Nine months out of the year, my hair routine is as follows: blow dry with my Dyson Air Wrap, curl with my T3 curling iron, a touch of dry shampoo, rinse, and repeat. But when summer and its gloriously humid 85+ degrees roll around, I refuse to touch a hot tool. Not only does my hard work and effort go to crap the second I step outside, but I also see it as a chance to avoid heat altogether and double down on my hair health journey. I’m not really an air-dry-and-go girl, though, so I rely heavily on summer hair accessories.
My easy hairstyles run the gamut: half-up, half-down styles, slicked-back buns, and simple ponytails. The key to making these classic styles feel fresh and chic (because I wouldn’t have it any other way) is to add on a trendy or timeless finishing touch. My current favorite is a French pin, which is perfect for a night out when I want my hair off my neck. Claw clips are my beach day staple, and pony cuffs are a go-to when I’m camped out in the office or running around the city.
