With the sun’s rays illuminating the skies and the short Canadian summer out in full force, it’s officially time to rock your best beach beauty. If you need a break from your usual beach waves, try styling your flowing locks into a beach bun. Similar to the beachy wave, this hair trend involves loose, haphazard tresses which are swept up into a charmingly messy bun.

Far from being boring, there are a variety of takes on the beach bun which can transform your locks into a masterpiece. To create visual interest, you can try weaving plaits into the hairstyle and creating a chic wrapped chignon. Meanwhile, texturized face-framing strands of hair can emphasize your visage and offer an instantly beautiful effect.

If you prefer sleek sophistication, you can also scrape your hair back into a flawless high ponytail and then create a topknot. This simple hairstyle may be inspired by the low key vibes of the beach, but there’s nothing about the ‘do which limits you to sand and sea. On the contrary, the beachy bun can even take you to dinner, drinks and beyond! However you decide to rock the look, remember to leave a few strands loose and integrate natural-looking, wavy texture into your style.
