Summer Hairstyles
Are you seeking some fun summer hairstyles to try? Read on to find out our picks for the hottest summer hairstyles:
Fancy Updo
If you’re going to a formal party, then you may want a sophisticated updo. Try a classy French twist for a timeless look. Simply pull your hair into a ponytail, twist, and tuck the ends under the twist, securing with bobby pins that are the same color as your hair. Pull a few wispy tendrils out to frame your face, mist lightly with hairspray, and you’re set!
Casual Updo
Maybe you want to wear your hair up, but don’t require anything formal. In this case, simply pile your hair loosely on top your head and secure with bobby pins. Or, pull hair into a ponytail, twist, but instead of tucking ends, leave them out for an undone look.
Classic Ponytail
Ponytails are always a good choice, and especially so in the hotter months! Try a classic ponytail if you’re on the run, or go for a more sophisticated version. Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure with a neutral colored elastic band. Then, pull a thick strand of hair out of the elastic holder and wrap it around so that the hair obscures the elastic. Secure with a small bobby pin on the underside of the ponytail.
Long and Loose
Romantic waves are back in fashion. If you’ve got long hair, then you’re in luck! Set your hair on medium-sized hot rollers for the longest lasting curl. Before rolling hair, however, protect against heat damage with a heat protectant spray. When rollers are dry, unroll then gently separate curls with fingers. For an even more natural look, use both medium and small curlers for different sized curls.
Straight and Sleek
If you just don’t care for curls, go straight! Use a straightening serum after shampooing, then blow dry straight with high heat and a large, round brush. After hair is dry, use a flat iron for the sleekest strands possible. Mist lightly with a shine spray that contains sunscreen for maximum gloss and protection.
Short and Sweet
If your hair is short or you’re thinking about cutting it, there are two great styles to consider. The first is the bob. A versatile cut, the bob works for both straight and wavy hair, but looks best on straight hair that’s slightly above shoulder length. If you’ve got small, delicate features, you can’t go wrong with a razored pixie cut.
To keep your hair in great shape this summer, make sure to indulge in a weekly deep conditioning. This will help repair the damage from sun, surf, and styling. If you find yourself having a bad hair day this summer, don’t despair. Just throw on a cute cap or even a bandana for sporty summer style!
