Hair styling: Couture braids and bubble ponytails make summer beautiful

Natural summer hairstyles are popular on hot days. Here are a few tricks to really enjoy summer with long hair.

Women with long hair do not have it easy in summer, because on hot days it can get quite warm under the mane. A problem that can be easily solved with a conventional bun or ponytail, but in the long run these hairstyles are pretty monotonous. Here are a few alternatives.

Bubble ponytail is easy to style

With the trendy Bubble Ponytail, women are now giving their hair new impetus. The ball braid can be styled with just a few simple steps. In fact, you only need several hair ties – you can choose colored or unusual versions as you like – and some hairspray. First of all, the hair should be combed properly, because soft and smooth hair sections are wonderful to work with. The mane should then be tied into a high ponytail.

Now the hairdressing of the bubbles follows. For this, a rubber must be wrapped around the braid at a distance of about five to seven centimeters. This process is repeated to the top. The rule here is: the longer the hair, the cooler the end result looks. Finally, just loosen the hair a little from the sections so that the balls become even bigger and rounder. Fix the whole thing with a little hairspray.

O'zapft is! – even without Oktoberfest

Even if the Munich Oktoberfest falls into the water this year because of the corona pandemic, this is by no means a reason to forego stylish braided hairstyles. Especially since the intertwined hair is not only a style guarantee, but also prevents women from sweating under their hair. Braids can either be tied around the head in a Gretchen look or braided along the side of the head.

It becomes a little more sophisticated with the so-called couture braids. For the herringbone braid, for example, the hair is divided into two parts instead of three and taken alternately from one side to the other. The result is a filigree wickerwork that is stylish and yet special. For a shimmering finish, women can work with pearls or silk bows, giving the summer hairstyle a couture update.

Up-do is on top

Stars like Florence Pugh (24) show that the bun and ponytail are anything but boring with the up-do. The "Little Women" star appeared on the red carpet with a tight-knotted hair bun that was pinned halfway up the back of the head. The advantage: the skin on the face is tightened by this hairstyle and the impression of a mini-facelift is created. If you like, you can style the hairstyle "undone". For the wild version, pull the hair on the top of the head into a loose bun, fix it with the hair elastic and pluck out individual strands of the contour. VoilĂ  – the casual summer look is ready.
