The beach is a spirit of freedom and a relaxation zone. They will lie in the sun under the splash of the waves, swim to their heart's content, walk along the shore “to see people and show themselves off.” But, we think, each of us knows how difficult it is to keep our hair in check under those warm waves and breezes, which are not always light. The beach may give us more relaxed conditions in terms of hairstyles, without requiring compliance with the hair code, however, the eternally restless female soul always wants to be beautiful.
And we say, be!
1 Smooth pony tail
To keep your hair looking perfect, avoid curls and waves. Apply any hair oil from the beginning of the hairline to the place where you are going to collect the ponytail.
2 Bundle
An elegant hairstyle for a party after a day at the beach. Spray damp hair with texturizer and twist into a bun at the neck. Let your hair down a few hours later and you'll still get beautiful beach curls!
3 Boxer braids
This hairstyle will help you remove disturbing strands from your face, and at the same time, leaving half or a little more of your hair loose, you will come close to the exciting image of a magical mermaid.
4 Half-crown braid
Don't want to boxer braids? Opt for one half-crown braid, it will also remove excess hair from your face and give you a fresh and youthful look.
5 Scythe-crown
By styling your hair in a full crown braid for the beach, you can sunbathe and swim carefree all day long. And when your hair is dry, voila, your beach curls are ready.
6 Straight bob
When it comes to simultaneously stunning and cooling summer looks, the bob has few competitors. Bonus: hair dries faster!
7 Wavy Bob
You don’t like smooth and straight strands, considering them boring, but do you actually like the bob? No problem. Use a curling iron to create waves in your hair.
8 Flower in hair
When, if not in the summer, should you use hair accessories to their full potential? And the most beautiful of them are, of course, flowers. A romantic and most feminine look is guaranteed to you.
9 Hairpins
Flowers in hair, due to their fragility, are more suitable for a romantic evening or a walk along the embankment, but hairpins of various shapes, colors and types on the beach will take a very practical place, which does not exclude their magnificent aesthetics.
10 Scarf
A beautiful and colorful scarf will add elegance and graceful solidity to your style. It will help you cope with even the most unruly hair.
11 High puffy bun
With such a hairstyle, it is not forbidden to go from the beach and straight to the ball. Don’t forget about the trendy hair accessories this season - it can be not only a headband, but also various hairpins, brooches, and tiaras.
12 Two high buns
Perky, playful, fresh. And convenient. To increase the degree of positive emotions (no, no, that’s not what we’re talking about right now!), slightly release the strands from the buns, this will give them splendor and ornateness.
13 Braids
And, of course, we should not forget about all kinds of combinations of braids and combinations with them.
This season, the trend is unusual but simple hairstyles that will make you the star of boat trips and beach parties.
Half-bun
A half bun (or a high bun on loose hair) has been a trend for several seasons.
This option would be ideal for the beach; it can be created easily and in just five minutes.
Life hack: to this hairstyle you should add accessories like small shiny or bright hairpins, as well as a stylish headband.
Wet hair effect
Your hair looks like you just came out of the sea. A styling gel or cream will help create the effect of wet hair; there are also products in this category labeled “waterproof.”
Life hack: with the effect of wet hair, you can create several hairstyle options, both on long and short haircuts.
Fishtail braid
Chic hairstyle for a beach holiday. Braid the braid to one side slightly casually, leaving a loose strand of hair on one side.
Life hack: to make your hairstyle last longer, apply salt spray before creating it.
Space horns
The Minnie Mouse style (two buns) originally from the 90s is back again. Horns are the most popular hairstyle for festivals and beaches this summer. To this style you can add large sequins (from the 90s style) or small plastic hair clips, preferably colored ones, and you are ready to go to the party. For a daytime promenade, it’s good to make space horns on your loose hair.
Life hack: it’s best to create a hairstyle using dry shampoo - it will last longer.
Twist around your head
Strands twisted around the head on loose hair look elegant, romantic and act as an accessory themselves.
Life hack: you can create this style using a hair band.
Hairstyles with a bandana or light scarf
A bandana or silk scarf will turn just loose hair, a ponytail or a braid into an interesting hairstyle, and will also protect you from the sun.
Life hack: you can tie these accessories in different ways. See this lesson for an example.
Imitation of dreadlocks
No, we do not suggest that you braid real dreadlocks before going on vacation; you can only imitate them by styling them. Fake dreadlocks can be worn loose, and buns of different diameters can be created. This style lasts until you wash it with shampoo, and the damage to your hair is minimal. After this styling, it is recommended to make a moisturizing mask.
Life hack: this hairstyle is created from hair twisted into strands using gel or cream.
Does it make sense to have your hair done on the beach, or will the waves and warm wind ruin all your efforts? Of course it does, because every girl wants to look “100”, regardless of the circumstances! Especially on the beach, where you can not only swim and lie in the sun to your heart's content, but also make new friends or - who knows? - start a passionate romance with a continuation.
Summer is the time to feel like a goddess!
General Rules for Beach Queens
For a woman who is accustomed to carefully taking care of her beauty, choosing a beach hairstyle is far from simple.
1. First of all, the future styling should not be too intricate and complicated, otherwise after the first swim you will appear before others not as Aphrodite, but as a sea miracle-Juda with an incomprehensible ball on your head.
2. Avoid using bulky hair accessories so that you can cover your head with a wide-brimmed hat or scarf while you sunbathe.
3. There is also no need to overuse styling products when creating hairstyles for the beach. But at the same time, it is very important to make sure that your gel, lotion or cream-shine has a thermal protection function: this way they will not only keep the curls in order, but also keep the strands from getting too familiar with salt water and the sun’s rays.
Real wise women will definitely spray their locks with a waterproof protective spray before going to the beach. Health comes first!
Complex weaves are only good for photo shoots
Hairstyles for long hair
Owners of curls that extend below their shoulder blades rarely have to rack their brains for a long time over the question of what hairstyle to wear for the beach. These lucky girls always have plenty of options.
Fishtail braid
The traditional Russian “wicker” will look a bit boring among the waves and tropical greenery, so don’t hesitate to get creative. For example, a lush hairstyle that can give its owner the charm of a true mermaid is an excellent hairstyle for the beach for long hair.
1. Comb your locks well and divide them into two equal parts.
2. Separate one thin curl from the mass of hair on the right side from the outside and connect it with the strands on the left.
3. Now, in the same way, separate a curl from the left side of the hair and throw it to the right.
4. Continue weaving according to the same pattern, alternately throwing the strands from right to left and from left to right.
5. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band.
Convenient, simple, romantic!
Bundle of two braids
Do you want your hairstyle to stay in place throughout the day?
1. Divide your hair in two with a straight or side parting.
2. Braid two braids, securing their ends with elastic bands.
3. Make a careless knot out of the braids at the back of your head and secure the finished hairstyle with bobby pins.
You can safely dive and play volleyball, the styling will not let you down
Scythe rope
There is absolutely no time left to get ready, but you are not going to sacrifice your beauty because of this? A braid made from strands will help out, it is spectacular, but does not cause any trouble in styling. Doing this hairstyle for the beach with your own hands takes 10 minutes.
1. Comb your hair into a ponytail and divide it into two equal parts.
2. Twist each part into a rope.
3. Intertwine both strands together and secure the end with an elastic band.
For added strength, treat the finished hairstyle with wax.
Nothing complicated, right?

Harnesses occupy an important place on fashion catwalks and beaches in the summer of 2017, which is easy to explain: they roll up easily, hold firmly, and look impressive. Don’t be too lazy to master “rope weaving”, and it will come in handy more than once. For example, with the help of a master class from the AllThingsHair–Russia channel, you can learn how to do a beach hairstyle for long hair with your own hands, which is not inferior to salon hairstyles:
Bright turban
Perhaps loose curls are not the most practical option, but with it you will definitely not go unnoticed. And to prevent your curls from getting too tangled and suffering from hot sun rays, call for help with a scarf or a wide summer scarf.
1. Wrap the scarf around your head, tying a knot above your forehead.
2. Pull the loose ends back, cross them at the back of the head and secure them in the folds on the sides.
3. Carefully pull out the edge of the scarf from one side, pull it over the top of your head and also secure it under the bandage.

For the most delicate and dreamy - a quick super-feminine hairstyle from PolinaRepik:
For medium length curls
Women with shoulder-length hair should opt for all kinds of shells, twists and buns that are so popular this summer. In addition, tails of all stripes are at your service, as well as bright headbands, head scarves and hairpins.
Inverted tail or roller
1. Gather your hair into a not too tight ponytail at the back of your head.
2. Divide it in half above the elastic band.
3. Pass the free tip of the tail into the resulting hole.
4. You can stop at this stage, but if you want to pick up your hair, twist it into a neat roll.
5. Tuck the ends of the strands inward, and secure the styling itself with hairpins.
It will take some skill at first
Don’t try to style your hair tightly; let your hair look a little disheveled, as if the sea wind has already had time to work on it. Creative chaos is still in fashion.

The summer hairstyle “beach waves” from the blushsupreme channel looks good on long-haired beauties, but it especially suits girls with medium-length curls:

Another win-win beach hairstyle for medium hair from the AnniesForgetMeKnots channel. Let the English language not confuse those who are not strong in it, a visual master class will dot all the i’s!
For short haircuts
You might think that girls with short hair have nowhere to roam, but this is not so. A gel will come to the rescue of such young ladies, which will prevent their locks from turning into untidy shaggy hair, provide them with an attractive shine and allow them to achieve a fashionable wet effect. Remember: your hair should look like it's just been in water, even if you haven't thought about getting into it yet.
Looking stylish with short hair is easy

For the mischievous and lively, stylists offer a “disheveled” version of wet styling, in which gel-treated curls are lightly crushed by hand and styled in a chaotic manner. Just as the owner of the channel Svetik.K does in her video:

Beach waves- a hairstyle loved by many celebrities, beauty bloggers and girls around the world. This hairstyle gets its name because ideally, beach waves should look like you're coming back from the beach with some sea salt still in your hair and a warm breeze tousling your locks a little. Beach waves don't have to be perfect, it's not a neat, varnished hairstyle, they should look a little careless and disheveled. In addition, you do not need to curl your hair too much; the waves should be soft.
There are many ways to create beach waves hairstyle. I propose to consider the most common of them.
General advice for all methods: beach waves are recommended not to be done on clean hair. On the second day after washing your hair or after a few hours after showering and thoroughly drying with a hairdryer, your hair will look better.
How to make beach waves (curls)
The first and easiest way to create beach waves on your hair does not involve the use of any tools such as curlers or straighteners. To do this, you are asked to create a simple spray by mixing a spoon of coke oil, a spoon of sea salt, a spoon of hair gel and warm water. By spraying all this on your hair you will get a slightly wavy hairstyle with the effect of wet hair. This method is suitable for girls with a fairly stiff and thick hair structure, if the hair holds various styles well.
How to make beach waves (curls) on long hair
There are several ways to create beach waves on long hair.
1. To make beach waves, you need to apply a heat-protective spray to your hair, twist your hair into strands and run an iron through the strands, holding the iron in one place for a few seconds. I tried this method on my own hair and really liked it. It doesn’t take much time, the hairstyle turns out beautiful. If you want the waves to be larger, then twist thicker strands into bundles. The thinner the strand, the smaller the waves.

2. Similar waves can be achieved in the second way without using an iron or other hot tools. You can simply twist (or braid) wet or product-treated hair and blow dry it (or just wait for it to dry). The effect will be approximately the same as with the first method of creating beach waves, but with an iron it will be faster.
3. Beach waves can also be made using a round curling iron (curler) or flat iron. There is no special trick here, just apply a heat protectant to your hair and curl it. Then you can tousle your hair a little and coat your hair with hairspray. Avoid perfect curls; if your hair is long, then it is better to curl it not from the very roots, but closer to the ends of the hair.

Creating beach waves with a flat iron
In addition to a round curling iron, you can use special curling irons to create beach waves. If you don't leave them on your hair for very long, they give smooth soft waves.
Beach waves (curls) on short hair
Beach curls look no less good on short hair than on long ones.
The methods for creating beach waves on short hair are the same as on long hair: either by twisting the hair into ropes, or using a curling iron or curling iron.

Are you going to the sea? Choose stylish and beautiful hairstyles for the beach! With them you will definitely not be left without attention!
Features of summer styling
When choosing a hairstyle for the summer, consider several important requirements:
- Simplicity and convenience. Installation should not take a lot of time and effort;
- Minimum amount of styling products;
- Lightness and freedom. Do not try to build a complex piece of hairdressing art on your head. Carelessness is more appropriate;
- Use accessories that will not interfere with your headdress;
- Don't wash your hair before going to the beach. Shampoos contain components that weaken the hair and wash off the film that protects it from exposure to the sun, salt water and dust;
- Take care of the health of your hair, otherwise a trip to the sea will make it thin, brittle and dry. About a month before your vacation, start washing your hair with special shampoos labeled Sun Care. They contain a complex of various oils and SPF components that prevent pigment from washing out, retain moisture inside the hair and form a thin breathable film on it;
- As for styling, cream gloss is the ideal choice for summer - it is resistant to sea water, holds styling well and gives your hair a beautiful shine. If you want to give your hair extra volume, use a heat protection lotion. Having a light formula, it envelops the strands and guarantees perfect styling. For short hair, it is better to use gel - it will fix the strands well and give the hairstyle clarity.
