As the warmer months draw near, say good-bye to bouncy curls and pin straight tresses. It’s time for easy-breezy hairdos that are fab and functional. But don’t settle for messy buns and frizzy ponytails this summer, get inspired and create cool braids and romantic updos.
1. Fishtail
Of all of the different types of braids, the fishtail may be the easiest to achieve. Although it looks incredibly complicated, it only involves two strands of hair and can be worn tight or a little undone for a messier look.
Stay on trend with a top bun. If you’re feeling creative, leave a section out of the bun, braid it and wrap it around the hair for a cute remix. Or tease the hair before bunning it for a casual look.
Don’t write off the ponytail as a yawn-worthy do. Just smooth out the top of your hair and secure a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Wrap sections of your hair around a large barrel curling iron for a charming style.
When it’s sweltering hot the last place you want your hair to land is on your neck. To get a messy updo, part your hair and begin twisting backward, securing with pins along the way. Gather the leftover hair and wrap it into a messy bun and secure with pins. Voila!
