Summer Do's that Protect Your Locks

So you wanna find summer hair do's that will be fashionable and fun but still protect your lovely locks? First step - use products that condition and protect your hair from the sun. Also try leaving in some conditioner when you go out in the sun. Along with those steps, here are some great summer do's that will impress and protect.

• Keep it simple. It's summer, and everything supposed to be low-key, so let your hair match! Let it air-dry and try natural looking waves or curls. Rather than adding a lot of product and styling to an extreme, go natural and just add hair combs, beads, or other glittery hair accessories to dress it up. Hair freedom is the key here!
• Use good old-fashioned ponytails and braids. You can look very chic or simply playful with a well-used ponytail or braid. Plus, you don't have to style, and it gives your hair a break. It'll keep you cool and get the hair out of your way. Even better, you can let down the braids later for a sexy wave.
• Get a few relaxed curls. If your hair will curl at all, try using a little bit of finishing cream on your wet hair; then use your fingers to create flowing curls/waves with strands of hair.
• Go sleek. If you want to get your hair out of your face, summer is the perfect opportunity to do it. Use a little gel to comb your hair back; if it looks a little wet, it's ok. This is beach season!
• Cover up. Use bandanas, wide elastic hair bands, hats, scarves, and other hair accessories that look cool (for both sexes) and keep your hair safe! Plus, they're hassle-free. Just make sure that you feel comfortable wearing these before you go out all day in one, and stick to materials like cotton that won't conduct heat.
• Try classy. For easy do's that look difficult, try an easy French twist or chignon twist. If you aren't sure how to do them, look online or in a hair magazine... They're relatively easy.
