Beach Day

it's summer. heading downtown to the Chicago beaches for some time in the sun is one of my favorite pastimes. i love everything about the beach. except what to do with my hair. here are some of my favorite styles that i have tried out and grown to love.

_______

FRENCH BRAID SIDE CHIGNON

i love Ana from IHOD.  over on eHow, she gives a full tutorial on how to tame your locks in a chic side braid chignon. its perfect for when you need a hairstyle that'll stay all day, and you'll almost never have to touch up. 

_______

SEA SALT AND TWIST SCARVES

i absolutely love sea salt sprays. they enhance the waves in your hair, like the ocean air would. my favorite way to style these effortless waves is with a twist scarf or a cute headband. make sure you use a leave-in conditioner with sea salt sprays, to keep hair healthy.  

_______

TEASED BUN/PONYTAIL

a teased updo is  another simple hair style that anyone can do. 1. comb 2. tease 3. secure. done and done. you may have to tame some flyaways - spritz some hairspray in your teasing brush or comb, and lightly brush into place.
