Styles to Gel With the Heat

Tips for looking put together in the heat.

So lately in the salon, I have been getting a lot of questions like, "how can I style my hair to still look cute but off of my neck?" This is the time of the year when I always receive these questions. Here are just a couple of tips to help us out.

THE BRAIDED SIDE BUN

This is a very simple braid on either the side of your head, or on the middle. Either high or low will do the trick. Just pull your hair to where you want it to be and split in three sections. Then do a braid as far down as possible.  Tie the end with a clear thin hair rubberband. Then roll it around into a curl to create the bun. If your hair is too short to roll around just take then end of the braid and tuck under and pin the ends under to hide.

THE MESSY HIGH BUN

This is extremy simple and all the teenagers wear their hair just like this in the summer. When your hair is dry just flip your hair upside down and just wrap your hair into a hair band.  Let some curly pieces hang down if you have curls to create texture. If not, then either create curls with a curling iron or leave them straight.   Once you have it all in place, spray with hairspray to hold in pace and to help all the flyaways or baby hairs stay calm.

There you go, ladies. Have fun with what you got and remember to keep it simple.  No reason to stress about the style. Messy is in, but put-together-messy.
