Fashionable Summer Hairstyle Side Braid

By Taylor Pineda

The heat is impossible to avoid in Arizona, especially if you have long dark hair.  It serves as a magnet to the sun. It is not always convenient to cut your hair shorter for the summer or do a timely up-due, but braids neither are too time consuming or require you to cut any hair off and you will still look great. Below is how to get a summer style that not only looks classy but sexy.

Start by parting your hair to the side. On the deep side, use an anti-frizz hair serum for an evening sleek look. Do not use the serum if you want more of a beach look.

Grab the front portion of the heavier portion of the hair and split in to three sections. Then you can start braiding the hair down the side; bring the braid closer around the face and around the nape at the bottom of the hair. Grab the end piece of the hair braid and secure it with an elastic band.

The end result can leave your hair up for the warmer weather as well as have you looking very fashionable. To formalize the look even more, you can add textured curls to the excess hair at the end of the braid.
