Hail to the Headband
The headband has gone through quite the evolution in the past few years. We started seeing it come back to life on boho Coachella babes then we started seeing stars rock it on red carpets. Avoid sweaty bangs with a sparkly headband.
Braids for Days
Part headband, part hot day head saver, this braided look has been seen on stars headed to the gym or on date night. This tousled look would even work for that beachy summer wedding.
Mini Top Bun
We are still not completely on-board with or understanding the man bun, however, we are thankful that it has provided inspiration for us. That mini man bun does have a cute quality to it, when we rock it with a half up, half down look.
Retro Pony
Ponytails don’t only have to reserved for a sweat sesh, with a little teasing and a curl of the ends, it can be the ideal warm weather black tie affair do.
Top Knot
Not to finished or overly styled, the slightly messy texture of the bun makes it summer-ready. With just a few bobbi pins and a hair tie, the perfect top knot can be yours, our tutorial even shows you how!
Fabulous Fishtail
For longer or medium-length hair, the side fishtail braid was a go-to warm weather do. Showcase the fishtail with a half up, half down look and a sparkly headband.
The Short-Haired Side Braid
Short hair gals rejoice, you do not need to say “goodbye” to your beloved side braid just because you shed some length. A tightly braided mini braid and tousled waves like Carrie Underwood’s are the perfect balance of rocker chic.
