frequently asked questions
I get asked a lot about keeping hair happy and looking good at the beach. The sun, salt, and humidity can be tough! Here are some common questions I hear and my best tips.
How do I protect my hair from sun and salt water at the beach?
Think of your hair like your skin – it needs protection too! I always recommend using hair products with SPF before you head out. Wearing a cute wide-brimmed hat is also a fantastic idea; it shields your scalp and strands. If you’re swimming, rinsing your hair with fresh water right after getting out of the ocean helps wash away some of that drying salt.
What are the best products for achieving beachy waves?
For those perfect, tousled beachy waves, sea salt spray is your best friend. Just spritz it on damp or dry hair and scrunch! Texturizing sprays also work wonders to add grip and volume. And I never go to the beach without a good leave-in conditioner; it helps keep your hair soft and hydrated against the elements.
How can I make my beach hairstyle last all day?
Choosing the right style is key. Braids and buns tend to hold up better than having your hair completely down. For updos, make sure you use enough bobby pins and secure them well. A strong-hold hairspray can help lock everything in place, especially if humidity is an issue. Embrace the natural texture the beach air gives you!
