While for many of us, “beach hair” may be synonymous with long, wind-swept waves, there are plenty of chic options for those of us with shorter cuts.
Keeping your hair styled and comfortable in the summer heat and humidity can be a challenge.
So I have rounded up some stylish looks for short hair that deliver on style and practicality. These are designs that allow for air flow and freedom so you can enjoy the ocean breeze.
