How to Deal With Your Summer Hair

It’s the summer and wherever you are in the US, it’s probably hot, humid and sweaty.

The only thing you are thinking about is cutting off your long hair. But you might not want to spend money on a stylist. Instead, you might want to take your summer hairstyle matters into your own hands.

But wait! Put the scissors down. Everything is going to be okay.

Last summer I made that very mistake, late at night, after a few glasses of wine… Yep. It was too hot to deal with my long hair, and I was aggravated with life and needed a good change. The next morning I looked in the mirror at my proud accomplishment and gasped.

Never again will I cut my own hair. I shamelessly drove to the hair salon closest to me and had them style it for me.

So if you are about to make the move, let me share a few clean, pretty and easy to do summer hairstyles that won’t require a trip to the salon.

1 The Messy Bun

Let’s start with the basics. You can never go wrong with this classic on a hot summer day. It keeps your hair up and adds a little grunginess to your style or outfit.

2 The Messy French Twist

The French Twist is an easy one! All you need for this one is a few bobby pins and good hairspray.

3 The Fishtail Braid

The Fishtail Braid is not as hard as one would think. I would recommend watching this awesome Birchbox Video on how to do it. It’s a great way to part your hair to the side so the weight doesn’t drag on your back.

4 The Braided Ponytail

You can never go wrong with this classic, summer hairstyle. The ponytail is a great way to stay cool this summer. If you’re looking to stylize it, then try adding a side braid as seen in the YouTube video below.

5 The Bow Bun

Here’s one hot-weather hairstyle that never gets old. This hairdo is perfect if you have a bow obsession, or if you’re really into the Kate Spade bow look.

If you still aren’t convinced by these beautiful and classic summer hairstyles, then maybe it’s time for a haircut, like a long layered bob.

There are also many ways to enjoy your curly hair with fun, sexy styles for those bouncy locks.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t be afraid to try out a new look today!
