1. Start with sleek straight hair, using a hair serum to smooth away flyaways (our go-to right now is Chi Tea Tree Oil Tea Tree Serum). Then, brush your hair back into a sleek, smooth high ponytail and secure with an elastic.
2. Next, take your ponytail, and begin to fishtail braid it until you reach the end of the ponytail. Secure with a small (clear) elastic.
3. Take your braid and wrap around itself, tucking the tail in through the bun (snake it through anywhere). Secure with bobby pins, and lock hair in place with hairspray.

For me, clip up the back, pick it out a little, and go!

Nice but not for me.

Good ideas. I agree with the previous comment about the rest of us with curly and frizzy hair.

Great .. for beautiful young things w/long, gorgeous hair. Now, how about for the rest of us? What about our mid-length, frizzy manes left over from Spring?

I actually like the last look the best. My hair would be perfect for this style. I think I'll try it!

I have very straight hair that now is a bit shorter than I would like. The summer means up away from my neck as I have to walk everywhere and that means heat and sticking to me. I have to say, that I have not heard of a salt spray or was it sea. I can say, the sea water does wonders for my skin and hair. I do have a root volumizing spray and will try it this year. I found that when I once got a perm, the hair may have been easier to be off the face. Just don't like the process of chemicals on my hair. The braiding of the hair also will work if your hair is long, it adds body and was a good look if you have time.

I wear this look but I get it with "hot sticks" and shaping spray. I use a freeze it to hold .Lighter if I want it to blow in the breeze.

looks are cute, but in the summer heat, i feel like they all won't hold up. i like the pinned back bangs and the tousled/beachy looks best.
