Summer is right around the corner, airfare tickets are going on sale, and your passport is burning a hole through your back pocket. With vacation season upon us and your flight already booked, it’s time to start thinking about what hairstyles you’re going to rock as you travel the world.

This can be a daunting choice for some. You want to find a style that’s low maintenance so that you can spend more time on the beach and less time fighting frizzy hair from the humidity and heat. However, you still want a style that’s versatile and fashionable so that you can feel confident no matter where you are, the occasion, or the activity. Protective styles are always a great go-to for your vacation since they can stay in for months at a time (with proper care), do not require much upkeep, tuck away your ends to prevent splitting and frizz, and encourage new growth at the root. However, there are so many different styles that it can feel like searching for needle in a haystack to find that perfect summer look.

Well, no need to fret. ECO STYLE has put together a list of 5 protective styles that will keep your hair in check while looking fabulous.
