Summer Hair Ideas

With temperatures soaring it's time to put the blow dryer away and find easy care hairstyles. Lately, I have been finding the cutest accessories that help me manage my long unruly hair. I can create a quick updo or a pinned back girly look or even a cutesy headband or two. Also, don't rule out a scarf they get you through on the days your roots need a touch up or maybe even a dry shampoo day. Here are a few pics of my favorite looks and a few tools that help get the job done. Many of these items can be found online at amazon.com or at your local pharmacy or Target and Wal Mart store.

Emi-Jay hair ties help hold an easy ponytail or tie up the ends of braided hair. They are soft and don't dent your hair which is perfect if you want to let it all down and show off your locks at night.

Goody Ouchless headbands. Goody bands are getting trendy. I love the style to the left. Its so feminine and chic.  Pair it with an updo or let your hair loose either look is easy and put together.

For updo's I love the Goody modern Updo pin. It's a staple in my must have purse kit. With a quick twist I have my hair up and off my shoulders and ready for an afternoon meeting.

For a romantic look opt for a scarf. A scarf is a great way to hide any roots that may need a touch up or if you are in between washes. It really perks up and outfit and looks fresh modern and cool.

Use braids as an accessory. Braids have been trendy for the past couple of years and continue to be in style due to their flexibility. Once you unbraid your hair you have soft sexy beach waves that are all the rage. Here are a few ideas to get started. You can do a traditional three section braid or also try a two section braid for a different look.

In a real hurry do a quick pin back. Bobby pins are your best friend this summer. Grab a handful and get creative.
