Twist it up and over. This bohemian style consists of two schoolgirl braids that are then overlaid over the top of the head, one over the other, and secured with bobby pins. It’s a look that works beautifully with a center or side parting, and it has a romantic appeal.
Embrace the straight. If you have straight lengths, give your curling iron a well-deserved holiday. The curls just won’t stay and nobody likes frazzled ends from over-enthusiastic styling or the dreaded crispy curls that look like piglet tails. We’re not forgetting you curly-haired girls, either—book in for a Brazilian blowout or keratin treatment to smooth your locks for fuss-free summer styles.
A style for the savvy, a topknot on the very top of your head is a perfect way to stay cool. Not only will it keep curly or straight hair off your face and neck, but it will also elongate your neck and make you look taller in one go.
If you are intent on wearing your hair down, give it a duality in texture by combing some gel through the entire top section. Add a metallic barrette to fix your hair in place and you will tame humidity induced frizz and look catwalk cool.
If you are blessed with a mane of hair, this style should be your go-to. Pull your hair up into a pony and loosely braid the tail, securing it with an elastic. Regardless of hair type, you’ll look smart and sophisticated.
