As the hot summer months approach us, it is time to prepare for all that North Carolina has to offer. There are outdoor concerts, beach & lake time, street festivals and other outdoor fun dates, for which most of us are not looking to spend hours on our hair everyday. Here are some of our favorite summer hairstyles for when it gets too hot to move, let alone blow-dry, flat iron or curl.

The Ballerina Bun
A tight high bun will help keep you cool in the summer heat and will also give you an instant elegant feel. To get this look, spritz damp hair with texturizing spray and pull it back into a high ponytail then twist the tail around the base and secure your hair with bobby pins. If you’re short on time, try slipping in a hair donut. The donut will quickly create the same look and also help keep shorter layers in place.

The Tuck and Cover
The Tuck and Cover is another easy hairstyle that will keep your shoulders cool during the hotter months. To get this look, all you need is a stretchy headband. You can find step-by-step instructions here and watch a video tutorial here. To summarize, all of your hair should be wrapped up and then tucked into the band. If any tails or flyaways slip out just wrap and retuck them. If any of them are too short to reach, hide them within the loops. Finish with hairspray.

Dutch Braid Accented Ponytail
Summer is the perfect time to showoff your best braids. We love this hairstyle because it is easy and time efficient. Try this hairstyle on either wet or dry hair. You can find step-by-instructions here and watch a video tutorial here.
