Sizzling Summer Hairstyles

Jun 25, 2012

Fun in the sun never looked better with these hot celebrity hairstyles that are easy to do and look fabulous anytime, anywhere!

Topknot

The go-to hairstyle all long-haired celebrities are sporting when out grabbing a frappuccino, the top-knot is an easy kick-back hairstyle that gets heavy hair off your neck. Bonus points for being an easy day-into-evening style: wash hair and twist into a top-knot by day, and at night, let your hair flow down and fall into tendrils.

Side braid

Miley Cyrus’ other everyday look is the side braid. It was also Katniss Everdeen’s look in The Hunger Games and it’s all over the tabloids and the beach, too. Best when done on dry hair, comb out any knots, then pull hair to one side, separate into three strands at the nape of your neck, and make a messy braid all the way down. Pull out some pieces on the opposite side to even out the style.

Beachy Waves

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – don’t work too hard on your hair during the summer. You have so many better things to do with your time, like getting outside and having fun! Plus, with the heat and humidity, curling, setting, straightening and even blow-drying your hair will do more harm than good and will only end up going wild by the end of the day. One added plus – sea air actually helps create and hold beachy waves for a great finished look.

Pixie Cut

Emma Watson, Vanessa Hudgens and so many other teen stars are cutting it short for movie roles and keeping it short for a great new look. The pixie cut can make you look a little older and make bigger features like ears or your nose look bigger, so try on this look with care.

Braided headband

We love the braided headband look! Gather a 1-inch wide section of hair just behind your ear and braid it up and over – either in a French braid, a simple 3-part braid or a fishtail – securing it with an elastic and tucking it behind your opposite ear. Leave the rest of your hair natural and wild!
