3 Easy Summer Hairstyles!

As the hot summer months approach us, it is time to prepare for all that Chicago has to offer. With all the outdoor concerts, street festivals and brunch dates, most of us are not looking to spend hours on our hair everyday. Here are some of our favorite summer hairstyles for when it gets too hot to move, let alone blow-dry, flat iron or curl.
 
1. The Ballerina Bun

A tight high bun will help keep you cool in the summer heat and will also give you an instant elegant feel. To get this look, spritz damp hair with texturizing spray and pull it back into a high ponytail then twist the tail around the base and secure your hair with bobby pins. If you’re short on time, try slipping in a hair donut. The donut will quickly create the same look and also help keep shorter layers in place. 

2. The Tuck and Cover
The Tuck and Cover is another easy hairstyle that will keep your shoulders cool during the hotter months. To get this look, all you need is a stretchy headband. You can find step-by-step instructions here and watch a video tutorial here. To summarize, all of your hair should be wrapped up and then tucked into the band. If any tails or flyaways slip out just wrap and retuck them. If any of them are too short to reach, hide them within the loops. Finish with hairspray.
