Summer style # 3. SEASIDE CHIC: EASY-BREEZY UPDO
Try this if your hair reaches your upper back.
Get the Look in 3 Simple Steps:
- Generously spritz dry hair with a flexible-hold hairspray.
- Pull hair straight back and gather at nape of neck.
- Twist the section in your hands up toward your crown and secure twist to head with bobby pins. (To better hold thicker hair in place, crisscross bobby pins, forming an "X".)

Summer style # 4. SUMMER SOPHISTICATE: LOW-LYING TWIRLED BUN
Try this if your hair is shoulder-length or longer.
Get the Look in 4 Simple Steps:
- Lightly blow dry hair on low heat; generously spritz on flexible-hold hairspray.
- Run fingers through hair in a rake-like motion, separating it into 8 sections as you gather it at nape of neck.
- Take bottom right section (between thumb and index finger) in hand, releasing the rest. Loosely twirl hair; wrap twirled hair around in a curl-like circle and secure with bobby pin.
- Repeat until all sections are pinned at nape of neck in a loose bun. Let hair wisps surround face to soften the look.
