Top 10 Best Hair Ideas for Summer 2015Start growing out your bobs and lobs because long hair is back and it's cooler than ever. Catch up on the favorite trends for the Summer 2015.   

Boho Waves: Let carefree, barely-there waves cascade onto your sheer dress this spring. To get the style, create a center part. Take a 1� vertical section and mist CHI Style & Stay Spray prior to curling. Curl section using the 1� CHI ARC Rotating Curling Iron, directing the hair back and away from the face and leaving out the ends for an undone wavy look. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the entire head is curled. Flip head over and break up the curls by combing your fingers through the hair. Finish the effortless look by misting the hair with CHI Shine Infusion for a lightweight polish.

  

Low Chignon: A fancy French term for bun�and they're perfect for bad hair days and last-minute updo's. This look is ideal for ultra formal events and requires no more than a hairbrush and comb, volumizer, ponytail holder, bobby pins and hair spray. To get the pretty loop, draw a center part and clip aside a one-inch chunk of hair from each side of the hairline. Gather the rest in a low ponytail at the nape and roll (rather than twist) it up toward the base, pinning it against the head. Then pull each of the front pieces back around the loop, pinning them into place. Finish with a generous dose of glossy shine spray.



Bouncy Ponytail:  To create a ponytail for a major bash, rake a dollop of volumizing mousse or gel through damp hair, then blow-dry with a round brush. Set your hair in hot rollers, to add tons of body. Wait until all the rollers have cooled before removing them. (If you don't have time to set all your hair, you can make the ponytail first and then use two or three rollers to curl just the tail.) Gather your hair back so there's no part and secure it in a ponytail right below the little bump in the center of the back of your head. Take a small section of hair from the underside of the ponytail, wrap it around the base so it covers the elastic, and pin the ends under the tail. Rub a pea-size drop of serum between your palms, then smooth them over the front of your hair from the hairline back to calm fly-aways and add healthy-looking sheen.  


Top 10 Best Hair Ideas for Summer 2015Tousled Topknot: The topknot of 2015 is cool, textured, and not even close to prissy. To get it, work mousse through damp hair and really rough-dry it, embracing whatever gorgeous natural texture you've got. Once dry, use your fingers (not a brush) to sweep the hair up to the crown, tie it in a ponytail with an elastic, then loosely rope it around the base and secure it in place with bobby pins. Massage your hairline with your fingers to loosen some pieces for an effortless finish. 

Woven Braid: A very long scarf can get you this hairstyle. Place the scarf a half-inch back from your hairline and tie it securely at your nape. Divide all your hair into three sections (two small outer sections and one large center section). Put the ends of the scarf in the outside sections, then braid all the hair together very tightly until you reach the ends. Double-knot the scarf and you're out the door.



Slicked Back: Short on time, opt for this easiest, neatest way to pull back your hair (and deal with growing-out bangs). Grab a chunk of hair from the front of your hairline�about one inch deep and as wide as space between your eyebrow arches. Mist it with hair spray, then brush it straight back as far as it will go. Secure it with a clear elastic (if it's past the crown) Flatiron the loose sides of your hair for a smooth finish and mist with shine spray if necessary.

Faux Undercut: To create this cool style, make a deep side part, and follow it all the way down to the nape of the neck. Clip all the other hair out of the way. Brush the side with less hair back and secure it very tightly with a clear elastic under the other section. (You can also French-braid it, cornrow it, twist it, or Bop It.) Now, unclip the other side and scrunch a handful of strong-hold mousse into it from roots to ends. Blow-dry the hair (even though it's dry) while pulling the hair upward with a round brush for the most dramatic volume.

 

Top 10 Best Hair Ideas for Summer 2015Pinup-Girl Pigtails:  This hairstyle is meant to be messy, so it's hard for you to mess it up. First off, wrap your hair around a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron to set the foundation for soft hair with bend and movement. Once you finish, tease the hair at the top and back of the head (roots to midlength) until it looks like cotton candy. Tie the hair in two low pigtails, braid the tails, and secure them with a second set of elastics. Then mist it all with hair spray.

 

Faux Bangs: For an instant change with zero commitment, try clip-in bangs. You'll need a quality piece made from real hair and your stylist to help you cut them and match the color, if necessary. After parting the hair, tease the roots and spritz them with hair spray, then slide the piece underneath and snap it in. Feather the bangs out over the forehead and brush your own hair over the top so they look seamless.

 

 

 

Undone Updo: Blow-drying the hair with a small and medium round brush for a natural wave. Then swoop (blown out with a big round brush, then tucked behind the ear). And knot (first secured in a ponytail, then messily twisted around the base and pinned inch by inch with Goody bobby pins).

Transform your look in 2015 by trying one (or all) of these cool hairstyle ideas.
