Prefer to wear your hair down but want the layers off your face? Instead of automatically pinning then back, try a different approach. Part front layers into a deep side part and tease to create volume. It has a vintage vibe, frames the face and there's no need to stress about sweaty, piecey bangs.

Undone Bun
Take a leaf out of Meghan Markle's beauty book and try an undone bun when duty calls. This effortless runway version is parted in the center with the ends loosely twisted in the back. If a few layers come out throughout the day, it's fine.

Half-Up, Half-Down
Half-up, half-down hairstyles fight frizz without having to saturate hair with product. Keep the look fresh by tweaking the part and experimenting with volume. Take inspiration from this half updo which swoops side-parted hair into a retro style with a bit of volume. It earns major style points, plus it's formal enough for work.

Ballerina Bun
A ballerina bun is an office-appropriate summer hairstyle that won't let you down. The gravity-defying, twisted nature of top knots can sometimes be too casual in an office but not the ballerina bun. Keep it chic by avoiding hair-nets of any kind and by smoothing down errant baby hairs. Pro tip: Run an old toothbrush that has been misted with a bit of hairspray over front layers for a sleek finish.

Leave It Loose
Keep strands off your hot neck by parting hair down the center and gathering the ends into a loose twist. Gently encourage shorter pieces to come out so they can frame the face. Pair the hairstyle with a collared shirt and possibly a statement necklace and you've mastered summer work style.
