13. Two French Braids with Elastic Bands
French braids are fantastic for keeping hair contained. Part your hair down the middle and create a French braid on each side. Secure the ends with elastic bands.
Use bright, fun colored elastic bands. They add a playful touch. A little hairspray can help prevent flyaways around your face.
12. Low Ponytail with a Silk Scarf
Elevate a simple low ponytail with a beautiful silk scarf. Gather your hair into a low ponytail and tie the scarf around the elastic. Let the ends of the scarf hang down with your hair.
Pick a scarf with colors that match your swimsuit or cover-up. It makes the look feel more put-together.
11. Beach Waves with a Wide-Brimmed Hat
Sometimes, the best accessory is a hat! Let your natural or created beach waves flow. Top it off with a chic wide-brimmed hat.
Not only does the hat look stylish, but it also protects your hair and face from the sun. Keep a small travel-size humidity spray in your beach bag for touch-ups.
10. High Bun with a Hair Stick
A hair stick is an elegant way to secure a high bun. Twist your hair into a high bun and slide a decorative hair stick through it to hold it in place.
There are so many beautiful hair stick designs, from simple wood to intricate metal. Make sure your bun is twisted tightly before adding the stick for a secure hold.
9. Bubble Ponytail with Small Clips
This style is fun and easy. Create a high ponytail. Add elastic bands down the length of the ponytail, creating “bubbles” between them. Then, add small clips to each section.
Little star or heart clips are adorable. Gently pull on the sides of each bubble to make them look fuller.
8. Pulled-Back Hair with a Statement Clip
Keep the front sections of your hair out of your face with a bold clip. Pull back the hair from your temples and secure it at the back of your head with a large, eye-catching clip.
A clip with a unique design or shiny finish works well. Teasing the hair at the crown before clipping can add some nice volume.
7. Fishtail Braid with Shell Charms
A fishtail braid has a lovely, bohemian look. Create a loose fishtail braid. Once it’s done, attach small shell charms using tiny rings or bobby pins.
You can find shell charms at craft stores. Keep the braid loose and slightly messy for that perfect beachy vibe.
6. Twisted Half-Up with a Floral Scarf
Twist two sections of hair back from your face and secure them with an elastic. Then, tie a colorful floral scarf around the elastic.
Let the ends of the scarf hang down with the rest of your hair. A few bobby pins can help keep the twisted sections from coming undone.
5. Space Buns with Glitter Clips
