There comes a point every summer when the intense heat of the season forces us to remove our hair from our necks.
The simplest (and chicest!) method to stay cool without sacrificing attractive hair is to wear updos instead of settling for sweaty, sticky hair that sticks to everything. Various styles such as claw-clipped hairdos and dishevelled top knots can be styled to perfection for summertime. Here are five simple summer updos for long hair of various shapes and sizes, along with a list of necessary supplies and equipment.
The flower power Summer Updos
Even though we think genuine flowers nestled behind the ear make a great summertime photo opportunity, you can save your freshly made bouquets with this tiny claw clip style. Start by pulling your hair back into a ponytail in the center of your head. Then, tie your hair up loosely into a bun, leaving a few strands loose to frame your face and to add a carefree touch at the base of your bun.
Use as many little flower clips as necessary to customize your bun according to your preference, taking into account the thickness of your hair. A girl with flowers in her hair, after all, epitomizes the summertime.
The braided claw clip pony Summer Updos
Even though protective hairstyles like braids are essential for summer, there are instances when the heat makes them unwearable. A trendy claw-clip pony quickly cools you down in those humid situations. Gather your hair around the nape of your neck, just as you would without braids. Your hair should be secured against your head with a claw clip after being twisted around many times and brought higher.
However, any claw clip won’t do! An XL braid holder is required to accommodate all of your hair if your braids are thicker. Allow the remaining hair to fall over the clip for a cascading ponytail style.
The tousled top knot
A top knot is always a good choice this time of year, especially for leisurely mornings by the sea and summer strolls. The best thing about this approach is that making mistakes is completely acceptable; in fact, the more clumsy the better. Start with a loose ponytail at the top of your head to achieve this style. To create the illusion of a “knot,” twist your hair until it reaches the end of your ponytail, then wrap it around the base of the ponytail until it runs out completely.
Next, use bobby pins and a hair tie to hold the bun in place. To make the look more messy, start pulling hair out from your head.
The classic curly updo
For curly girls, a classic ponytail updo is always a hit during the summer. To start, pull your hair up into a tight, elegant ponytail at the crown of your head. Then, if necessary, spritz your hair with a curl refresher and fluff it out to achieve the correct shape. If your curls are too long, you can still get a traditional updo style by randomly pinning up sections of your hair.
For a messier look, akin to the top knot style above, you can also choose to pull hairs out around the edges of your face. Touch up your edges to complete the design, and there you have it.
