2. High Ponytail Wrapped with a Scarf
This adds so much personality to a high ponytail. Secure a high ponytail with an elastic. Take a long scarf and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, then continue wrapping it down the length of the ponytail.
You can leave the ends of the scarf loose or tie them at the bottom. It’s a great way to protect your ponytail from the wind too.
1. Accessorized Beach Waves
My absolute favorite for versatility! Start with beautiful beach waves. Now, let’s accessorize! This is where you can really play.
I love scattering small clips throughout my waves. Sometimes I’ll use a thin scarf tied around a few sections. One time, I used a mix of tiny seashell pins and pearl clips, and it looked so pretty. You can put clips near your temples, behind your ears, or even woven into a small braid within the waves. It’s all about adding those little touches that make the look uniquely yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
I get a lot of questions about managing hair at the beach. It makes sense! The elements can be tough on our tresses. Here are some common questions I hear and my best tips for keeping your beach looks on point.
How do I keep my hairstyle in place on a windy beach?
Wind is definitely the nemesis of beach hair! Strong elastics are your friend, especially for ponytails and buns. Bobby pins are also key for pinning down loose sections. Braids, like French or fishtail braids, tend to hold up better than loose styles. Don’t be afraid to use a little hairspray too, focusing on the areas around your face.
What kind of accessories are best for fine hair at the beach?
For fine hair, you want lightweight accessories that won’t slip out. Small, thin clips or pins work well. Fabric headbands are also great because they grip the hair gently. Avoid heavy barrettes or anything too bulky. Silk scarves can also be tied loosely without weighing hair down.
How can I protect my hair from sun and salt water?
Sun and salt can dry out hair. Wearing a hat, especially a wide-brimmed one, is the easiest way to protect your strands. You can also use hair products with SPF. Rinsing your hair with fresh water after swimming helps remove salt and chlorine. Consider applying a leave-in conditioner before you hit the water too.
