9. Half-Up Ponytail
Similar to the half-up bun, the half-up ponytail is a classic for a reason. Just gather the top section of your hair and secure it with a strong hair tie. It’s simple, effective, and keeps hair out of your eyes. This is a timeless and easy option for a waterpark day.
8. Braided Headband
A braided headband is a beautiful way to keep front layers out of your face. Take a section of hair from one side near your temple and braid it. Bring the braid across your forehead like a headband and pin it behind your other ear. It gives a lovely bohemian look and is very practical.
7. Scarf Headband
Using a scarf as a headband is both fashionable and functional. Fold a scarf into a band and tie it around your head. You can leave your hair down or tie it back. It adds a pop of color and style while keeping your hair off your face. Make sure to tie it securely so it stays put!

5. Twisted Pigtails
For a quicker version of braided pigtails, try twisted pigtails. Part your hair down the middle. Take two sections on one side and twist them together down the length. Secure with an elastic band. Repeat on the other side. They’re easy to create and a fun alternative.

2. Messy Bun
The messy bun is all about embracing that relaxed, effortless vibe. Gather your hair loosely and twist it into a bun, letting strands fall naturally. Secure it with a hair tie and add bobby pins to hold any loose pieces. It’s quick, easy, and looks great even when it’s a little damp.
1. French Braid Ponytail
This is my top pick for waterpark hair! Start a French braid at the crown of your head and braid down until you reach the nape of your neck. Then, gather all the remaining hair into a ponytail and secure it with a strong hair tie. This style keeps the hair around your face super secure while still being easy to manage in a ponytail. Braid tightly at the top for the best hold.
