Effortless Waves

Raw, unkempt hair, especially in the wavy or curly styles, is truly Scandinavian. These effortless, unkempt curls resemble that you just left the beach or by the lake and did not bother to comb your hair. The secret is mastering your waves by embracing natural texture by incorporating sea salt sprays that give hair that mermaid appeal.

Shoulder Length Waves

As the season is in its peak, shoulder-length waves are a fashion now all over Scandinavia. They add a relaxed summer feeling but are still stylish enough to wear in the office or on a weekend trip.The secret is to make it look and feel more natural than this applies a mousse while the hair is still wet with water and blow dry with hot air naturally. Then wash your hair gently, and allow your hair to dry naturally. Once your hair is dry, take your fingertips and run it through the hair to make the waves. Last but not the least, with a mist of sea salt spray, concentrate on the midlength and the ends to create more volume and shape.

Beachy Bottleneck Waves

For a sultry, bedhead kind of hair perfect for dates or outdoor events, make bottlenecks waves with a middle parting. An excellent styling product to apply in this process is a curl cream or thickening balm, apply and blow dry the hair using a round brush to make bends from the ear level to the ends. After rinsing, towel-dry and then rub a small amount of a lightweight oil through your hands and run it through your hair to create separation between the waves and to emphasize the bottlenecks. After styling, you can spray sea salt spray and scrunch hair to enhance the texture.

Bardot-Inspired Loose Waves

For a sophisticated and alluring look that speaks of 1960’s style a la Brigitte Bardot try loose and rather voluminous waves swept over to one side. Blow dry damp hair and then, create a side part and then take the hair at the back and start curling with a one-inch curling iron for mid-length hair inwards. Use the curling iron for 5-10 seconds before letting go of the hair ending the process on the barrel. Sweep fingers through the waves to dampen them and mold them into the desired shape; use a hairspray with flexible hold to lock in the style. To finish, apply the waves on one shoulder for a sexy femme fatale effect.

Braids

Braiding is the interweaving of several strands, and this art is a traditional component of the Scandinavian culture, which was used during festivals and religious rites even back in the Viking period. Scandinavian braid trends continue to follow modern weaving and loose elements that reflect the summer. This also ensures hair is well parted especially during warm weather as well as the best hair accessories.

Fishtail Milkmaid Braids

Scandinavian fishtail braids are particularly popular in the winter because of how complex they are while still giving off that cute, lazy girl vibe. There are two ponytails on the head – at the crown and fishtail braid each of them to the ends; fasten them with clear elastic. May you run ribbons through the center of the braid or strew small wild flowers at random – the idea will be simply splendid. The pretty result derives the trend from traditional milkmaid style with a contemporary flair.

Messy Side Braid

The messy side braid is ideal for a Scandinavian summer look. Hair could be washed in the morning, but the hair must be slightly damp to achieve the braid across the head over to one shoulder, with loose face framing pieces crossed over and secured at the end with a leather strap. To get more texture and prevent slipping, damp hair with salty spray then braid before you unravel strands according to your preference of sexiness.

Goddess Braided Updo

Complex interweaving of hair is also popular now and can be an ideal solution for a bustle wedding or other solemn occasion. Another hairstyle that you should consider is the formation of a braided crown where hair is Dutch braided at the crown extending from ear to ear. Under sections cross sections to make the braid lie flat on the head. Once you get to the other ear, continue to braid down the length of the hair then coil inwards into a neat low bun or a chignon pinned neatly. Loosen the updo by running your fingers through hair strands to create some spatial perimeters around the face area. Lastly, they embed small wildflowers in the braid crown and sprinkle them within the updo for the final classy touch.

Accessorizing scandinavian hairstyles

There is nothing more suitable to complete the Scandinavian hairstyle than the right accessory to match it before going for the day or night.

Summer Flower Crowns

Finally, the idea of singing the praises of Scandinavian summer can be summed up with the help of this piece of advice: do not forget about floral crowns. Create a tiara of wild flowers by either picking a few from your own garden or just selecting flowers that are of your chosen colours. Entwine stems and fasten with floral wire and then try to form a wreath that is comfortable to wear on one’s head without sticking into hair.

Hair Wraps

Hair wraps of leather and fabrics are of Scandinavian flair and these are simple ways of putting hair together in pony tails or braid during warm weather without inconveniences of hair falling on the face. Search for novelty printed fabric scraps or use leather cords in tan or black colour. Around your hair tie at the end of your ponytail, you can wrap the hair tie, and for braid fastening you can use bobby pins. Not only do they serve the primary purpose of holding specific items but they become fashionable accessories in order to flaunt the Scandinavian theme.

Hair Combs

Scandinavian hair combs have been around for ages made with woods, bones, and horn but are still effective for styling at the moment. As lovely souvenir items, find delicate hand carved combs in Scandinavian styles often with floral or other designs carved into the handle. Secure an elaborate bridal updo or add two combs to one across the low bun or chignon to complete the style.

Bobby Pins

Swedish bobby pins with beads and rhinestones provide opportunity to add inexpensive, individual bling to simple and functional Nordic hairdos. For braids, chignons or messy buns, select pins with sparkling stone accents, carved wood beads and metallic luster. Insert them between updos or hairstyles that involve braids to give a glimpse of the intricate work and reflect the light.

Headbands

Head scarves are essentials of Scandinavian outfits, which can either beautify hair and give a note of colour or pattern or secure hair back. It is no longer a mere prop that is added in the last few minutes of the styling process but is instead integrated into the outfit. Tie them around your head twice from the crown of your head with a colourful patterned or solid fabric or use wider ones for puffs, braids or ponytails. Coordinate it with delicate bohemian type maxi dresses or contrast with leisurely t-shirts and shorts.
