Hairstyles- The Summer Braid

When it's hot and gross outside, one of the best ways to battle the heat is with a great braid! A good braid is especially necessary for a day at the beach or pool. It keeps you cool, plus when you get out of the water you don't have to worry about how your hair looks! Braids are also great add-ins for the classic summer pony.

Here are just a few of my favorites:

Kendall Jenner rocking the side fishtail.

A low side braid is a great way to go. Just a regular braid works great if you don't know how to or have hair long enough for a fishtail. Side braids are great for beginners because you can see what you are doing.

Small braid with messy pony.

This messy pony gets a bit of glam added with a mini braid. Perfect for poolside.

Sarah Michelle-Gellar

A dutch braid on both sides with a messy bun at the back guarantees cuteness (and hold) all day!
