Every girl loves a good fishtail braid, but you'll be stunning this summer with this chic twist on the braided hairstyle. To create the look:

1. Start by creating a low fishtail braid at the back of your head.
2. Once finished, separate hair at the beginning of your braid, making a slight hole at the base of your head. Grab the tail of your braid (bringing it underneath), and push the tail of the braid up through the hole.
3. Take the tail of your braid (it should look like Alfalfa hair right now), and continuing pulling the braid through the hole, wrapping it around the braid into a bun. Pin hair underneath.
4. For an effortless look, gently tug at the sides of the bun to fan the bun braid. Finish with a medium hold hairspray, and laugh in the face of basic fishtails everywhere.

Class up your ponytail and cool down with this hella easy summer hairstyle. To steal the look:

1. Separate hair into three sections: two in the front and one in the back.
2. Because we love a little va-va-voom, gently tease the top of the back section, spritzing a small amount of hairspray at the roots. Put the back section into a ponytail.
3. Now, transform that boring pony by bringing one of the front sections around the back, and wrapping around the ponytail. Take the second section of hair, and wrap it over the top of the first. Secure with bobby pins.
4. Lock the look in with some flexible hold hairspray (we love Pai-Shau Sublime Hold Hairspray, $29.50).
