With summer officially here, days at the beach are on their way to becoming a part of weekly schedules. From wanting a nice tan to craving the fresh smell of sea water, heading to the nearest beach a few times this summer should be on every girl's wish list. Though you desire to be at the beach, something you desire a little more is finding the best beach hairstyles that take minimal effort.
Growing up in Florida made heading to the beach a regular thing. Bored on a Saturday? Go to the beach. Pass all of your classes so there's no summer school? Go to the beach. We even celebrated many birthdays, graduations, and job terminations at the beach too. And because we spent so much time in the sand and surf, my female friends and I were always searching for was the best way to wear our hair while there. Although hats worked in some situations, that didn't take away from the frustration we felt trying to keep it blowing in the wind. After finding the best, quickest, and cutest styles to head to the beach in though, our trips became so much easier to manage because we didn't spend time worrying about how to protect our hair or hats.
