Bring the romance of summer front and center with soft twisted hair in classic shapes and rosy-hued cheeks. Since summertime means longer days, sunshine and hot humid weather, it’s the perfect opportunity to try out some gauzy and unstructured styles.
Soft natural waves are the perfect look this time of year. This no fuss style is ideal, as it doesn’t require sitting in front of a mirror with a hot curling iron or straightener. If your hair is naturally straight, fake a wave by sectioning your hair into four pieces and braiding each one before heading to bed. Spray with a little hairspray to keep the style.
In the morning, simply un-do the braids and brush out the waves with a soft bristle brush or your fingertips. You don’t want to completely loose the effect, so make sure only to run the brush or your fingers through once or twice. Keep the hair off your face by making a deep side part and pinning in back sections for a light and easy half up-do. You can accent with optional twists and/or braids to enhance that classical romantic aesthetic.
Another option that is great for both long and shorter hairstyles starts by creating a large loose French braid around the crown of the head. Make sure to pull pieces of hair out to keep it from looking overdone. To give the look a little something extra, try braiding in ribbons of lace. Then with the remaining hair, make a side ponytail or bun at the nape of your neck for an easy style that not only looks beautiful, but will also keep you cool and comfortable when the temperature rises.
Finish the look off with a flush of soft pink on the cheeks and lips for the perfect dreamy warm-weather beauty look.
