Hair Hacks For Hot Summer Days

Step one: tie it up.

For those of us with long(ish) hair, the hotter months can be a real spanner in the works. The heat is on and the frizz is set to high. And the last thing you want to do is anything that will eat into your beach time. So, we’ve pulled together a lo-fi guide to summer hair. From the brushed-back look, to the half up, half down, here’s a few little reminders of how to handle that hair of yours.

Tie it up
Chances are, the top know has been your BFF for a while now. The higher, the better, we say. If you don’t have the length to go all the way, go for a half up, half down half look. A low pony is also a super easy go-to. Wear it messy or super slick. The call is yours.

Wash ‘n’ go
If you’re in a low-maintenance kind of mood (us = always), tie your hair up straight out of the shower. If you’re keen on easy-wear waves, knot it in a super loose bun and unfurl later in the day. Or, if you want more of a wave, go for a loose plait instead of the bun. You can do this straight out of the surf too.

Clip ons
This season, we’re loving the all-90s throwback to barrettes and hair clips. They’re the one-stop solution to fixing your fringe and any flyways. They're the pins too pretty to lose. Super sweet with plenty of stay.

The cover up
Or, wrap it up with a head scarf or tuck it up under your favourite hat. We’re loving broad-brimmed straw numbers that Mum would 100% approve of.
