Let's see your summer styles!!!

[Vshanell]

Post your favorite summer hairstyles here!! I think we all could use some inspiration.

I do very simple styles so I don't know if mine would even qualify as a "hairstyle", lol. I'm wearing my hair natural this summer. It won't stay straight because of humidity and plus I want to give it a rest. Let's see yours!

Here are mines This is a good thread.

I am not doing much with my hair yet except phony ponies and indian braids but here they are.

Side view

Then I do the baggie method with a phony pony! I am going to order the afro puff pony, which I am sooo excited for

 

[Vshanell]

That is so cute Mizani!! Now that's my kinda style, simple and cute. Thanks for posting!

This is a pic of my braids from last summer, I have the same braids in again right now, but with cheaper hair that I don't like as much. It looks the same but the hair is braided down a lot further now because my hair has grown a lot. The braids are also a lot longer for the same reason.

Thankyou. I can't wait to get my afro pony so I can have my pony look like yours. Your hair is gorgeous and it looks so neat and put together. I am new to this no heat thing so I am still trying.

I hope others post so i can get more style ideas.

Here they are. I need a few more.

Rabia I love those braids. I sweat a lot around the neck area so those wouldn't work for me. But you are rocking them.

BabyImaStarr,

Is that second pic a wash and go??? It is so lovely!!!!

Thanks! It's a braidout. I was really proud of it until the humidity got to it

I usually have them twisted up in a cute style with a claw clip (that's how I have it styled today). The curls at the ends allow you to do a variety of messy updos that look cute. I love messy big hair, especially in the summer!

And BabyImaStarr, cute styles!

Don't you just hate humidity sometimes? Those are very cute styles, very summery. I think I will try a braid-out soon. I don't have much luck with them though, they usually last a day or two. Did you use any products before you braided?

focusing on "no heat" styles for the summer





how i air dry






i don't know why the pics are so blurry. these styles are definitely nothing to write home about but quick doos with no heat to get me through the summer. with working out and washing frequently it's hard to be perfect. .

Thank you so much . Yeah, I'm kinda new to no heat also. Like I said in my other post.....I have yet to master the braid-out. I love a pretty braid-out though. I will be trying again soon.

Wow, SweetCaramel.....pretty waves! I love the half up half down one. I might try air-drying like that. Do you re-braid at night?

That looks so pretty on you. I love the curls on the ends. I bet that's so pretty in a pony tail.

thanks pokahontas. i actually let it dry with the ponytail holders on it and they create the waves. at night i just sleep on it and start over with something different the next day. i'm new to co-washing/air dryings so i don't have a routine yet.

I used some Wet-N-Wavy gel that I found in my product stash. First I applied the gel, then I braided it up, then rolled my hair braids on magnetic rollers so that it wouldn't be too flat in the morning and that is how it turned out.

 

[mscounselor]

macherieamour,
Thanks for those styles...Im going to try them before I have a job to see how they turn out in the morning with 4" of new growth.

Keep it coming ladies....Summer has just begun...well its been here for me seeing as though its always summer in Florida

Oh ok, so you just left the bands on. Yeah, that's how I air-dry my hair sometimes but in 2 ponytails w/ the bands going all the way down.

I attached some pics of how it came out.

Kini, that style is the bomb. I tried to have someone duplicate and they told me it was "too complicated" WTH!

 

[KiniKakes]

Oooooh, CUTE girl.... really cute. But Im afraid i'd be paranoid of my ends rubbing against my shirt.

Plus, when i wear my hair out i'm always putting my hands in it and messing in it. *smh* I have like, negative self-control. But i will experiment with a braid out one of these days. It just looks so nice.

Sometimes I do the braid out just so I can have a nice crinkly or wavy pony

I dont really like my hair up too much, Those braids you have I have bad luck every time I got them done I get these bumps around my temples man.. I got them done when I was 5 months pregnant and took em out a week later

Very pretty pics of you though!!!

Thanks so much girl. Awww, it seemed simple when the African lady did it. I didnt look at a book or anything... I just described to her that I wanted (small) cornrows braided up all around, and formed into a bun/knot at the top of my head that I didnt plan on removing. She used kinky hair extensions, and hair pins to secure the top knot.

Gracias chica.

Yeah, i get the bumps around the temples the first few days. I assume because its tight (but not too tight that it pulls/breaks my hair like Susan Taylor). Either way, the bumps go away after a few days and its all good. Dont worry, i feel you tho.... ive been tempted to take braids out after a few days, but im too cheap to do that. I paid $70 for the braids, so i wanted to get my moneys worth, hence the 5 weeks. I would have gone 6 weeks but my July 7th progress pics are coming up, and i wanted to take these out and relax my hair before that time.

Nice hair..what kind of braiding hair is that? Can I get it online? Thanks
