Few things are less sexy -- or downright uncomfortable -- than a mass of hair stuck to your sweaty neck and face.
We've all been there. During the warmer season, keeping cool is nearly impossible if your hair isn't up and out of your face. Just as hemlines get shorter and sleeves disappear, bobs and tousled updos replace long and loose hairstyles.
That's not to say we don't adore beachy waves. But unless there's a refreshing ocean breeze blowing on that perfect boho hairstyle, it's going to melt -- fast. So what do we do? We turn to our tried-and-true updos: the ponytail, the topknot, the (bo-ring) styles we wore last season.
To shake things up, we called the trendiest stylists we know for their picks of the newest (and chicest) celebrity updos and easiest-to-DIY Pinterest picks. If you're bored of the same-old updos you always turn to, read on. These summer hairstyles of 2012 will have you hoping for an unbearably hot day.
There were a bit too many braid styles in here for me, but overall I love these hair ideas. It is always challenging to keep your hair off your neck in a creative and pretty way. It's nice to get some inspiration.
Seriously, the article would be more appropriately titled if it said something like "best hair styles for people with straight, blonde hair," because it certainly doesn't help the rest of us.
the sock bun is amazingly easy and you dont actually have to use a sock you can use a hair donut. they are sold online at www.prettybunsboutique.com. .. easier and more perfect than a sock xoxo
I love sock buns because they really work for any hair length! Seriously, my hair comes right above the tops of my shoulders and I rock sock buns like no other. You don't use the method said in the slideshow. There are plenty of youtubers that explain it for short -haired gals!
Most of these would be difficult to do with all the layers I have in my hair but they are really pretty ideas, I have done a sock bun and it looks really good!
Love wearing my hair up in the Florida summertime! The only one that was a bit much was the french braid ponytail. The french braid topknot is gorgeous!
