Summer Hair

I've consigned myself to being unstylish in the summer. I wear a t-shirt and shorts everyday. It's way too hot and humid to wear any extra clothing, and I'm just not into skirts except for Sundays. But, one thing I can have fun with in the summer is my hair. I prefer summer hair to be off my neck, so even a ponytail just isn't going to cut it. Here's a couple of the hairdos I've come up with for summer.

Two dutch braids into a braided bun:
I do the right side on a diagonal so the bun is off center. Then I twist the two braids up into a bun. Secure with booby pins and done.
Here's the style from the front (and a peak at my new glasses):
I've been doing this three mini-bun style for several years now, and I always struggled with it a little. Then I saw that Christina at hairromance.com puts the hair into three little ponytails, and for some reason this was a revelation to me. It's so much easier. I also added a dutch braid on the right side to make the whole thing a little more interesting.

Love the three bun up-do. I'm always looking for a new way to get my hair up off my neck!

You look so cute! I love anything that gets hair out of my face during the summer.

Those are some creative ways to get your hair off your neck. I'm not that creative...so I have stuck with the bun or a high ponytail. :-)

Love it. Thanks for the tutorial since I was asking you about it the other day :) Sorry if we ever wear our hair the same way now :)
