Quick & Easy Beach Hair

Quick Hairstyles for the Beach from ZIGZAG Hair Studios

On the beach, the idea is to look as laid-back and free as ever.

Of course, most of the time, that’s just an illusion. Beach hair is often less “I’ve been surfing and my hair just naturally turned out this way”, and more “I spent at least 30 minutes in the mirror perfecting this, so don’t even THINK about getting it wet”!

There are so many hair styles which look amazing for the beach, and with the arrival of summer, you can easily recreate them at home.  All you need to start with is a fabulous hair cut and colour so book your appointment now by calling your local ZIGZAG Hair Studio using the links below:

Plaited Summer Hairstyles

There’s also the added bonus that when you take them out, you’ll have beach waves, without spending hours with a curling iron and drying out your locks.

Wear your plait in whatever style you fancy.  It can be high on the crown, a low side-plait, two braids or even a halo braid if you’re feeling adventurous!

Top Knot Hairstyles for Summer

Give your hair a good brush, pull it up into a ponytail at the crown and secure it with a band.  Then twist your hair around until it turns into a little knot.  Secure with a second band.  

This look is awesome on women and men with long hair, so lads don’t need to feel left out.

If the mood takes you, why not go for two top knots for a change?

Summer Hairstyles – High & Low Ponytails

High ponytails are fab for making your cheekbones look really high, which is especially good if it’s simply too hot to contour.

Low ponytails are the ultimate in low-maintenance, so they’re great for beach trips.  

For a cool night-time look that’s quick and easy, wear your ponytail low and to one side.  Maybe add a few waves to it using your styling wand.

Summer Hair Accessories

There are lots of pretty hair accessories out there, that will perfectly complement the summery feel of the rest of your outfit. Hats are the best – they keep you cool, and they can be super stylish. But flowers and scarves work equally well, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
