Personally, when I go to the beach, I like to get all of my hair out of face and off my neck. There are few things more uncomfortable than laying in the sand, hair sticking to your sweat, getting covered in sunscreen and saltwater, and potentially giving you weird tan lines (it happens). Braids are perfect for the beach – if they’re tight enough, they’ll stay put even if you get them wet, they’re low-maintenance, and they ensure that your hair won’t get in your way.
