When you're on vacation spending a lot of time on your hair or makeup is usually not on your "to do" list. Vacation hair should be quick, easy, and low maintenance. Yes, you still want to look good lounging by the pool but who wants to waste time using a hair dryer when there are so many sights to see and tropical drinks to sip?
Vacation usually means more sun, salt, and UV rays leading to some seriously parched strands. Dry, frizzy hair is harder to manage. A sleek blowout can turn into a frizzy mess in less than an hour when humidity is in full force. Save yourself the time, the space in your luggage, and the headache of trying to tame constant frizz. We've got three no fuss ways to do vacation hair.
Half Up Top Knot
The half up top knot takes less than a minute to pull your hair up into and looks effortlessly chic. You can easily take this hairstyle from pool side to sunset dinner and drinks. If your hair gets a little wavier on vacation don't worry, it'll look great with this style.
You'll Need:
A hair tie
4-8 bobby pins (depending on how thick your hair is)
Dry shampoo
Texturizing spray
Here's how to do the half up top knot in under a minute:
Easy Beachy Waves
Nothing says vacation or summer like messy beach waves. Believe it or not this look can actually get better with a little humidity, salt water, and sun. That is if you're styling your hair right. According to Vogue, getting the perfect beach waves requires a little TLC and some expert guidance for your specific hair type.
Fine hair won't curl like thick hair does. And hair that's already wavy can't be styled the same as pin straight hair to achieve this look. So how does this hairstyle still qualify as no fuss? Just make sure to follow the guidelines for you specific hair type below.
You'll Need:
A moisturizing base product
Salt spray or texturizing spray
Hair oil- only if your hair is naturally very frizzy
Fine Hair
Thick Straight Hair
Wavy or Curly Hair
*For extra frizzy hair add a pump or two of hair oil and rake it through your hair.
Throw on a Headband
"It's the headband of the day/ the headband of the day/ push your locks away/ it's the head band of the day." If you follow Chrissy Teigen on instagram you've likely heard John Legend sing this song to her every day for the past few weeks while she reveals her newest headband of the day on vacation in Bali. Throwing on a wide headband with a loud pattern is the perfect way to do beach chic with zero effort.
You'll Need:
1 to a few wide, twisted, colorful headbands
A hair tie if you want to also throw it up in a bun like Chrissy does
Here's how to rock your headband:
