BEAUTY BAR: Slick It

Battling the summer heat is a struggle when dealing with your hair, especially at the beach. Most girls (including myself) love coming out of the ocean knowing the salty atmosphere adds natural texture and maybe even a carefree looking wave. During lazy beach days, this style can be achieved quite easily and maintained without lots of hassle. This Fashionista’s hair proves that you can look fresh, natural and put together, even in the summer sun.

I know it may seem a bit strange to slick back your hair in the summertime, but it is key when trying to achieve the ultimate beach hairdo. This look is crisp and cool and I think of it as a “new beach hairstyle.” Even though this look requires your hair to be down, do not be alarmed. It allows your hair to stay out of your face and neck so you feel more free without straggly hairs flying around and becoming knotty. It is a perfect hair style for an easy transition from day to night. This Fashionista’s hairdo pairs perfectly with her cute tie-dyed romper. The tie-dyed pattern and slicked hair combination exude a clean and modern style, while staying beach ready and comfortable. She finishes the outfit with neutral colored leather sandals that have been worn in, providing the comfort she needs for walking on the beach or taking a bike ride. Her light blue colored nail polish makes her feet and hands look tan, helping her look appear even more sun-kissed. This Fashionista is ready to take a stroll on the beach or play in the sand with wet looking, natural hair.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To achieve this look, you need water to wet your hair, a comb to make sure your hair is smooth and some hairspray to top it all off. If you cannot make it to the salty beach water, try a little sea salt spray to add texture. Make sure that you don’t go overboard on the hairspray; this look is supposed to be natural, so if it starts to fall out during the night, let it!
