Summer is calling, and so are the sun-soaked beaches! Are you ready to look stunning while soaking up those rays? Let’s talk about the perfect beach hairstyles. We’ve got expert advice from Linda Miller, a hairstyling guru. Let’s dive into her wisdom to make your beach trip a hair-flattering affair.
Beach Waves: The Go-To Style
“Beach waves are a classic beach hairstyle,” says Linda. “They are low maintenance and suit every face shape.” You can get beach waves with any hair type. For a wavy look, use a beach wave curling iron. Linda suggests the 1.25-inch iron for most hair lengths. If you have short hair, stick to the 1-inch iron.
Tame the Frizz: A Tip for Curly Hair
For curly hair, the best tool is a flat iron. “The key is to not curl the ends,” Linda advises. This way, you keep your natural curl at the bottom. If you feel the need for extra frizz control, use a product with hold. Linda recommends a flexible hold gel or mousse.
Key Points to Consider for Beach Hairstyles:
Hair Type: Understand your hair texture (straight, wavy, curly) as it influences which styles will hold up best.
Weather Resistant: Choose hairstyles that can withstand humidity, wind, and water exposure.
Length Consideration: Longer hair may require more effort to maintain in beach settings, while shorter styles can be easier to manage.
Products Needed: Invest in quality hair products like sea salt sprays, leave-in conditioners, and UV protectants to enhance and protect your style.
Maintenance: Opt for low-maintenance styles that don’t require constant touch-ups throughout the day.
Accessories: Consider using hair accessories like headbands, clips, or hats to keep hair in place while adding a stylish touch.
Versatility: Look for hairstyles that can transition from beach to evening without needing a full redo.
Comfort: Ensure the hairstyle is comfortable, as you’ll be moving around and may want to swim or engage in activities.
