Summer in North Carolina is beautiful yet hot and humid. Throwing your hair up into a ponytail to keep it off your neck presents challenges for maintaining healthy, stylish hair. The heat and humidity necessitate special care to protect your tresses from damage. Tight hairstyles and improper accessories can harm your sun-kissed locks. Here are some non-damaging hairstyles to keep you looking chic during the hot summer days.
Casual Summer Upstyles
Loose Braids
Opt for loose braids to keep your hair off your neck while minimizing damage. This effortlessly chic style helps reduce breakage. For added nourishment, apply a repairing serum like Kerastase's Overnight Serum before braiding.
Soft Bun
A soft, low bun is ideal for staying cool. Instead of tightly twisting your hair, gather it loosely at the nape of your neck and secure it with a soft scrunchie or spin bobby pin. This style prevents tension on your strands and gives you a relaxed look.
Silk or Satin Headbands and Scarves
Silk or satin headbands and scarves are excellent for keeping hair in place while adding a splash of color to your outfit. These materials are gentle on your hair, preventing damage around the hairline. You can also wrap a scarf around a loose bun or ponytail for a stylish twist.
Pineapple Updo
Perfect for curly hair but great for all hair types, the pineapple updo keeps hair off your neck while maintaining the style it went up with. Gather your hair high on your head and secure it loosely with a claw clip. This style reduces frizz and keeps hair looking fresh.
Gentle Ponytails
For a classic ponytail, keep it gentle. Use a fabric scrunchie to avoid snagging your hair. Keep the ponytail low and loose, allowing some strands to fall freely for a relaxed look. This easy style minimizes breakage.
Twisted Updos
For a polished appearance, try a twisted updo. Twist sections of your hair and secure with bobby pins or a claw clip. This versatile style can be as messy or neat as you like, keeping hair away from your face without causing damage.
