Summer is in the air and what perfect time to be a girl. It is indeed true that our crowning glory defines our face and to experiment with different hairstyles (and make up)to find what works best for us is exciting. Throughout history there have been certain hairstyles that made their marked and are continued to be copied today. Think of Cleopatra’s blunt bangs or Twiggy’s Pixie look.
This summer, don’t be afraid to go long. Just remember to wash your hair regularly to fight off the humidity and dirt. You can go for big waves or a sleek ponytail. You can also try for soft waves where the tips of your hair are curled loosely. If you don’t want a sleek pony, tease your hair and back comb it before you hold it in its place. Try the Fish Tail braid to look effortless and to keep your hair out of your face. Summer is also the perfect time to get a pixie. Just remember to put hair wax to control the waves on your hair. You can also accessorize your crowning glory to go for a boho chic look. Placed beads, flowers, or wear a wide brimmed hat to cool down the summer heat.
