause.
If you have random spots of unruly hair, try the random braid look. When you find these trouble spots after a long day on the beach, and you wish your hair stylist was there to help, sometimes a few simple little braids will do the trick for a cute and easy hairstyle.
If your hair is short, it doesn’t mean you can’t rock the beach waves. Try a texture cream to rub through your tresses after a totally tubular surf session with that hottie coach.
No matter your hair length, color, or style, everyone can be a relaxed and happy beach beauty with just a little planning and a few great products.
