With the onset of summer comes the heat and humidity. I’ve recently received emails from readers outside of the NY area (we haven’t really had much heat or humidity here yet — believe it or not!) inquiring about suggestions on summer hairstyles.
My best advice is to wear a "pin-up/updo", curly (which I’ll address in part II), braided or twisted hairstyle. These styles will definitely hold up against the heat and humidity, and can usually be worn for 3-4 days at a time.
I loved the “twist” on the bun worn during Phillip Lim’s Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear runway show. The hair was simply parted on the side and swept up into a high ponytail. The loose hair from the ponytail was shaped into a bun and secured with bobby pins and hair spray.
Now I know that this particular bun hairstyle isn’t for everyone but I love how it encourages one to be creative and think outside the box — to have fun with their hair. And because it’s summer and we want you to continue protecting your hair from the sun, chlorinated or salt water, we’re giving away more summer haircare protection.
