Summer Hairstyles

I absolutely love beachy waves, and the perfect bohemian look with hair flowing all the way down. But when the temperature is rising and we get all sweaty, we resort to the up does, ties and the knots. I know it's like so last season. But we can always upgrade and go chic with few of these tricks:

Ponytails:

1960's sophistication can be worn with a modern twist with variations in ponytails. High ponytails, side with a mermaid braid, or a low ponytail, you can rock all these with a lot of elegance. The 60's inspired ponytails can be worn on a date night, party or at your work. We can go for the volume towards the back of the head or loose/ slightly grungy strands pulled out to the frame of the face like "oh-so-Marc Jacobs"
Wrap your own hair around the base of the ponytail hiding the elastic band, and secure it with bobby or U-pin, this will instantly upgrade the simple up-do.

Braids, Braids and more braids:

Nothing looks more playful or chic than the braiding. I have been quite obsessed with this for sometime now.

1. Classic braid: 

It's very simple, just gather all of your hair underneath one ear and start braiding the 3 strand weave ( regular).

2. Fishtail braid:

 Sea inspired style with a twist on typical 3 strand weave, is the awesomest way to play with your hair for that fun-edgy look. You can wear it messy or neat, this hairstyle is surely to catch some attention. You can style it with accessories or go braid- crazy with your locks like my friend did. She breaded three different fishtails and secured it with an elastic band to the end of the braid.

3. Crowned braids:

It's basically a french braid that begins from above one ear and go through the head as in like the crown. The look is ultra-feminine and  totally modern.

4. Bangs-get-away-Braid:

 If you want those bangs to get off your face , just braid the front section of your hair ( either fishtail style or the regular 3 strand weave) and secure it with a bobby pin.

BUN:

 1. Loose bun: 

No time to style??  Gather your hair together, and make a loose bun . Easiest, casual-chic and a lazy solution. Accessorize with the double head bands or a head scarf.

2. Sock bun :

 I know sounds creepy right, but trust me, you'll love this gorgeous ballerina kind of bun. Cut off the toe section of a black sock and roll the sock. Make ponytail, and pull the end of your pony through the hole, cover the sock with the tip of your hair and tuck under, covering the sock. Slowly roll the sock down towards the base of the pony and pin it securely.

3. Braided bun:

Combination of two things that I really love, Sophistication of a bun and romanticism of a braid. There are countless ways to wear this hairstyle. First braid the hair and coil it either sideways, or on the top of your head and secure it safely with bobby pins. You can also create an upside down french braid under your top bun creating the modern version of a simple bun.
