3. Dutch Braid Ponytail
A Dutch braid ponytail lifts the braid off the head. Start a Dutch braid at your crown. Braid down a few inches. Gather all hair into a ponytail. Secure with an elastic. This style is functional and stylish. Pulling the edges of the braid makes it look fuller.
2. High Bun
You can’t go wrong with a high bun. Gather all your hair high on your head. Twist it into a tight bun. This keeps hair completely off your neck and face. It’s practical and clean for water activities. Using a bun maker helps create a perfect shape and adds security.
1. French Braid Bun
This is my top pick for ultimate security. Start a French braid at the nape of your neck. Braid upwards towards the crown of your head. Gather the remaining hair and the end of the braid. Twist it into a bun right on top. This braid holds hair tight to your scalp. It’s a stylish updo with maximum hold. Use multiple bobby pins to secure the bun well.
Frequently Asked Questions
I know you might have a few questions about keeping your hair happy at the waterpark. Here are some common ones I hear and my best advice to help you out.
What is the best hairstyle for thick hair at a waterpark?
If you have thick hair, you need a style that can handle the volume and stay put. I always recommend options like boxer braids or a high bun. These styles really contain the hair well. They keep it from getting tangled and are less likely to come undone with lots of movement.
How can I protect my hair from chlorine at a waterpark?
Chlorine can be harsh on hair. A great tip is to wet your hair with fresh water before you get in the pool. Your hair will soak up the fresh water instead of the chlorinated water. Applying a leave-in conditioner before swimming also creates a barrier. Rinse your hair again with fresh water after swimming too.
Will these hairstyles dry quickly?
Honestly, tightly braided or bunned styles will take longer to dry than if your hair was down. The point of these splash-proof waterpark hairstyles is staying secure. So, quick drying isn’t the main goal here. Focus on the style staying in place so you can enjoy your day without fussing over your hair getting messy.
Conclusion
Having the right hairstyle makes all the difference for a fun waterpark day. Choosing a secure style means you can truly relax and enjoy every slide and splash. Don’t let hair worries hold you back! Try one of these splash-proof waterpark hairstyles and see how much easier your day becomes.
My hope is that these options give you the confidence to dive in headfirst. I love helping women feel their best, and that includes feeling great about your hair even when it’s getting wet. Pick your favorite style, secure it well, and have an absolutely amazing time!
