With summer comes heat, and with heat comes untamable hair. Luckily these five hairstyles are great for controlling summer hair while adding a great touch of elegance.

The Headband Braid

At red carpet events, celebrities working headband braids demand for attention. This style braid accomplishes beauty with ease that is especially popular during the summer. Its best counterparts are high-waisted shorts, rompers, and maxi dresses.

The Sock Bun

The sock bun has created a face for itself in 2013. Admired by everyone, they have become a go-to hairstyle for many women. Although this hairdo is accomplished primarily with actual socks, it continues to exuberate classiness while allowing your face to be the focal point of any polished look.

Beach Curls

Beach curls scream summertime! These curls vary from style to style. Some beach curls may be achieved after a long day on the beach, or they can be more stylized for dressier occasions. Curls provide an endless amount of options for hair styling during the summer.

A Hair Bow (literally)

Ever since we were little girls, we loved putting bows in our hair. This cute and fun hairstyle allows your hair to become the accessory for an outfit. Hair and Makeup by Steph gives great instructions on how to complete this style!

Flower Hair Accessories 

This season, flowers are in full bloom all around us, and in our hair! Flower hair accessories work with any hairstyle ranging from short to long and straight to curly. Finding a flower that looks good with your hair color while being proportional in size so that isn’t too distracting from the rest of your outfit is important to make this look fabulous!
