Beach Hairstyles

Ready for the beach?! We always are, and we’re going to go ahead and assume you’re right there with us. The beach never gets old during the summertime. It’s where we’re able to spend time outdoors, soaking up the sun, spending time with our favorite people – what’s NOT to love?! Anyways, while the beach is all fun and games we all want to feel like we’re still able to rock cute summer hairstyles. Need some hairstyle inspo for the beach? We’ve got you covered with some super easy summer hairstyles that are perfect to wear to the beach this year.

Few things say beach ready quite like beachy waves and a ponytail. So why not just combine the two?! Keep your beach hairstyle cute and easy with a high ponytail that lets your natural textures shine. Complete the look with a colorful ribbon.

Want to wear your hair down to the beach? Rock your favorite beachy waves with a twist – in the form of a braid. Style your hair with a large, dutch French braid starting at the top of your head, wherever your part begins, and bringing it down the ends of the hair.

Pigtail French braids for the win! We love the beachy twist to the classic hairstyle. Styling hair with a center part, stopping the braids are the nape of the neck. Use some of the hair in the ponytails to wrap around the hair tie to complete the look. This will keep your hair out of your face at the beach with ease.

Let your hair flow in the beach wind and leave it down! We know you don’t always want to wear your hair up, but you still want it out of the way. In that case, try something like this! It doesn’t get much easier than simply clipping the sides of your hair back with oversized hair clips. Make sure they coordinate with your beach attire!

Keep it relaxed and effortless with your braids for the beach this summer. Don’t worry about making your braids perfect here, the oversized look just adds to the style and relaxed feel. Bring both braids into one middle ponytail secured low. Instead of just leaving the hair tie, add a fun scarf or ribbon!

Another way to rock clips with style this summer season to the beach. Again, let your beachy texture do its thing and really be the focal point while pinning back a few of those pesky pieces of hair. This time pin them back by styling a section into a braid and securing with an oversized hair clip.

Hair accessories are a must have in our opinion. They make it so easy to transform your most simple hairstyles. Like this, the hair is very simple with easy waves but the look is elevated with a delicate headpiece placed over the hair like a dainty crown.

We’re sure you’ve seen French braids and other style braids a plenty when it comes to beachy hairstyles. This is a unique twist to the look though because of how the placement of the braid is asymmetrical. Pulling the French braid off to one side keeps it simple but adds that fun twist.

There’s something about pigtails that we never get tired of. They’re just so cute! Instead of keeping it simple with your simple braided pigtails use a fishtail braiding technique. The fishtail technique gives the classic style a different aesthetic and keeps the hair secure in the braid.

This may be the easiest beach hairstyle to DIY on the list – really…it doesn’t get much easier. All you have to do is tie a scarf around your head like a headband, secure at the nape of the neck and that’s it! Use the scarf to hold back the hair closest to your face while you’re at the beach, it also adds some fun print to your beach look.

Didn’t we say accessories have the ability to completely change the look of even the most simple of hair styles? We weren’t kidding! That’s why we love accessories in hair for beach hairstyles. You want a look that’s easy so you don’t have to fuss with it, but is also really cute. This is the perfect example of fusing the two together.

A lot of us will tie our hair back into a half up hairstyle when we just want to get some of our hair out of our face. But when you’re heading to the beach you probably want to hone in on the relaxed vibe the beach offers us. That’s why we love this half up style, it’s loose and relaxed making it perfection!

Scrunchies are trendy again (we know…we couldn’t believe it at first either!), the good news is scrunchies allow you to pull your hair back and prevent the dent hair ties often give. Get a fun color scrunchie and use it to loosely tie your hair back into a half up style for the beach.

Another half up style using a scrunchie but this time, it’s styled into a high bun! The high bun gives you a little extra perkiness to your hairstyle which is a fun contrast to beachy waves. Using a scrunchie for this look will keep it easy on your hair and tends to prevent your hair from getting super knotty.
