Hair by Summer Sanders
Summer begs for hairstyles that are fuss-free, chic and long-lasting, because let’s face it, in this southern heat and humidity, your blowouts or carefully curled tendrils are falling flat in a matter of seconds. That’s why braids are our favorite style for summer.
We love braids because no matter what type of hair you have, there’s a braid with your name on it. They’re (relatively) easy to do, can be worn casually or in a more formal manner, and well, they’re just really cute. Here’s a few summer braid ideas that will help tame your mane and keep you cool.
NOT-YOUR-KINDERGARTEN PIGTAILS
Hair by Summer Sanders
Pigtails are a lifesaver when it comes to still summer hairstyles. They keep hair off the neck and out of your face without actually having to put it up. The style shown above are fishtail braids pinched into three sections for a cool, multi-texture feel for pigtails that are more Coachella and less little girl.
HALF-UP-HALF-DOWN BRAID

If you need a style to rock at your summer event, but you know the humidity will affect it, go for a half-up-half-down style. That way the more texture your hair develops, the more of a boho, effortless feel this style will have.
BOXER BRAIDS

Sporty, fun and versatile. Boxer braids can easily transfer from gym over to cocktails without missing a beat. They keep hair away from your face and neck, and usually last all day.
