Choosing which hairstyles to rock throughout the summer months can be tricky, will it match with your outfit, will you have time to make it look awesome, and will it suit you? Leave all the hair drama back in spring and breeze through the summer months care-free and with fabulous hair. We’ve collated our six favourite hairstyles that we think will steal the show this summer!
The Low Ponytail
Think your everyday ponytail and flip it on its head. This look is the simplest to create but looks chic and stylish, and suits pretty much all hair types, we think it’s a total win win. Shuffle your ponytail to the bottom of your head and fasten with a hairband or bobby pin. You can add an extra element by twisting a piece of hair around the ponytail to avoid the hairband showing, totally flawless!
Top Knot Bun
Running errands, heading to the shops or doing duties around the house, this effortless look is the one for you. Rocked by Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, this is a real trend-setting look. Start with a high ponytail and begin twisting your hair around the top of the ponytail, hair band or bobby pin in place for a top knot that looks like it took hours! Want to keep it even more casual? Ruffle up the bun and pull out some hair at the front to frame your face
Corkscrew Curls
Although this look can take slightly longer to achieve, the results last for days! The tight ringlet curls can add tonnes of extra volume to your hair as well as some well needed extra sassiness! Once curled, they can last up to 4 days without any real maintenance and we think that’s music to your ears girls! The longer hair the better for this look, find out about our extension options to make this look a real winner. When creating this look, make sure you’re curling from the bottom up and you alternate your direction of curl, this will ensure the most natural look.
Fishtail Plait
Plaits are perfect for all sorts of occasions but sometimes they need that extra touch of sparkle and this is where the Fishtail Braid comes in, it’s a plait with power! Taking only minutes to create this plait looks intricate and detailed but realistically is totally the opposite. The braid is created by creating a small ponytail at the base of your head and splitting it into two. Starting on the right hand side take a small section from under your right ponytail and pull it up and over the right to join the left hand pony. Repeat this step on the opposite side, taking a small section from underneath the left pony and pulling it up and over to join your right pony. It may sound confusing at first, but you’ll totally get the hang of it after a few goes.
Double Dutch Braid
With festival season upon us, we thought it would be rude to leave out the Dutch Braid or as we like to call it “The festival favourite”. This look is a love of festival go-ers for its ease and simplicity, or in other words, its ability to cover up the dreaded third day festival hair! Perfect for accessorising, this versatile look can incorporate hair rings, glitter and feathers, go crazy girls! Take a section of hair at the top and separate it into 3 equal section – left, middle, and right. Take the left section and cross is under the middle one. Now take the right section, and cross it under the middle. Start adding more hair into each section as you go and continue until you reach the bottom, where you will finish it off with a normal plait.
Natural Waves
We know we include a natural wave in nearly all of our style blogs, but that’s because we think this style is a must try in the summer months! Whether you go for the soft curls or the messy beach waves, they take seconds to create but can leave a lasting impression for hours. Our extensions are also great for adding the extra length to this look, because who doesn’t love lengthy curls? They can be created with curling tongs, straighteners or by sleeping in plaits, this look really is that simple!
We think we’ve given you enough looks there to last you through the whole of the summer, but if that’s not enough for you, then how about trying extensions? Add that extra length and volume for the summer months and get dreamy locks all your friends will be envious of!
