summer hair 101

In most parts of the country, the heat has become sweltering. I am pretty lazy about my hair all year long, but the heat of the summer makes it particularly difficult to put any effort into my hair beyond the basic ponytail.

Luckily, there are some super simple styles that actually take about the same amount of effort and produce much chicer results. The bun, braid, and ponytail are the trifecta of summer styles. Below, some examples of chic and easy styles that will keep you cool.

The key to any of these styles is having the right tools. Some hairspray, bobby pins, and a teasing brush will help you easily achieve a chic summer 'do.
