My top 4 hairstyles for the summer

I am like a mammoth. Not in the sense that I am a 20-foot prehistoric creature with thick fur, but I do tend to be very warm throughout the year. Generally, I can wear a t-shirt and a skirt in the snow and not feel too cold-a bit numb, maybe, but not cold (unless it rains). Now imagine a creature like this put in Summer-not good. So here are my top hairstyles to get that hair out of your sweaty face so that bearing the heat might be a bit more bearable.

1-The Alice Style.

Not necessarily making avoid your neck hair-free, but it does keep it off your face in a way that's still quite nice and socially acceptable. Excuse the middle evil picture, I was just trying to show you that I used a normal headband, pushed all my hair back with it and then pulled the hairband towards my face a little, to give the front more volume. I also use this when creating an alice in wonderland character, though I have a more accurate headband for the occasion.

Number 2- The Legolas

Whenever I put my hair back like this, I always think I look like Legolas and the name sort of stuck. This I use when I have a get-my-hair-out-of-my-sweaty-face-before-I-shave-my-hair-off moment. Which, I'll be honest here, happens way too often. With this I just twisted both sides of my hair back, and secured with a bobby pin.

Number 3- The Almost Shave

Do not be alarmed. The look just reminds people of the half shave.....you know, that phase alot of girls went through where they shaved half of their hair to look edgy when in hindsight some of them looked like they had just slipped when trimming their dog. Well, if you did enjoy that look, here is how to remind people of that time whilst remaining shave-free (on your hair).  I just pulled all my hair to one side, did some magical secretive bobby pinning and added a flower and Kim's your Auntie, it's done! This hairstyle not only keeps it off most of your face, but also your neck-I should really be a professional, I might as well be paid for this amazing description and imagination for these hair designs (could not be more sarcastic).

Number 4- The Sassy Fishtail

You've got to love a sassy fishtail. If not for being sassy, for being a pro at keeping everything off your face so you are ready to sweat, knowing you won't feel like you're taking a bath with a hobo's beard. No? Only me? Ok then. I started by putting my hair in a simple high pony, before braiding it to the side in a fishtail braid (if you want to make a fishtail please Google it, you know how bad I am at explaining). I found that as I was plaiting it to the side, the ponytail moved naturally to the side, making it sassy central up there.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my posts, and I'll be back with another post tomorrow for my overnight beauty bag must-haves. See you soon.
