With the humidity during summer, it can be hard to tame your locks. All that time spent smoothing your hair goes out the window as soon as you step outside. Our solution? Braids!! It’s a great way to get your hair out of your face, stop fussing with your heat tools, and still look pulled together.

We met with the experts over at The Blow Out Bar who gave us the lowdown on the hottest braid trends this summer.

 

1. Half Up Braided Fishtail

Swap out a fussy up-do and forget the bobby pins! This braid is perfect for a summer wedding.

2. French Fishtail

Spice up your usual office look for this fun summer style! This look wears well for the workplace because it keeps the hair out of your face!

3. Double Braided Pony

This look is great for hot summer days spent outside. Think summer barbeque, pool party, or trip to the beach!

4. Crown Braid

Stand out in the crowd at your next formal wedding or black tie event!  This eye-catching braid is simple but is sure to get you noticed.

5. French Bangs

Make that second-day.. okay third-day hair last a little longer with this easy Friday work-day look!


You can achieve these hair looks for as little as $10 from our friends at the Blow Out Bar. Stay on-trend at all your summer events this year!
