Cute Summer Hair Styles
Summer is upon us, leaving many of us wanting to do something a little different with our hair. For some of us, this means getting our hair cut a little shorter, or perhaps getting some buttery warm highlights added if we have darker hair. For me, it’s actually going to be growing my bangs out, which I couldn’t be any more tired of right now. I’m just over them, and I like to wear my hair completely back in the summer, so they are really getting in the way of me pinning my hair back into clips or a headband, since they tend to stick up if I do so.
I’m also thinking about going and getting some warm, caramel toned buttery highlights or reddish hues in my hair to spice it up for the summer, but am holding off since I’m not sure what I want to do yet about that one. There are so many fun hair stylers in the hair accessory aisle of almost any store now. I was just in Target the other day, and saw a ton of hair stylers that I had never seen before. They were easy, stylish new ways to put your hair in a twist or a bun.
And the headbands have gotten really sophisticated. There are some great options for putting all your hair back in a headband, and they’re pretty economical, usually ranging from four to seven dollars in the average store. Many have a trailing length to them that sticks out below the hair that gives a fun, almost hippie chic-ish look to your more care free summer styles, and then there are more sleek options for headbands if you want to look more sophisticated for work or an evening out, with leather headbands, cloth headbands that hold the hair tight to the head, and even metal headbands that give an air of class to the style.
Personally, my favorite way to wear a headband is the scrunchy kind that stretch well, but also are tight enough to hold the hair for a long period without slipping off the head- one of my pet peeves with most headbands. They look really great if you wear your hair loosely, in loose curls or a carefree wave, and leave just a few pieces of the hair out of the front of the headband to soften the look.
Of course, you can also go straight, as I’ve suggested in my recent Sedu hair straightener review, since the more sophisticated hair tools that straighten using ionic energy and ceramic plates that keep the smoothness in by smoothing the cuticle of the hair and sealing it against humidity. If you have hair like mine though, you may be better off to let it go a little wavy in the hot summer months.
