Maintenance Tips for Beach Hairstyles
- Practicality above everything else – you don’t want to spend two hours in front of the mirror adjusting your hair when you know it will get swept by the wind on the beach. Choose a hairstyle with an easy maintenance that can be fixed up pretty quickly.
- Keep the accessories practical – a scarf is a great way to keep your hair in place and the same time protects your hair from sun damage. Alternatively, a straw hat always looks stylish and won’t mess up your hairstyle while protecting you from the sun.
- Don’t forget to protect your hair from the sun too – to finish off your hairstyle apply a bit of sun protection spray, and ideally wear a hat.
- Salt water can do a lot of damage to your hair – make sure you add moisture to your hair by using a conditioning treatment once a week, and using a good quality conditioner after each wash.
- Avoid using any heat treatment if you’re hitting the beach – using a flat iron or curling iron may achieve the desired look, but these heat treatments dry out the hair a lot, which will only get worse when it’s exposed to the sun.
