3 DIY Summer Hair Styles You Can Do Yourself at Home
Summer is here and it’s time to get creative with our hair! If you’re tired of the same old boring hairstyles, then you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, I’m going to share with you 3 DIY summer hairstyles that you can do yourself at home. They’re simple, easy and perfect for any occasion. Let’s get started!
1. The Messy Bun
The messy bun is a classic hairstyle that never goes out of style. It’s perfect for those hot summer days when you want to keep your hair off your neck and out of your face, need a cute poolside style, or heading out to brunch with the girls. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1:
Gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. It is okay if your ponytail is messy- that’s how we want it!
Step 2:
Twist your ponytail to the left and wrap it around the base of the hair tie, creating a bun. Use bobby pins to secure the bun to your head. Pull the bun apart as you pin to your preferred messiness. Keep your face framing pieces out unless you can easily pull them out later.
Step 3:
Use hairspray to keep everything in place. We recommend using a medium hold, anti humidity hairspray.
2. The Fishtail Braid
The fishtail braid is a fun and trendy hairstyle that’s perfect for summer. It’s great for both casual and formal events, and surprisingly it’s easy to do. Here’s how:
Step 1:
Gather your hair into a low ponytail.
Step 2:
Divide your hair into two equal sections.
Step 3:
Take a small piece of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the inside of the right section. Then take a small piece of hair from the outside of the right section and cross it over to the inside of the left section. Continue crossing small pieces of hair over to the opposite section until you reach the end of your hair.
Step 4:
Secure the end with an elastic band. Spray lightly with a texture spray, then “pancake” the braid by pulling the hair on the outsides. This helps to create a bigger braid look. Wear it just like this, or pair with a hat!
3. The Half-Up, Half-Down
The half-up, half-down hairstyle is a classic that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s simple, easy and looks great on everyone. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1:
Gather the top half of your hair and secure it with a hair elastic.
Step 2:
Pull the elastic hair tie down a few inches and create a small opening above it. Flip the ponytail up and pull it through the opening you just created.
Step 3:
Holding the hair you just pulled through straight up, use bobby pins to secure the hair in place against the head. When you lay the hair down normally, it will have a waterfall-like effect over the bobby pins.
Step 4:
Curl the ends of your hair with a curling iron. Different barrel sizes will yield different results! Use whatever size curling iron or wand you’d like.
Step 5:
Finish with a touchable hold hair spray to keep everything in place.
