What's better than a braided updo that looks hella fly and keeps us cool in the 90-degree heat? Not much, but we'd take a cabana boy. To get the look:

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.

This messy yet chic updo makes for a great date-night hairstyle and is incredibly easy to create. To rock the look:

1. Start by making a high half-pony at the top of your head (don't secure), separating your hair into two sections. Take one of the sections and begin to wrap around the other, until you get to the end of the strand.
2. Next, slide the twisted strand up the piece of hair, making a mini messy bun in the middle. Tuck the tail under the bun and secure with bobby pins.
3. Repeat steps one and two, two more times, grabbing hair from the sides of your head as you go down, rather than creating a half pony -- spritzing hairspray as you go.
4. Once you've created three messy buns, gently tug at each, fanning out the strands for a more playful look. Rawr.

This alluring summer hairstyle is one of the simplest to recreate, and it guarantees your neck freedom from sweltering heat. Steal the style:

1. Separate hair into three sections -- one at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom. Put each of the sections into a ponytail, leaving a small amount of space between your scalp and the base of the loose pony. Make sure each of your ponytails are directly over each other.
2. Next, take your finger and create a small space at the base of your top ponytail and your head. Then take your ponytail and flip it up and over into the space, creating a topsy-turvy ponytail. Flip the ponytail up and over again, and snake the remaining cascading hair down into the space of the ponytail directly below.
3. Continue step two for the remainder of the ponytails. Grab some hairspray and debut your new 'do.

On hot summer days, simplicity is key. To create the ultra chic hairstyle:

1. Start with day-old hair. Spray some texture spray into strands to give it more grip. We love the Prive Finishing Texture Spray, $30. Make a low pony, securing with a small elastic. Gently tug at hair at the top of your head for the more playful look.
2. Take the pony, and braid hair twice -- creating a very short braid. Secure the abrupt braid with a small elastic.
3. Spritz the hairstyle with a shine spray and rock that understated 'do.

You know those really hot summer days when it's hard to care what your hair looks like (but you still do)? Well this lazy look might be supersimple but it's still sexy AF. Here's how to steal the style:

1. Assuming you have day-old hair, spritz a bit of dry shampoo at the roots and put your hair into a high ponytail.
2. Taking small bristle brush, gently back comb your ponytail for a more ratty texture at the base of the pony.
3. Take the ponytail and wrap it around your hand at the top of your head. Once wrapped all the way around, push the right side of the makeshift bun down at the top of your head, and secure it with a couple bobby pins.
4.Grab the other side of the bun and pull hair towards the gap of the bun, covering it and securing strands with bobby pins.
5. For a sexy tousled look, gently tug at strands in the bun and create a more messy texture.
6. Spritz that hairspray and jaunt about the town lady.
