Soft Waves & Beachy Vibes: Spring Styling Trends for Bluffton Locals
Hello Spring: It’s Time to Lighten Up
The sun is shining, the breeze is warm, and in Bluffton, SC, we’re ready to trade heavy layers for linen dresses and fresh hair vibes. Spring 2024 is all about effortless beauty—and at Salon Karma, we’re seeing a major wave (pun intended) of requests for soft, touchable styles that feel relaxed yet refined.
Whether you're heading to the waterfront, brunch in Old Town, or just living your best Lowcountry life, these spring styling trends are the perfect match. Let’s dive into what’s hot, how to achieve it, and why Salon Karma is your go-to hair salon for beachy, beautiful hair.
Trend #1: Soft, Lived-In Waves
Spring’s most requested look? Undone, romantic waves that look like you just came back from a sun-kissed island getaway. This style is flattering on all hair lengths and textures—and can be dressed up or down.
Why We Love It:
- Works on short, medium, and long hair
- Adds body and bounce without feeling “done”
- Pairs beautifully with dimensional color or balayage
Pro Tip from Our Stylists:
Ask for a textured long-layer cut to help your waves fall just right. Our team uses custom-cutting techniques to enhance your natural texture and ensure your hair moves effortlessly.
Trend #2: Airy Volume with a Glossy Finish
Gone are the days of stiff, over-styled hair. This spring, it’s all about volume that moves and shine that reflects the sunlight. Think soft blowouts, root lifts, and healthy, glossy ends.
How to Get It:
- Start with a customized Kerastase or Oribe hair treatment to restore hydration and bounce
- Add a root-lifting mousse or texture spray at the crown
- Finish with a shine-enhancing serum or gloss treatment for that fresh-out-of-the-salon glow
At Salon Karma, we tailor your blowout or style session to your hair type, so you walk out with hair that holds its shape—without the crunch.
Trend #3: Beachy Texture with Low Maintenance Color
Bluffton locals know that spring leads straight into humid Southern summers—so styling trends that work with the weather, not against it, are key. That’s where beachy texture and lived-in color shine.
Perfect Pairings:
- Balayage + Beach Waves = sun-kissed perfection
- Face-Framing Highlights with soft waves = an instant glow-up
- Root smudges and toners to extend the life of your color and minimize upkeep
Our color specialists at Salon Karma are trained in advanced techniques like root melts, glossing, and custom tonal blending—because no one wants brass or stripes when they're going for soft and sunkissed.
How to Make It Last: Pro Styling Tips from Salon Karma
We love giving you that fresh-from-the-salon look—but we also want you to feel confident styling it at home. Here are a few tips our stylists swear by for keeping your beachy look on point:
Heat Styling Hacks:
- Use a 1.25” curling iron and alternate curl directions for a more natural wave
- Leave the last inch of hair out for an effortless, undone finish
Texture Boosters:
- Spritz with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for volume and grit
- For finer hair, try a light sea salt spray for separation and hold
Nighttime Routine:
- Sleep in a loose braid or bun to preserve wave patterns
- Use a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz and breakage
And if you ever feel like your waves are falling flat—just pop in for a quick refresh blowout. We’re happy to help bring the bounce back.
