The month of May is here, the question is, “How will I put up my hair to get away from the heat?” This summer’s hair trends are fun, funky, and the perfect up-do for shopping, a night out with friends, the beach or date night.
1. The perfect tousled topknot bun worn by celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, this hairstyle is easy, and pairs up lovely with a cocktail dress for your night out with friends, or even attending a wedding event.
How to get the look: Take unwashed hair, brush into ponytail, and put in band towards the top of the head, right above the level of the ears. Twist the hair into a bun, secure, loosen up the bun by pulling from the middle, and out, then secure with pins. If you do not have the length of hair for creating this cute up-do, no worries, check out the Twirl in Messy Hair bun on buyhair.co.uk and get this celebrity style with a pre-made hair bun.
2. Going shopping? Do not just throw your hair up into a ponytail without any style. Take the front section of your hair and create a side twist. This easy up-do is fun for shopping, heading out to a casual gathering, or celebrating a family or friend’s graduation.

How to get the look: Part hair and leave out a portion of the top section, secure the remainder of the hair into a ponytail at the middle of the back of your head. Now take loose section of hair and twist into a side swoop, secure to ponytail using pins, take a small section from the underneath of the ponytail and wrap around to hide the elastic band and pin into place.
3. Heading out to a casual event or a day at the beach, then turn to the messy loose bun at the neckline. This overall up-do is a classic and looks good at just about every event it is worn. Works well with jeans, party dress, or even an evening gown.
How to get the look: Pull the hair back into a ponytail at the base of the neck and secure with an elastic ban. You can either twist the hair or secure with another band, or you can take section from the ponytail twist around the top of the ponytail using pins to keep in place. At the crown of the head, put fingers into the hair and pull forward to get a loose look in the front.
4. For a more formal affair, take it back to the Renaissance, braided hair bands, or crown braids always give off a natural regal impression. The crown braid can be done with the hair pulled back into a bun, ponytail, or left loose.
How to get the look: This one is simple, section off the front of the hair, and pull back the rest out of the way until braid is finished. You could take several sections of the loose hair and create several small braids, tie off the ends with clear plastic bands and pin into hair. The other option is to French braid the front section starting from the left and working towards the right, secure it to the ponytail or bun up-do, which ever you decide on.
With summer’s hot weather right around the corner, take advantage of these fun, easy, yet stylish up-do’s that take little time to create. They are even easier to create, especially when you can purchase hair accessories, like a twisted messy bun or braided hair headband. Hair is a part of first impression, and if you have long hair, it is often easier to place it into a plain ponytail and head out the door. Do not give into this temptation, head out the door always looking your best with these simple hair ideas.
