Summer is in the Hair!

Ahh, the summertime. The flowing sundresses, the colorful bikinis, the fruity little drinks with umbrellas. It's safe to say that the summertime means fun in the sun and what's more fun than beach-inspired hairstyles to accompany your summertime style! Whether its a lively night on the town, or a lazy day of sunbathing, you can achieve stylish yet doable looks as fast as it takes to brush the sand out of those "how did that get there" places. So pull up a beach chair, grab a margarita (or three), and check out some of my favorite summer-inspired hairstyles!

The beachy waves

Big, voluptuous waves are the perfect beach look. And I'm not talking Kim-Kardashian-full-glam-squad-and-hours-of-curling-and-hairspray-waves. I'm talking about the effortless, messy-chic waves that are perfect for bringing out the sexy beach goddess in any girl. To get this look, towel dry your hair and massage a volumizing product into your roots. Apply a styling creme of your choice in small sections working it through your ends. Grab a blow dryer and blow dry your hair downward while scrunching and twisting to give it that extra fullness. Add a braid to give it a fun summer look!

The windblown bob

We all know the sleek bob is the epitome of classic chic. But its ever increasing edginess has taken it to the next level and wearable for any occasion. A choppy, tousled bob is perfect for a day of outside activities. Simply grab a flat iron (after using a heat protectant of course!) and twist into sections of hair, alternating the flat iron inwards and outwards giving it a more unstructured look. Finish with a styling spray to keep your windblown style well-- windproof, and you're ready to go! To personalize your style, add a fun headband to make it pop! 

The flirty pony

The most functional hairstyle is the pony. Turn a plain jane ponytail into a sexy beach ready style in a few quick, easy steps. 

Holding a curling iron vertically, wrap small sections around the curling iron to get a wavy ribbon look. Apply an anti-frizz if you have curly hair to keep unruly hair in place then touch up with your curling iron if needed. Gather all of your hair into a pony with a clear hair tie. And finally, take out pieces to give it that messy look. Voila! Sexy, and functional!
