Just because school is (almost) back in session doesn’t mean summer is over, so don’t start snoozing on your local watering hole just yet. If you’re in the pool/ocean/lake a lot, you don’t need me to tell you about H2O’s tangling and drying side effects. Since growing out my hair, I’ve consistently failed at beach hairstyles: they either work in the water, but look terrible when I get out, or dry perfectly once I get out, but nearly choke me with every wave that passes by. So far, it’s been a lose-lose situation — a lose-lose-lose if you count the fact that I often have to get out of the water early in order to fix the sitch.
With this year’s remaining beach day count dwindling, why waste time doing your hair when you could be hanging with friends, reading, or swimming a few more laps? We all know people flock to salons every day begging for beach waves (albeit not the same kind that are born on the actual sand), but if everyone wants them so badly, can’t we find a way to make them as manageable as they are beautiful? I challenged myself to find the solution this weekend at my latest surf lesson, where my
teachers were actual Billabong pro surfers (NBD) and basically experts on beach hair — which was great, because I was making absolutely no progress on either on my own. For most of them, it was all about the prep work. “Even before you get in the water, put leave-in conditioner all over your hair,” Alessa Quizon advises. “You don’t have to shampoo afterwards, just scratch the sand out while you’re still in the ocean and use a really good hairbrush!” The hairbrush thing is key, I quickly found out. “I always have a Wet Brush and a jug of water in the car to rinse the sand out,” says Courtney Conlogue. “It’s a miracle worker because it doesn’t break your hair. If I have a couple of gnarly knots, I’ll go next level. It’s like, it’s on!” Courtney also swears by the importance of a haircut that works with and accents your natural hair texture. “I had never had my hair properly cut until this. She gave me a clean cut with layers in the front, and now I can just flip my hair dry and go.” Laura Enever, who has insanely soft hair (side note: sorry for touching it so much), applies “a crazy amount” of leave-in conditioner before she gets in the water. “It protects and it’s so hydrating! It keeps sand from getting stuck in there,” she says. “But then you have to worry about seaweed and that’s
even harder. [Laughs] You just have to pick it out!”
I took the girls’ advice and hit the water with conditioned strands, resulting in textured tresses for sure, but no knots whatsoever, which cut my rinsing time down to a cool 20 seconds. To polish it off, hairstylist Caile Noble suggests adding a little oil or smoothing cream to rehydrate ends, then spraying John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Surf Spray from root to tip, braiding hair, and undoing it for instant texture. “Beach hair isn’t about being perfect, it’s the imperfections that make it beautiful,” he says. “Let’s put the product in, live our lives, and just see what happens!”
