18. Low Bun
For a more relaxed, chic look, I often go for a low bun. It feels a bit more sophisticated than a high one but still keeps your hair secure. I love pulling a few small strands loose around my face. It gives it a softer, more effortless feel, perfect for a relaxed beach day.
17. Braided Headband
A braided headband is such a sweet way to keep your hair off your face without pulling everything back. It adds a lovely little detail too. I usually braid a section near my hairline on each side and then pin them across the top like a headband. Use small elastic bands to secure the ends before pinning.
16. Fishtail Braid
A fishtail braid looks so intricate, but it’s surprisingly simple once you get the hang of it! It gives a lovely, textured look that’s still casual enough for the beach. It works best on medium to long hair. After I finish braiding, I gently pull on the sides to loosen it a bit for a fuller look.
15. Half-Up Top Knot
Sometimes you want your hair up, but you also want to show off your length! That’s where the half-up top knot comes in. You get some hair secured off your face while the rest flows down. I like using a clear elastic for the knot so it blends right in.
14. Bubble Ponytail
Okay, a bubble ponytail is just plain fun! It’s a unique style that adds a playful touch. It works really well if you have longer hair. You just tie off sections of your ponytail with small elastic bands at even intervals to create the “bubbles.”
13. Scarf Wrapped Bun
Adding a scarf to your bun is a brilliant idea. It not only looks stylish and adds a pop of color, but it also gives your hair a little extra protection from the sun. This works for various hair types. Just make sure you pick a lightweight scarf that won’t feel too heavy.
12. Side Braid
A side braid is a simple way to keep your hair contained while adding a touch of romance. You can do a basic three-strand braid or something more complex. I usually braid mine loosely to keep that relaxed beachy feel. It’s easy and always looks nice.
11. Half-Up Braids
I love doing half-up braids to keep the front sections of my hair out of my face. You just braid a section on each side and pull them back, securing them together. Braiding them a little tighter helps them stay put, especially if it’s windy.
10. Twisted Half-Up
If braiding feels like too much effort, twisting sections back is a super quick alternative. Just take sections from the front, twist them, and pin them at the back of your head. It’s a really easy way to get a similar effect to half-up braids in a flash.
