HAVE A LARGE FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT WITH SEVERAL GIRLS? PRO TIP: Mix and match these hairstyles for a fun, carefree look throughout your images!
1. A trusty braid.
Whether you go for a classic French braid or opt for trendy fishtails, braids are a surefire way to keep your hair looking neat and camera-ready. Plus, they look super effortless and beach vibe-y.
2. A simple twist
Twisting sections of hair and securing them back not only looks effortlessly chic but also helps tame any pesky flyaways, ensuring your photos turn out flawless.
3. A Knot
Whether you rock a sleek top knot or go for a tousled bun, knots are perfect for keeping your hair out of your face during windy photoshoots.
4. Bobby Pinned
When it comes to beach photoshoots, bobby pins are a secret weapon everyone should consider. These tiny, versatile tools are the unsung heroes of hairstyling, and here’s why they’re perfect for keeping those front strands out of your face. Use decorative ones to add interest to your ensemble!
5. Headbands
If you've spent time styling your hair for the photoshoot, the last thing you want is for it to get ruined by the wind. A headband helps to protect your hairstyle by keeping it neatly in place, ensuring that you look your best throughout the shoot.
6. The classic ponytail
Beach breezes can be unpredictable, but a ponytail offers a low-maintenance solution for keeping your hair under control. By securing your hair at the nape of your neck, you can minimize tangling and ensure it stays photo-ready, no matter how gusty it gets.
