Simple Summer Hair Styles

Most girls go for an easy ponytail for their summer style on a day to day basis. I have several styles for you to easily do! Two are for keeping cool and the other two are for a fancier look! These hair styles are fast and easy for a lovely style of hair! The wonderful assistant that I will be working with is a girl named Emmy. Her hair is on the longer side which made it easier to do the styles but anything about shoulder length and longer is good.
The first style is called The Flip. Doing The Flip is really easy.
First, start with a ponytail, either low or mid-way.

 Now, put your finger on your scalp. Then pierce a hole through the hair so the rest of the ponytail is able to fit through.

While keeping the fingers that are in the hair in place, use the other hand to take the ponytail and put it through the hole. Take the fingers that are holding the hair in place away so the ponytail can get through. Pull it all the way through and there will be a sloppy twist.
Finally, tighten the ponytail and viola! You have a stylish ponytail in only a matter of seconds!

To fancy up the pony, put a decorative hair-tie!

The next hair style is one commonly known, but is a great summer style! It is a side braid. I know many people know how to braid but, I'll explain it anyway.
First, pull all the hair to one desired side and divide into three sections.

Take the back-most section and put it over the center one.

When putting the front-most section over the other two, continue to hold the smallest section so there is not  a giant bump or so it doesn't fall apart.

Continue to take the end pieces and put them in the middle over and over again until you reach the end of the braid. Then secure with a hair-tie. Now you have a pretty braid to spend the day with!

If there are any questions on braiding please email me and I will tell you how to do it! Now for the fancier styles! This style is extremely pretty but not many girls know how to do it. Here is your tutorial on how to a... Waterfall Braid!
It's simpler than it looks!
First grab the front section of your hair and pull it back.
Now take a small section next to it, bring it over the first section, and leave it alone.
Then, take a small section from underneath it and bring it over the piece that should be left alone. Now the braid should look like this:
Repeat these steps until you feel the braid is long enough. After you mad your last "waterfall" Take a small piece from underneath it, like before, to secure it.
Add a clip and you're done!
The final hairstyle I have to share is really cool but I don't know what it's name should be! I'll just cal it a Swirly Braid for right now!
First, take a small section of your hair and braid it. Don't do it too tight!
Hold the center part of the braid and take the other two. Hold them together and push the braid up while still holding the middle piece in place. Once the braid is all scrunched up, it will look like this:
Pull the braid down a bit and you will have this:
Clip it in place and you have a unique braid! Yay!

 Here is a tip for knotty hair: there is this product called Infusium. It makes hair smooth, helps de-tangle it, and helps prevent split ends! Plus, it smells real good! Look out for this awesome product! It works on wet or dry hair! Absolutely fabulous!
That's all for today! Until next time,
Be bold, bright, and gorgeous!
