Hair Style Tips For The Beach

Hair Style Tips For The Beach

Here are five ways to style your hair for a day at the beach, bearing in mind protection from the sun whilst still looking your gorgeous self <3

The Versatility of Claw Clips

Claw clips are a must-have beach accessory. They offer a quick and stylish way to put your hair up, keeping it neat and off your face while you enjoy the sun and sea. Try a simple twist-up style by gathering your hair at the nape of your neck, twisting it upwards, and securing it with a stylish claw clip. This look is not only practical but also exudes a carefree elegance.

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to do some styles

Elegance of French/Dutch Braids

These braids are not only practical, keeping your hair tangle-free, but they also add a touch of sophistication to your beach look. Start by creating a central or side parting and braid down each side. For a Dutch braid, simply reverse the technique of a French braid for a standout look. These styles are ideal for those who love to keep their hair neatly styled while lounging or playing on the beach.

For a more boho look, add texture to your braids. Use a crimping iron or braid your hair when damp to create natural waves. Incorporating textured braids into your hairstyle adds depth and interest

Charm of a Messy Bun

A messy bun is a quintessential beach hairstyle. It's easy to create and looks effortlessly chic. Simply gather your hair into a high ponytail, twist it loosely, and secure it into a bun. Let a few strands fall loosely around your face for a relaxed look. This style is perfect for a laid-back day by the sea and pairs wonderfully with SwimSerene’s swimwear, especially when you want a fuss-free yet fashionable hairstyle.

Alternatively, A low side bun is an elegant alternative to the traditional bun. This hairstyle is simple yet sophisticated and can be dressed up with accessories like pearl pins or a fancy clip. It’s perfect for a more upscale beach event or a romantic evening by the sea.

Style with a Messy Ponytail

For a casual and playful look, a messy ponytail is the way to go. It’s a versatile style that works with any hair texture and length. To achieve this look, pull your hair back into a high ponytail and loosen some strands to frame your face. You can also wrap a small section of hair around the elastic for a polished finish. This hairstyle is ideal for those who want to keep their hair out of the way but still look stylish.

For a more polished beach look, opt for a sleek low ponytail. This hairstyle is easy to achieve and exudes sophistication. Simply brush your hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure it with an organic hair tie from Kooshoo. This look is perfect for an elegant beachside dinner or a stroll along the shore.

The Classic Half-Up, Half-Down Look

For those who prefer to leave their hair down, the half-up, half-down style is a perfect choice. It keeps hair off your face while showcasing your locks' natural beauty. This style is especially flattering when combined with soft waves or curls, giving off a relaxed yet refined vibe. 

Combine a braid with loose hair for a unique beach hairstyle. Braid half of your hair and leave the rest flowing. This style offers the best of both worlds – the neatness of a braid and the free-spirited look of loose hair.

Protecting Your Hair

The beach environment, although relaxing, can be harsh on your hair. Before styling, protect your locks with a good conditioner. Opt for natural, sustainable products like Peace With The Wild’s conditioners that shield your hair from the sun, salt, and wind. This step ensures your hair remains healthy and vibrant, no matter how long you spend under the sun.

For extra protection, Add a pop of color and boho flair to your beach look with a hair scarf. You can tie it around your messy bun or ponytail, or even use it as a headband. This accessory not only looks stylish but also helps to keep your hair in place on windy beach days. Check out these trendy hair scarves for inspiration.

Alternatively, a floppy hat isn’t just a stylish accessory; it also protects your hair and face from the sun. Choose a hat that complements your swimwear, and you’re ready for a fashionable and safe day at the beach.
