Fresh, Sexy, and Modern Hair is Just as Fashionable as Clothes
Hair is just as important as what your outfits look like this summer. When it comes to styles it's hard picking what fits for your hair texture but these styles can be used with curly, frizzy, straight, and wavy hair. These styles aren't just for one certain texture of hair, luckily we have so many products and tools that anyone can have their hairstyle dream. What do you think of this summer hair fads?
All About Braids
I know when people think of braids it brings them back to slumber party days when everyone sat around braiding each other's hair but not in this case they're back in a sexy, modern design. They're hip and can be very attractive on many faces. Just a few style of braids are the double twist, single twist, twisted front, and braided bun. They have been scene on actresses like Lauren Conrad, Jessica Alba, Nicky Hilton, Kate Hudson, Isla Fisher and just recently Jennifer Aniston. All hair can be worn curly, straight or wavy to add drama.
The Double Twist Braid 
* Get the Look- Always start with damp hair it lays better afterward. Add a styling cream which adds texture, I like L'Oreal Vive Pro Glossy Style Smooth Gloss Anti-Frizz Cream ($4.99) http://www.drugstore.com/
-Part Hair from Center
-Pull from above the ear braid backward and pin, let remaining hair lay partly wavy.
-Spray with small amount of hairspray for hold.
The Single Braid this can be worn with a curly or wavy finish but I prefer it being straight, it gives it a classic look.
*Get the Look- Always start with wet hair to make it as smooth and straight as possible I like using Bed Head TIGI Control Freak Extra Extra Straight Hair Straightener ($16.50) http://www.drugstore.com/
-Straighten all hair first
-Pull hair back from one side (left or right) and braid until lays flat with natural hair.
-You can also pull hair slightly back and braid to add more curvature and drama especially if worn at night.
-Spray with strong holding hairspray to finish.
The Twisted French Front Braid we saw it recently on Jennifer Aniston at the 2009 Oscars and once again everyone wants her latest style.
* Get the Look it's actually very simple, if you follow the same steps previously for prep all you have to do is:
-Part hair to one side.
-Take a strand of hair from the front, braid and tuck under remaining hair.
-Tease the rest as desired.
The Braided Bun has become extremely popular with celebrities and adds definition to a single bun, it can be worn with a cocktail dress, evening gown, work outfit or out for the afternoon with friends. It's universal, stylish and can be any accessory.
The Natural look is simple and makes your face stand out, it can be classic, elegant, casual or dressy. Looks best with people who have bangs because they make the look pop.
*Get the Look
-Comb out hair and if desired use a flat iron to straighten out any messy pieces.
-Use a shine cream to make it pop, I recommend Citre Shine Shine Anit-Frizz Serum ($6.89) www.drugstore.com
-Naturally pull back and tie with an elastic, letting bangs drop naturally in your face.
The Curled style is one of my favorites, when you do a ponytail you can add curls just to the tail part, and leave top part wavy or straight. It adds texture to a natural look.
*Get the Look
-Pull hair back into a ponytail, low or natural height.
-Use a curling iron and pull strands from the ponytail and curl, I recommend big curls and not tight ones. You can also use wide Velcro curlers if your in a rush.
-Pull curlers or curling iron out and brush.
-Use hairspray for extra hold.
The Voluminous look is sultry and sexy it adds height to any flat hair. It's becoming sexier and dramatized in photo shoots, the red carpet or an evening out with the girls. If your hair is naturally curly just leave the back curly.
*Get the Look
-It's all about the texture, it's important to create volume even if there isn't any I suggest using TRESemme Volumizing Mousse ($4.99) http://www.drugstore.com/
-Pull hair back into a pony tail with hands, you don't need a brush.
-Pull out from top ponytail until it becomes puffy and slick back the sides.
Each style is very easy to design. With all these styles you need to blow-dry hair smooth, tilt your head back and brush into a ponytail. Tie with elastic and cover elastic with one inch strand of hair, tucking it in afterward. Very simple for such a classic hairstyle.
These styles are the hottest of the season and will look great with any outfit, I'd like to hear what everyone thinks, is it something to gossip about or we've seen it way too much, let me know.

*Get the Look it's very simple and takes ten minutes to do.
-Part two strands of hair in front and braid to each
side.
-Take remainder hair, brush back and pull each strand of braids to intertwine all together.
-Grab an elastic and form into a ball making sure the braids are evenly level on both sides.
-Leave strands lose on top.
-Lightly spray hairspray for a hold.
If you don't know how to braid or aren't in the mood but want the look, they have the fake look alike headbands that are already braided for you. When using them make sure you wear them right behind the hair line.
All About Ponytails
This style is elegant and can be worn casually or fashionably chic. I especially love Ponytail's because you can throw them up going to class, work, a hot date, or breakfast with your family. Multiple styles are natural, curled, voluminous, high, mid-length, and low. So many to chose from, great for each day of the week.

The High, Low, and Mid length Ponytails are a time classic. The key to this style is having no bumps.
