What you need to know about hair styling in the summer?
- In the summer, hair needs intensive hydration, don"t forget to use additional care in the form of nourishing masks or leave-in balms on the ends. Use the spray Serie Expert Vitamino Color from L"0réal Professionnel or cream Brass Off from Matrix.
- A sun protection factor is a must if you are outdoors. The sun can turn even the most beautiful hair into dry, dull and dehydrated hair, and on dyed hair the color will fade and wash out more. By the way, technology has stepped forward, and even a hair mask with UV filters will help protect your hair from the sun: for example, UV Défense Active from Kérastase.
- Try to use fragrance-free products: in public transport in the heat, people around you may feel sick, and in the fresh air, fragrances can attract the attention of insects!
Fashionable summer hairstyles for medium and long hair
It can be quite difficult to style long and medium-length hair in the summertime! But fear not—SalonSecret experts have gathered a ton of stylish yet simple options for daily use.
Crown braid
Due to its universal appeal and ease of maintenance, this hairstyle is always in style. It’s also a great choice for special occasions like attending a friend’s wedding or the theater, as well as for an everyday outfit like going to school or university. If you have bangs, this is also a great time to experiment with your hairstyle and get rid of them.
There are two options for you to choose from in the form of step-by-step instructions:
One half of the two braids’ crown
- Comb your hair and part your hair in a straight parting all over your head.
- Braid two braids.
- Take one of the braids and carefully place it above the forehead line or slightly higher, stepping back from the beginning of the parting. Fasten the end of the braid with invisibles approximately where the second braid originates.
- Place the second braid above the first or cross it, securing the end where the first one begins.
- Fix the hairstyle with spray so that the hair does not get disheveled during the day.
2. Circling the loom
- Comb your hair, part it. Secure half of the hair with an elastic band or clip.
- Start braiding at the back or on the side in the usual way, gradually adding strands.
- Move in a circle. When you reach the second part of the hair, release it from the clip and continue adding them to the braid.
- When you reach the end of the circle, continue braiding a regular braid from the remaining hair.
- Secure the end with a thin and tight elastic band. You can leave the braid as is or secure it along the “crown” on your head with a couple of bobby pins.
Ponytail
A tail-shaped hairstyle is always lovely and works especially well during the summer. Additionally, you only need to spend a few minutes, a comb, and a fixation spray to achieve this hairstyle.
A simple everyday ponytail can be effortlessly changed into a glamorous evening hairdo. To finish, simply add a chignon (long hair can skip this step), a smoothing and shining product, and use one of the strands to cover the elastic. You’re ready for the evening!
Long and medium-length hair can look amazing for special occasions or every day when styled in multiple ponytails.
Let’s dissect it in detail.
- Comb your hair and divide it into three or four parts with even horizontal partings.
- Tie the resulting parts into ponytails with thin and tight elastic bands.
- Lower the ponytails down a little and turn them inside out.
- Pass the loose strands under the ponytails.
- You can curl the ends with a curling iron or tongs, or you can leave them like this.
- Fix the hairstyle with hairspray or texturizing spray.
Bun
The easiest hairstyle for any girl to pull off is a bun. However, if you want to avoid looking like a rigid elementary school teacher, incorporate some creativity by braiding your hair in multiple plaits at the back or sides before pulling it all together into a bun. This option can be worn to work or school, or you can create a similar hairstyle for a friend’s summer wedding that takes place on a hot day.
Light hairstyles with weaving
Braids are always lovely and intriguing on long or medium-length hair. You can make high hairstyles (such as the ones mentioned above) or turn the braids into their own focal point.
Here are some gorgeous braided summer hairstyles for long and medium hair that you might want to try:
- Two French braids or spikelets
Summer hairstyles for loose hair
It’s simple to project a delicate, dreamy image that comes from… not doing your hair! Beautiful curls, stylists promise, will soften the image of softness no matter which bow you choose or where you wear it—to a party, a date, or the workplace!
However, loose curls can play a cruel joke on you on a hot summer day: they will irritate at the slightest breeze and constantly get in your eyes. How should one proceed? Any of the hairdos listed below!
- A braid of four or more strands
- Greek styling with a headband
