Beach hairstyles for summer 2012 think fun, creative, and of course low maintenance, especially if you’re hitting the ocean. We all want to look good, choose styles that suit your personality and coordinate with your swimsuit. Think twists, side ponytails, braids, floral hair clips, head scarfs, or be daring and create your own look using a small towel. Always remember, go with the idea of the humidity, salt water, and beach winds and keep your hair away from your face.
Simple Low Ponytail With Twists
You want simple yet very beachy looking? Then go with this fun and easy look. Hair can be almost any length. Just make sure you have enough hair to pull back into a slight ponytail and create a few twists in it.
Create this look on dry or wet hair. I prefer to do the twists on dry hair, this way it’ll give your hair a longer appearance.
Comb your hair straight back. Don’t be too worried about having the hair completely smooth looking. Messy is the way to go these days. Secure the pony using a coated elastic or a fabric hair scrunch.
Now select your hair strands of choice. Make sure the sections of hair are thin. Twist each strand until you get to the end and secure each one with a tiny rubber band.
Sultry Scarf Styles
Head scarfs are a huge must have this summer 2012. Use a scarf to make your look simple and casual, or spice it up and create a sultry and sexy beach look. How about a braid intertwining with the scarf in your hair? This looks is fabulous.
Create on wet or dry hair. Make sure the hair is knot free. Comb the hair straight back and gather into a low ponytail. Make sure you place the scarf into the ponytail before you secure it. Now Secure with an elastic.
Grab sections of the hair along with the scarf and start braiding them until you reach the end. If your hair is short, take the remaining scarf material, and wrap it around the base of the pony, or tuck it under and pin.
Wet And Wild Scarf Style
Take two of the hottest looks for 2012, and make it your new beach look. First give yourself the wet look by applying hair gel to the ends, roots and shaft of the hair.
Place head upside down and scrunch the hair for a good 5 minutes. Lift head up and scrunch again. Spray hair lightly with a light hairspray or a salt spray. Scrunch one more time.
Now decide the placement of the hair scarf. Do want a high ponytail, low ponytail, messy hair down style, bun or half up? Create your desired look using the scarf. Voila! This can be an every day beach style.
Accessorize The Simple Bun
Think bold, fun, array of colors, and flower hair clips. Create the bun. It can be placed wherever you desire. Then place the hair clip into the hair.
