The heat and humidity of summer can cause havoc for your hairstyle, causing the hairstyle you wore during fall, winter, and spring to become lifeless or out of control. In order to avoid an endless string of bad-hair days, it is important to adapt your hairstyle to the time of year. Fortunately, today’s best summer hairstyles tend to be easy to achieve and low maintenance. The key to summer hair is to keep it simple; your hair should look fresh and natural rather than looking like you slaved over it for hours.
The bohemian trend that has swept through Hollywood and the fashion industry offers an excellent option for anyone looking for a low-key summer style. Boho hair is loose and unstructured; think Kate Moss and Siena Miller. To achieve this look, ask your stylist for long layers throughout your hair. Style your hair with your fingers and a small amount of pomade to create tousled tresses that look elegant, but never messy. Other looks that complement the bohemian trend include simple braids, loose ponytails, and classic French twists.
Another popular summer style is big, loose, natural looking waves. Use a light gel and your fingers to scrunch hair to create waves if your have hair that has some natural curliness. Those with straight hair can achieve the look by using a curling iron to create random curls throughout the hair. This style works best on hair that is slightly layered in order to create volume and texture.
Bangs are another excellent way to make your hair summer ready, with a variety of cuts available to find the bangs best suited to your face shape and level of commitment. Thick, blunt cut bangs are excellent for those who want a modern edge, while long wispy bangs are perfect for those seeking a feminine look. Celebrities such as Ashley Olson and Mischa Barton have helped popularize side swept bangs, which are highly adaptable and can easily be grown out.
