Hey girls! I don't know about where you guys live, but in my home town, the weather is getting warmer. Summer feels like it's just around the corner... Which is obviously very exciting, but we all know that with warmer weather comes humidity, and with humidity comes frizzy, unmanageable hair! But fret no more because I have the perfect hot weather solutions for your hair, regardless of your hair type, texture, or length!
Curly/Wavy: We curly girls have natural volume and texture, which is awesome, but we are also more prone to frizz than other hair types are. To smooth your locks during warm or humid weather, make sure you apply leave-in conditioner or an anti-frizz spray after showering. Two hairstyles that look great during the summer are beachy waves and a high top knot. To achieve the perfect beachy waves, brush out your wet hair to loosen the curls and finger-comb a dollop of mousse through your waves. Gently blow dry with a diffuser to get that tousled, ready-for-the-beach look. For the high top knot, brush the snarls out of your hair, tip your head over, and gather all of your curls into your palms at the top of your head. Secure the hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a cute little bun. Secure with bobby pins or another hair tie. Add a cute headband to dress it up! This hairstyle keeps you cool because your hair will be off your neck.
Straight: Although they don't have as much frizz, straight haired girls still have the issue of coming up with creative ideas for their hair. Two cute summer styles for straight hair are half up-half down and the invisible ponytail. For half up-half down, use a comb to take the two sections of your hair that frame your face and separate them from the rest of your hair. Now, you can either braid or twist each of these sections before pinning or clipping them together at the back of your head. Add a hair bow or a fun barrette to dress it up! The invisible ponytail is the easiest thing ever. Brush your hair into a ponytail, it can be high or low, whichever you prefer. Take a small section of the ponytail and wrap it around the base of your ponytail until you can no longer see the elastic. Secure with a bobby pin. This is just a more stylish and grown-up version of a basic ponytail! Both of these styles are great for keeping your hair out of your face in the heat.
Long: Long hair is so beautiful, but it can be a real pain in the neck when it gets hot out. Literally. To keep cool during the summer months, try a reverse side braid. This is almost as easy as the invisible ponytail! A reverse braid is nearly the same thing as a regular braid, only instead of braiding the pieces of hair over one another, you braid them under one another. Gather all of your hair to one side of your head and braid over your shoulder when you do this.
Short: Short-haired girls have it the easiest in the summer time! A cute style for shorter hair is just to add hair accessories. If you find that your bangs keep falling in your face, use rhinestoned bobby pins or a wide grosgrain headband. Bows are always adorable too! You can experiment with braiding your bangs, or pulling all of your hair back into a cute mini ponytail.
