There's something magical about that post-beach hair texture – tousled, lived-in, and perfectly imperfect. At Murphy Gozzard, the best salon Paddington has to offer, we've mastered the art of creating that coveted beachy look year-round, and we're sharing our insider secrets.
Beachy hair starts with the right foundation. Our women’s hair stylist team recommends soft, feathery layers that create natural movement and texture. Whether you're sporting a long butterfly cut or a playful bixie, layers are essential for that effortless, windswept vibe. Book a consultation and we can find the perfect cut that works with your natural texture.
Tips and Tricks for Beach Hair Perfection
The key to authentic beach hair is embracing texture, not fighting it. Start with damp hair and scrunch in your styling product, working from mid-lengths to ends. Let it air-dry or use a diffuser on low heat to enhance your natural wave pattern.
For a more polished beachy look, try braiding damp hair overnight and unravelling in the morning for gorgeous, natural-looking waves. And remember, beach hair should look lived-in, so don't stress about perfection. A little piecey texture and separation is exactly what you're after.
