Beachy Hair Looks: Effortless Texture & Waves

Nothing says vacation like beachy waves. Achieve this iconic look with Redken's Beach Spray. Simply scrunch into your hair and let the ocean breeze (or a little air drying) do the rest.

Pro Tip: For heatless beach waves, braid damp hair before bed. For extra hydration and soft strands, prep with All Soft Shampoo and All Soft Conditioner.


Boho Braids: Vacation Vibes & Easy Style

Boho braids are perfect for vacation. Try loose, messy braids, fishtail braids, or incorporate braids into a half-updo for a relaxed yet chic style. These are ideal for keeping your hair in check while sightseeing or lounging by the pool.

Why We Love Them: Boho braids work for both casual and dressier occasions.

Pro Tip: Prep hair with One United Leave-in Conditioner before braiding for added manageability, protection, and frizz control.




Vacation Braids: Low-Maintenance & Chic

Braids are a vacation essential. French braids, boxer braids, or a braided crown are stylish and keep your hair out of your face during activities. They’re a great choice for easy vacation hairstyles.



Protective Styles for Curly Hair:

Protective styles are a must for curly hair, especially in humid or sunny climates. Box braids, twists, cornrows, and other protective vacation hairstyles shield curls from damage while looking effortlessly stylish.

Why Protective Styles Are Ideal for Vacations:

  • Minimize daily styling
  • Protect from sun and saltwater
  • Offer versatility and longevity

Pro Tip: Before styling, use One United Leave-in Conditioner to nourish and protect curls. Enhance moisture and softness with All Soft Shampoo and All Soft Conditioner.




Easy Beach Hairstyles for All Hair Types:

Need quick and easy beach hairstyles? Consider these low-maintenance vacation hairstyles:

  • Messy Bun
  • Half-Up, Half-Down
  • Low Ponytail
  • Headbands and Scarves

Pro Tip: Deep Clean Dry Shampoo is your go-to for refreshing hair and absorbing oil between washes.
