We’re
enjoying the sunshine at HeadKandy HQ today, so we thought this was the
perfect opportunity to share our favourite summer hairstyles with you.
Keep reading for inspiration for styling your hair this summer.
Ponytails
and braids are both perfect choices for summer hairstyles and they are
both bang-on-trend too! They’re great styles for keeping your hair off
your face and for keeping you cool in the warmer months.
We’re
keeping it simple with the super high ponytail as our first summer
hairstyle; this look is easy to achieve and has been super popular in
the celeb world, so you certainly won’t be compromising on style with
this look. We love the super high ponytail when it’s worn UBER long, so
clipping in your 20-22” or 24-26” hair extensions first would give you a
real statement finish. Wear this ponytail up high on the crown of your
hair and wear it poker straight. This style looks amazing worn super
sleek, but a straight cut fringe also complements it really well. :)
Next
up, we’re taking inspiration from our recent braid hair tutorials with
the gorgeous upside down french braided bun; we love this summer
hairstyle as it incorporates both the braid and the bun, which are two
of this year’s hottest hair trends. If you’ve got the french braiding
technique down to a tee then this should be super easy for you to
create, but the finished style looks far more intricate (no one needs to
know how simple it was … it can be our little secret!) If you’re a
little unsure on creating this style, then pop over to our upside down
french braided bun tutorial to follow our steps. :)
If
the braided bun isn’t your thing then you could give the fishtail braid
a whirl instead; the popularity of the fishtail braid has continued to
grow and we can definitely see why! It’s constantly popping up on the
red carpet and on runways all over the world. We
think this is a great summer hairstyle and it’s a great festival look
too; we LOVE this look when it’s worn to the side and over one shoulder.
Fit your hair extensions before creating your fishtail braid to add gorgeous thickness and length to really set this style off.
Finally,
if you’re looking for a down ‘do, we have the ever popular boho waves.
Boho waves are a staple summer hairstyle and you’ll see crowds of girls
sporting this look during the warmer months. This style is carefree, but
still fabulously on-trend. We recommend styling your hair and your hair
extensions with a Babyliss Conical Wand to create your boho waves …
tousle your waves so they’re not too defined … we’re going for that
beachy effect remember. ;) If you want to add more texture then braid or
plait a few sections of your hair and pin them to the back of your head
… braids and plaits work oh-so-well with boho waves, so give this a go.
So, there you
have our favourite summer hairstyles, but we want to hear all about your
favourites. Would you pick one of our fave styles or do you have one of
your own? Tell us in the comments box or pop along to our Facebook page
