The summer hair struggle is real: how do you keep your hair out of your face but still look cute?! Luckily, there are so many super easy things you can do with your hair to both keep you cool and still looking good. Today, I want to share three lazy hairstyles that are both easy to accomplish and will keep you cool this summer. (And if you live in a really hot area, I’ll have some tips listed to make them even more friendly for the heat!) Preview the hairstyles below, then watch the video to see how I got the look!

Half Top Knot Hairstyle

This hairstyle is great for many reasons, but mostly because it’s incredibly easy yet looks like you spent a lot longer doing your hair. To accomplish this, start by adding some volume to the roots by spraying some of the Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Spray. Then, just brush out the top layer of your hair, twist, pin, and add a braid cuff from Chloe + Isabel x Jen Atkin to take this look to the next level! My friend Melanie was kind enough to send me this piece from her Chloe + Isabel shop. If you haven’t shopped this collection yet, you really should. From barrettes to hair pins, there’s something for every style. As an added bonus, Melanie just let me know that there’s a big sale going right now, but hurry because it ends on Sunday! Be sure to follow her Facebook page for all the deets, including sale announcements and giveaways. Plus, even if you don’t end up using this as hair jewelry, you can always use the cuff as a bracelet. Multi-purpose and incredibly chic? Winning!
