Summer hair can be challenging. The slightest bit of humidity can leave some heads looking like a Brillo pad and others flat and lifeless. The perfect tousled beach look can never quite be replicated. There are wonderful products out on the market and they do help some, but only the sea can yield the perfect balance or wavy and full that is neither frizzy or limp. So unless you live on the beach we have found some great ideas to keep your medium to long hair looking cool and stylish. Tossing your hair up is always a winning idea. A simple up-do can be casual and elegant - this style can easily transition from pool or beach to evening soiree. Long wavy layers pulled back with clips, into braids or with a scarf are casual and easy. For those really stubborn hair days we love the look of over-sized straw hats that go perfectly with a beach cover-up, jeans and shirt, sundress or cocktail dress. We also love hair or head scarves. Tie them into a ponytail or bun, wear them as a head-wrap or headband and you have a stylish solution to keeping cool, casual and elegant. You never have to have a bad hair day ever again!
