Hey, Curlfriends! Spring break is all about fun, sun, and effortlessly gorgeous hair. And if you’re heading off on vacation, having your hair on point is non-negotiable. The last thing you want is hair stress holding up your beach vibes or brunch fits. So what styles are giving this season? And how do you keep them cute with minimal effort? Don’t worry—we’ve got you.
This is your go-to guide for vacation-ready braids that are low-maintenance, long-lasting, and straight-up stunning.
Best Braids for Spring Break
Bohemian Box Braids - Boho box braids are a top-tier vacation look. They’re carefree, full of personality, and give that effortless, beachy vibe with zero hassle.
Feed-in Cornrows - Laid and lovely. Cornrows keep your hair off your face and stay sleek through heat and humidity. Perfect for exploring or lounging poolside.
Goddess Braids - These braids come with curly ends that bring softness and glam. They're called goddess braids for a reason—you're giving ethereal beauty all vacay long.
Fulani Braids - If you love a detailed, face-framing style, Fulani braids are it. The patterns are bold, fun, and perfect for making a stylish statement wherever you go.
Knotless Braids - Lightweight, tension-free, and easy to wear. Knotless braids are the go-to if you want something that feels good and looks even better.
How to Protect Braided Styles from Sun, Salt Water, and Chlorine
Vacay doesn’t mean you skip the care. Here’s how to keep your braids intact through all the sun, surf, and sand:
Rock a satin scarf, wide-brim hat, or even a swim cap when needed.
Keep your braids in a bun, ponytail, or chunky plait to minimize tangling.
Avoid fully submerging your hair unless you’re protected.
If you do get wet, rinse and cleanse with a moisturizing shampoo.
Hydrate daily with a water-based leave-in conditioner.
Use a lightweight scalp oil to soothe and moisturize.

Quick Braid Refresh Tips to Keep Styles Fresh All Trip Long
Use a palmful of braid mousse, then wrap your hair in a silk scarf for a polished look by morning.
Touch up your baby hairs with gel for a quick glam moment.
For curly or boho braid ends, spritz with water or leave-in, then finger detangle.
