Cute Hairstyles To Wear To The Beach
As a hairstylist with years of experience, I have seen countless clients struggle with finding the perfect hairstyle for a day at the beach. The combination of heat, humidity, and water can make it challenging to maintain a cute and stylish look. But fear not! I am here to share with you some of my favorite cute hairstyles to wear to the beach in 2023 that will keep you looking effortlessly chic all day long.
1. The Beachy Waves
Nothing screams beach vibes more than those effortless, tousled waves. To achieve this look, start by applying a texturizing spray or mousse to damp hair. Then, use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer to dry your hair while scrunching it with your hands. Once your hair is completely dry, use a curling wand or a flat iron to create loose waves. Finish off with a spritz of salt spray for that perfect beachy texture.
Tips:
- For a more natural look, alternate the direction of the waves as you curl your hair.
- Avoid using too much product, as it can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy.
- If you don’t have a diffuser attachment, you can air dry your hair and use a sea salt spray to enhance the texture.
2. The Braided Crown
This hairstyle not only keeps your hair off your face but also adds an elegant touch to your beach look. Start by parting your hair down the middle and separating it into two sections. Take a small section of hair from one side and begin braiding it towards the back of your head. Secure the braid with a bobby pin, and repeat the same process on the other side. Once both braids are in place, gently pull them apart to create a fuller and more voluminous look.
Tips:
- If you have shorter hair, you can create mini braids and pin them around your head to achieve a similar effect.
- Add some flowers or decorative pins to the braids for a boho-inspired look.
- For extra hold, apply a small amount of hairspray to the braids before securing them with bobby pins.
3. The Messy Bun
When in doubt, go for the classic messy bun. This hairstyle is not only easy to do but also keeps your hair off your neck and face, making it perfect for those scorching beach days. To achieve the perfect messy bun, start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail. Twist the ponytail around its base and secure it with bobby pins. Pull out a few strands of hair around your face to create a relaxed and effortless look.
Tips:
- If your hair is too slippery to hold a bun, spray some dry shampoo or texturizing spray to add grip.
- For a more polished look, wrap a small section of hair around the base of the bun to hide the bobby pins.
- Add a cute scrunchie or a colorful hair tie to give your messy bun a fun and playful twist.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I protect my hair from the sun and saltwater?
A: To protect your hair from the harmful effects of the sun and saltwater, apply a leave-in conditioner or a hair oil with SPF before heading to the beach. This will help moisturize your hair and create a protective barrier. Additionally, wearing a wide-brimmed hat or a scarf can provide extra sun protection for your hair and scalp.
Q: Can I wear these hairstyles with any hair length or texture?
A: Absolutely! These cute hairstyles can be customized to suit any hair length or texture. For shorter hair, you can opt for mini braids or embrace your natural texture with some texturizing spray. If you have long hair, the beachy waves and messy bun are perfect options to keep your hair looking fabulous.
Q: How do I maintain these hairstyles throughout the day?
A: To maintain these hairstyles throughout the day, carry some bobby pins and a travel-sized hairspray in your beach bag. If your waves start to lose their shape, you can quickly touch them up with a curling wand or a flat iron. For the braided crown and messy bun, simply secure any loose strands with bobby pins and mist some hairspray to keep everything in place.
With these cute hairstyles to wear to the beach, you’ll never have to sacrifice style for comfort.
