Cute Summer Hairstyles Tutorials
Half Ponytail Knot
Instructions:
- Take a 2-inch section of hair from both your left and right sides. If you’d like, you can leave the bangs or sections of the front out.
- Loop the section of hair from the right side under the section on the left, as if you are tying a knot.
- Pull the hair tight, cinching it closer to your head.
- Now, loop the right section under the left again, and pull tightly.
- Take your bobby pins and stick one through the top part of the knot and another through the side. The knot should stay in place and feel secure on your head.
Twist on Ponytail
Instructions:
- Take the top section of your hair and wrap an elastic or hair tie around it to make a half ponytail.
- Now, make a part in the top section of your hair right above the ponytail. You might have to loosen up the elastic in order to part the hair.
- Gather the bottom section of your hair (the part that is not in the ponytail, and pull it up through the middle of the part you just created. So, the ponytail with the elastic is now on the bottom and the loose hair is on the top.
- Tighten the elastic so that everything is pulled together – and tada, you have a quick and easy summer hairstyle!!
Double Braided Ponytail
Instructions:
- Pull all your hair into a ponytail and tie it with an elastic or hair tie. The ponytail should sit in the middle of your head (not too high, not too low).
- Divide the hair coming out of the ponytail into three sections of equal size.
- Now, start braiding the hair until you are about 2/3 from the bottom. Tie another elastic hair tie at the base of the braid.
- To give your hair more “oompf”, lightly pull on the braid to make it larger and thicker.
- Take a small strand of hair and wrap it around the elastic to give your ponytail a more natural look. You can stick the end into the hair tie to keep it in place.
- Continue braiding the bottom part of your ponytail under the elastic. Once you are about 1/3 from the bottom of your hair, take another elastic and tie off the braid.
- There you have one of the cutest summer hairstyles – the double-braided ponytail!
Loose Buns
Instructions:
- Evenly divide your hair into four different sections. This is easier if you first part it down the middle, then split those two parts into two individual sections.
- Take the first section (the one furthest left) and the third section and tie an elastic hair tie around them.
- Now take the fourth section (the one furthest right) and the second section and tie another hair tie around them. You should now have two similar-sized pigtails on both sides of your head.
- Find the middle part in one of the pigtails. Lightly pull open the part until you have a gap. Take the pigtail and pull it through from the top through the gap. Cinch the ponytail tighter to your head.
- Do the same with the other pigtail.
- Divide the loose hair beneath the elastic into three even sections. Start braiding the hair until you are an inch or two from the bottom. Tie off with an elastic.
- Take the braid and pull it through the gap from the top.
- Then wrap the braid around the ponytail until you have a small, braided knot.
- Tuck the loose ends of the hair back into one of the elastic hair ties to keep it in place.
- Repeat the same braiding and pulling with the other pigtail.
Fake Fishtail Braid
Instructions:
- Pull all your hair into a ponytail and tie it with an elastic or hair tie. The ponytail should sit in the middle of your head (not too high, not too low).
- Take a section of hair from the left and the right part of the ponytail. Tie an elastic around them.
- Then, loop the loose hair from those sections through the gap and pull it to tighten.
- Take two more sections from both the left and right parts of the bigger ponytail and tie them off with another elastic. Pull that ponytail through the gap and pull to tighten.
- One more time! Take two more sections from both the left and right parts of the bigger ponytail and tie them off with another elastic. Pull that ponytail through the gap and pull to tighten.
- Now, grab that entire ponytail and tie the whole thing off with one last elastic.
