The Power of Braids for a Summery Look
Braids have always been a go-to summer hairstyle, and for good reason. They're versatile, stylish, and can keep your hair out of your face in the heat. Whether you're lounging by the pool, exploring a bustling city, or dancing the night away, braids offer a timeless and elegant solution.
- French Braids: A classic French braid adds a touch of sophistication to any occasion. You can wear it down your back for a casual look or create a braid crown for a more glamorous event. Try incorporating a small braid into a half-up, half-down hairstyle for a touch of playful elegance.
- Fishtail Braids: This intricate braid adds a touch of bohemian flair. It looks particularly stunning when worn with a flowy summer dress. For a more relaxed look, try a loose fishtail braid with a few strands left out around the face.
- Dutch Braids: Similar to a French braid, but with the braid woven under the hair instead of over, Dutch braids offer a unique twist with a touch of volume. Dutch braids can be styled in a variety of ways, from a single braid to two braids on either side of the head.
- Box Braids: For a protective style that lasts, box braids are a fantastic option. They're low-maintenance and can be styled in countless ways, making them perfect for a summer vacation. Experiment with different colors or add beads to personalize your look.
Ponytails: The Versatile Summer Staple
Ponytails are the ultimate 'get up and go' hairstyle. They're quick and easy to style, and they can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion.
- High Ponytails: A high ponytail instantly elevates your look, making you feel confident and ready for anything. You can create a sleek, polished high ponytail or add a bit of texture for a more casual vibe.
- Low Ponytails: For a more relaxed vibe, a low ponytail is the perfect choice. You can style it sleek and polished or add a little texture for a more casual feel. Try wrapping a small section of hair around the hair tie for a more polished look.
- Side Ponytails: A side ponytail adds a touch of whimsy to your look. It's perfect for a casual beach day or a glamorous evening event. Accessorize with a hair scarf or a cute clip for a touch of personality.
- Braided Ponytails: For an extra touch of style, try incorporating a braid into your ponytail. You can braid a section of hair at the crown or wrap a braid around the base of your ponytail. Experiment with different braid styles, like French braids or fishtail braids, to add a unique twist.
Top Knots: Effortless Chic for Hot Days
When the heat is on, a top knot is your best friend. It's the epitome of effortless style, keeping your hair out of your face while still looking chic.
Try a messy top knot for a casual look or a sleek top knot for a more polished feel. You can even accessorize your top knot with a headband or a hair scarf for a pop of color. For a more glamorous look, try a braided top knot.

Half-Up Half-Down: The Perfect In-Between Style
For those days when you want something in between a ponytail and a full updo, the half-up half-down style is a fantastic option. It's versatile, flattering, and can be styled in countless ways.
Simply gather a section of hair at the crown of your head and secure it with a hair tie. You can leave the rest of your hair down, or you can curl it or braid it for a more elaborate look. Experiment with different variations, like a half-up, half-down with a braid or a half-up, half-down with a bun.
Weaves for Effortless Summer Style
Weaves are a popular choice for summer, offering a convenient way to achieve a variety of looks without spending hours styling your hair each day.
With weaves, you can experiment with different lengths, textures, and colors. The possibilities are endless! You can try a long, flowing weave for a glamorous look, or a shorter, more playful weave for a casual vibe.
If you're looking for a seamless and natural look for your weave, we recommend using a Brazilian Deep Wave 5x5 HD Closure. The HD lace blends in beautifully with your skin, creating a natural-looking hairline.
To add volume and bounce to your weave, we recommend using Brazilian Deep Wave hair bundles. This luxurious hair type creates beautiful waves that are easy to manage and perfect for a variety of summer hairstyles.
Tips for Styling Summer Hairstyles
Now that we've explored a variety of 'get up and go' hairstyles, let's dive into some tips for styling and maintaining your summer hair:
- Protect from Heat: The sun and heat can damage your hair, so it's essential to use a heat protectant spray before styling your hair with any heat styling tools. This will help to prevent heat damage and keep your hair looking its best.
- Hydrate Your Hair: Summer's heat and humidity can dry out your hair, so it's important to keep it hydrated. Use a leave-in conditioner or a hair oil to keep your hair soft and manageable. Look for products that contain ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil, which are known for their moisturizing properties.
- Avoid Over-Washing: Washing your hair too frequently can strip away its natural oils, making it dry and brittle. Try to wash your hair 1-2 times a week during the summer. You can also try using a dry shampoo between washes to absorb excess oil and refresh your hair.
- Protect from the Sun: The sun can fade your hair color and damage its texture. Use a hair scarf or headband to protect your hair from direct sunlight. You can also try a UV protectant spray for extra protection.
- Refresh Throughout the Day: As the day goes on, your hair might lose its style. Refresh it with a little water and a light styling cream. You can also use a hairspray to help keep your style in place.
Summer is a time to embrace your natural beauty and have fun with your hair. Experiment with different styles, find what works best for you, and enjoy the carefree spirit of the season!
