Going on vacation is the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind, and it doesn’t mean you have to neglect your hair. Whether you’re planning to lounge at the beach, explore a new city, or enjoy a night out, there are several vacay hair styles that look effortless and polished. Read on for our favorite humidity-combating vacation styles and products…

The bun

Not only is doing a bun a quick and easy hairstyle, but it’s also perfect for those hot and humid days. There are many variations to try that can be dressed up or down - from a messy bun to a top knot to a low and sleek twisted bun. This style works well for both long and medium length hair. Once you’ve got your bun styled to your liking, finish the look with a control spray – we love R+Co’s Foil Frizz + Static Control Spray. This spray creates long-lasting, flexible control for smooth, shiny results.

The Braid

Whether you opt for a simple three-strand braid or a more intricate style like a fishtail braid, this hairstyle is perfect for keeping your hair under control. To keep your braid from frizzing up, try using a leave-in conditioner before braiding your hair. R+Co’s Suncatcher supercharges your hair with a nourishing and protective leave-in conditioner that helps soften, seal, detangle and fight frizz. It can be used on damp or dry hair, alone, or layered beneath styling products to optimize their performance.

Beachy Waves

If you’re headed to the beach, beachy waves are a fabulous option for a natural and effortless look. You can achieve the style by applying a salt spray or texturizing spray to damp hair, scrunch or tousle, then let your hair air dry and voila…you’ve got a effortless waves. To achieve frizz-free waves, R+Co’s Rockaway salt spray helps create buildable voluminous waves and tousled texture.

The Low Ponytail

The low ponytail is a versatile hairstyle that’s perfect for vacation and a great way to keep your hair out of your face and off your neck while still looking put together. To add some volume to your ponytail, try teasing the crown of your hair with R+Co’s Zig Zag Root Teasing + Texture Spray before pulling it back.
