Sun's Out, Hair Up!
1.
2. Summer is in full swing -- tis the
season for picnics in the park, day trips
to the beach and roasting
marshmallows at evening bonfires. It’s
also the season of extreme temps that
threaten your tresses. Frizz, sun
damage and sweat can ruin even the
best hair days. But don’t throw in the
beach towel just yet! Instead of
fighting summer hair woes, beat the
heat before it strikes (and avoid the
hair-on-neck situation) with pretty
updos. From buns to braids, there’s an
updo for every occasion.
3. Top Knot
The top knot is your new go-to
summer updo. This versatile look
works for any occasion: at the office,
relaxing by the pool, even an elegant
night out, as Tika Sumpter
demonstrates. To style a top knot,
start with a ponytail that rests high on
the crown of your head. Use a comb to
tease the base of the pony for volume
then use your hands to twist the tip of
the pony until the entire pony is
spiraled tight. Wrap the spiraled hair
around the elastic, starting at the
base, as many times as possible until
you’re left with an inch of hair. Tuck
the remaining inch under the knot and
secure with bobby pins.
4. Side Bun
Get away from the everyday ballerina
bun and shift to a side-bun. They take
two minutes to create and are perfect
for second-day hair. Start with a side-
part. If you have side-swept bangs,
your bun should rest on the same side
as your bangs. Gather your hair right
behind your earlobe and secure with
an elastic. If your hair is thin,
backcomb your ponytail to fill it out.
Then, loosely wrap the pony around
the elastic once. Secure with bobby
pins. Continue wrapping and securing
until the whole pony is wrapped. For
thicker hair, use large bobby pins to
hold the bun in place. Finish with
hairspray.
5. Side Braid
For this sweet 'do, use a French
braiding technique to achieve Rita
Ora’s look. Part your hair to one side
and gather it all to that shoulder. Start
with a thin 4-inch section above your
ear. Then, separate that section into
three pieces and start braiding. After
you’ve woven two strands, begin
adding additional strands of hair to the
original section, making sure to
include all strands to avoid flyaways. If
you have bangs, you can either pin
them into the braid or leave them
down to frame your face. Continue
braiding until you have a small amount
of hair left and secure with an elastic.
6. Fishtail Pony
Fishtail braids are the perfect way to stay
on trend in the summer months. To get
Blake Lively’s texturized look, don’t brush
your hair before styling. For a sleek look,
brush out hair and add a dime-sized
amount of shine serum. Start with a
ponytail. For shorter hair, lower the pony
until you have enough to rest about three
inches on your shoulder. Separate the
pony into two equal sections. Then, take
a small section from underneath the right
side and pass it up and over to the left
side. Let the small section go so it
becomes part of the left section. Do the
same for the left side by taking a new
small section from underneath and
passing it up and over to the right side.
Continue switching sides and passing
small sections of hair across each section
until you have a small amount of hair left.
Secure with a clear elastic. For a big,
undone braid, gently pull apart random
loops until they hang loosely.
7. Half-Up
Got a summer date? This is the perfect
'do. Half-up, your hair will stay out of
your face so you have a good time
without constantly checking the
mirror. To create a look like Diana
Argon’s, let your hair dry naturally for
texture and add mousse for volume.
After your hair has dried, create a 2-
inch part and comb the rest back.
Tease at the crown and secure in the
back with a clip or bobby pins. Pull out
a few thin face framing pieces for a
flirty look.
8. Messy Bun
Busy morning? Don’t waste precious
summer hours styling with heat!
Instead, make a quick messy bun and
go enjoy the sunshine! Wash your hair
the night before to cut time even
more. For the perfect messy bun like
Lake Bell’s, flip your head over and
gather all of it in one hand. Use the
other to wrap an elastic around the
whole section. Twist the elastic once
so it crosses, and pull your hair
halfway through the elastic. Bobby pin
each side of the loop you’ve created
down. Pin other sections of the loop
until the elastic is hidden.
9. French Twist
Even though this updo looks
professional, you can create it yourself
in four easy steps. First, section hair
into thirds and tease the back middle
section close to your scalp from the
base of your neck to the crown. This
will help the bobby pins stay in place.
Next, brush all sections of hair back,
smoothing sides, and gather in the
middle back of your head. Third,
loosely twist your pony in and up
towards your head until it’s resting
spiraled on your head and the end is
pointing up. Finally, fold the end down
and tuck and roll the spiral tightly to
the left until the end in nestled
underneath the roll. Secure with a
multitude of bobby pins and show off
your cool summer twist.
10. Low Side-Pony
This easy 'do is glamorous enough for
special events but understated enough
for summer weekend barbecues.
Create a 2-3 inch side part and comb
the rest of your hair back. Gather hair
to one shoulder and secure with an
elastic behind one ear. Leave bangs
and short face framing pieces out. Use
beach spray for textured waves, or curl
just the ends for soft coils, like Carrie
Underwood.
11. Wrapped Pony
Boost your regular pony with a
sophisticated addition. To get Jessica
Chastain’s voluminous look, brush all
of your hair back and tease the top.
Next, gather your hair to the middle
back of your head. Holding your hair
there with one hand, use your other to
pull out a 1-inch section from the
bottom of the pony. If your hair is thin,
pull out a larger section. Leave the
section resting down as you secure the
rest of your hair with an elastic. Then,
take the left out section and bring it up
vertically. Wrap the section around the
elastic until there is a tiny bit
remaining. Use a bobby pin to secure
the remaining bit into the wrap. Use
additional pins to secure the wrapped
hair.
12. Braided Pony
Goodbye, boring ponytails! Gain style
inspiration from Jennifer Morrison to
create a look-at-me updo that’s great for
a formal event or a big day at the office.
Start with a deep side-part and section
off a small amount of hair in the top layer
towards your face. Begin tightly French
braiding where the part begins, and
slowly add sections from hair around
your face on the left side. Once you reach
your ear, stop adding pieces and finish
the braid. Secure with a clear elastic.
Leave the braid out and brush the rest of
your hair into a ponytail. Secure with an
elastic. Bring the braid back to the
ponytail and wrap the braid once. Secure
with bobby pins that go through the braid
and secure it to your head. Wrap the rest
of the braid until the end of the braid is
left. Tuck the end under a layer of the
braid and secure with pins. Finish with
hairspray to prevent flyaways.
