The Bun

There are varieties of this classic hairstyle that can take you through the whole summer. A slick bun that is gathered at the top of the head is reminiscent of those worn by ballerinas. For a more casual look, the messy bun has hair pulled out on the sides and may incorporate a headband. Products needed to obtain these looks include hair gel, a paddle brush, hair elastics, bobby pins and hair spray.

Bohemian Waves

The natural look of Bohemian waves is always hot for summer. Many of these styles incorporate braids or twisted hair. This look can be achieved by scrunching clean wet hair while blow drying it. A hair mousse maybe needed to achieve this look. An alternative method is to apply the mousse to wet hair and make several braids. A few hours later, unravel the braids for a soft wavy look. A decorative flower adds a simple but natural look.

The Pixie

This adorable short haircut is popular again. The pixie hairstyle is short on the sides with length on top. It is easy to achieve and can be altered using a brush with hairspray. This unique style brings attention to facial features and works well for those with straight hair. The newest edition of the original 1960’s cut includes more length on the sides and the fringe.
