In the summer heat, the last thing you want to do is stand in your steamy bathroom blow-drying your hair.  Not only would you rather be outside enjoying the sunshine, but all of your effort seems futile once you step outside & your hair frizzes or curls right up! 

Luckily, summer is the season for cute, blow-dryer-free styles that are as adorable as they are easy.  So put down the blow dryer for the next couple of months & enjoy this gorgeous Maine summer!

• Side Braid – Don’t even attempt to get your bangs perfect on a hot & humid day.  Instead, pull them back in a face-framing side braid.  Everyone from Emily of The Bachelor to Jennifer Aniston has been seen wearing this pretty look.  You can either leave the rest of your hair down or pull it all back in a ponytail or bun.  If your entire head of hair is giving you trouble, pull all of it together into a big side braid – the messier the better! 

 

• Slicked Back - Sometimes all you have time for in the summer is to pull all of your hair back into one big ponytail or bun.  Luckily, this just happens to be a hot summer hair trend!  This look is sleek & sophisticated – perfect for day or night.  Unlike the messy braid, keep this look smooth & fly-away free by applying a smoothing hair product. 

• Beachy Waves – This look is pretty self-explanatory, but it doesn’t require you to actually go to the beach to get it!  (Although a dip in the ocean & salt-water air certainly won’t hurt!).  Summer is the time to show off whatever texture & body your hair has that you’ve been busy blow-drying out.  Stop hiding it & just throw in some product, give it a little shake, and you’ve got yourself a beautiful, carefree & natural look.
