Great hairstyles! I love the braids and the messy bun style. However, I wish there were also suggestions for girls with short hair.
I love the beachy curls! I wish my hair would do this! I love soft curls, my hair won’t keep any curls.

I love all of these options! I have had long hair for years and I am always putting it in a ponytail or bun. I needed to find new options!
With humidity and fine wavy hair, I have two looks – Medusa and Sunglasses as Headband. Lol. I wish I could do the beach waves and looks like that, my hair just looks stringy though.
These are all really really cute. I definitely need to do more with my hair this Summer instead of just pony tails!
