Summer has arrived and you can tell because the moment you step outside you react as if you were a vampire in the television hit show ‘True Blood’. It’s hot out there and the last thing you want to do is sweat, especially if there is no treadmill involved. Don’t let the humidity and heat be the reason your hair looks like a mess, try out these fun and easy summer styles:
Braids: Braids are all the rage! So simple and sweet; don’t let the sweet fool anyone. There are several ways to wear braids for any occasion. For work and a casual day: try a thick one sided, fishtail braid. For those nights out or to a wedding, braiding a ‘headband’ like look across your head is irresistible and perfect for pulling your bangs away from your face. If you want to take it up a notch, try the waterfall braid!
Low pony: Start by lightly teasing the crown of your head and for those with less volume that want more, try teasing the hair above and behind your hair. Use a hair tie and fasten your hair, a little above the base of your neck. This is a very classic, Bridget Bardot look! Get extra funky and tease the pony tail.
Headbands and headscarf: Headbands and headscarves are your gift from the hair gods for those with bangs. No one likes a sticky forehead. There are tons of pretty 
and inexpensive headbands and headscarves anywhere. Choose a headband or headscarf that channels your personality or that compliments your outfit.
Messy bun: Just leaving the pool or didn’t have time to wash your hair? Perfect. The messy bun is sexy and easy to do. Try a messy bun, placed lower and to the side for a fun and flirty look. To vamp up your style or to get all the hair off your skin, try a high messy bun or even try a sock bun.
The key to great summer hair is to keep it easy and cool! Just throw it up and don’t overdo it, have fun with it!

I love the simple look of having a headband with a pony or piggies. But, my daughter will not leave the headbands alone! She loves to take them on and off and by the time the day is over, it’s a complete mess. So, here’s my solution. More time consuming, yes, but really cute too.Start by making a pony, leaving out some hair underneath. Split the hair underneath into 2 sections and add some elastics. It’s not going to be seen once you make your messy bun, so it doesn’t really matter how it looks under there. Braid both of the sections and lay them over the top of her head. Position the braids where you want them and add a clip to keep the braids together and temporarily anchored to her head. Starting on one side, at the bottom (under the pony) sew the braid onto her hair the same way I did it with this hairstyle . Once you get to the point where the braids meet, tuck the end of the other braid underneath and keep sewing. When you get past the elastic of the other braid, you’ll need to bring the ribbon through both braids to hold them together for a couple of stitches. Like I am doing here…….. Sew all the way to the other side, positioning the braid as you go. When you get the the bottom, tie the ribbon in with the elastic and make your messy bun.If your little girls hair is on the thinner side, I would recommend doing the stitches diagonally for a better hold. Also, if you have time, you could sew it twice, making the second stitches slanting the opposite way, forming X’s all the way across. This would hold it really well. Make sense? If your little girls hair is long enough, you could do one braid going all the way around. Or if it’s shorter, start the braids up by the ear. That will give you an extra couple of inches on each side.
