hot hair trends for summer 2011

Halfsies

Perfect for those humidity-stricken mornings, use a clipless curling iron to curl the mid-section of your hair and flat-iron the ends straight to nix frizz.



Unkempt Side Braid

The mantra for this summer's side braid is the messier, the better. Give yourself a deep side part and pull hair to one side. Start braiding at the top of your ear for a loose braid with bigger plaits. Let pieces fall out naturally to create a more relaxed look.




Let Your Frizz Fly

Flyaways were (thankfully) all over the runways this season, meaning you don't have to sweat to death in your bathroom trying to slick all your hair back. To make fuzzies chic, pull hair back into a ponytail or bun at the center of your head and spritz with a flexible hairspray.




Slicked Back Bun

If you've just hopped out of the pool or are in a rush, this style is great for on the go. Use a firm holding gel to pull your hair back into a low bun that will stick with you all day.




Get a Piecey Cut

Winter's polished pixie is being replaced with a textured, choppy cut. If you plan on cutting your hair to stay cool in the heat, make sure your shortest layer hits the top of your ear like Jessica Stroup's, so you can still have some styling options.




One-Sided Half-Up 'Do

For a quickie half-up 'do, create a small braid or twist on one side of your head with a fun flipped over part like Kate Bosworth's here.




Cheerleader Ponytails

Low ponytails are being replaced with high, cheerleader-esque styles that hit at the crown or just below. To give yours some more oomph, push your ponytail forward to create volume on top.



Flat Buns

Tame down your ballerina bun by creating a high ponytail, wrapping and securing hair around an elastic and then gently pulling at the sides to flatten it out.




Lightly Tousled Waves

Waves are always in, but this season expect to see a break from the all out sexy bedhead and instead more subtle, soft curls in its place. Try this look by curling just the ends of your hair or flipping them out with your flatiron.




Put a Lid on It
Having a bad hair day has never been so fun with this season's brims, like Reese Witherspoon's staple fedora.




Fiesty Feathers

Glam up any hairstyle in a flash with a skinny hair feather accessory, like Selena Gomez does here.
