1. Braided Bun in a Lighthouse Hair Clip

A simple braided bun is a great way to stay cool on your trip to the coast, especially secured with a classic lighthouse hair clip.


The lighthouse has always been a symbol of hope. When Hurricane Ian devasted much of Sanibel Island, Florida, the beloved and steadfast Sanibel lighthouse stood firm, even with the loss of one of its legs. What a beautiful symbol of strength and hope!

These beautiful lighthouse Flexi clips come in two finishes, with one named in honor of the iconic Sanibel lighthouse. 

Flexi clips work in all types of hair, from baby fine to extra-long and thick. Learn more about them and determine your size HERE.

13. Classic French Twist in a Blue Starfish Flexi Hair Clip

The classic French Twist hairstyle is my favorite hairstyle to wear to the beach as it is a great way to keep all my hair out of my face.

It is also a great beach hairstyle for frizzy hair (raising my hand!) because it is all pulled back neatly to keep the wind from tangling it and making it even more frizzy (and who needs that?!)

To learn how to do a quick and easy French Twist, see my video tutorial HERE.

If I secure it with a Lilla Rose Flexi hair clip, then it holds all day, even through the wind and rough ocean waves. This beautiful beachy "Tidepool" Starfish is one of my favorite styles, with its gorgeous shades of blue.

22. Ponytail in a Flexi SPORT

The classic ponytail is the best beach hairstyle for long hair, medium-length hair, or short hair! The key is to use a waterproof, super-grip, no-slip hair clip like the Flexi SPORT, that will not budge, even in rough waves. 

The Flexi SPORT is great for surfing, swimming, the beach, or the pool. 

Unlike ponytail elastics that pull, snag and tangle your hair, the Flexi Sport clips in easily and comes out with just one hand...no pulling wet, tangled hair through nasty elastics or ponytail holders!
