2013 Summer Hairstyle Ideas for Long Hair

1. Bardot

   

   The ‘60s Bardot has made a comeback and it’s bigger and better than ever before. Turn up the volume with this serious root-lifter to add a sultry modern spin.

2. Super straight

   

   It’s time to dig out those straighteners because super straight locks are back with a vengeance but make sure you use a heat defence spray! Poker straight tresses were spotted in abundance across the SS13 catwalks, including the likes of Lacoste and Derek Lam.

3. Low-slung bun

   

   This is great if you are too busy to straighten your hair. The easy-peasy low-slung bun is undone and you can simply pull a few strands loose to soften the look. Smooth any bumps out of your hair before securing it into a low pony, then you can twist it into a bun. This was a favourite with designers Chanel, Ralph Lauren and Erdem.

4. Low ponytail

   

   Last year it was all about the high, slick ponytail but this summer it has a more laid-back vibe. It is THE staple festival hairstyle and can be achieved by simply pulling all the hair back and securing into a low-slung pony. If you want to keep it polished and ultra-glossy, just apply a finishing serum.The trend featured heavily at Christian Dior and Chloe S/S 2013. More stylish ponytails for summer here.

5. Waves

   

   Wave goodbye to winter with carefree curls. This is great for girls who naturally have curly hair and don’t want to straighten it every day. Get super sexy bedhead waves with a waving wand or tong. If you don’t love this style, here are more long wavy hairstyles for you to choose from.

6. Ultra-glam blow dry

   

   You don’t have to have super straight locks or curly waves to be on trend this summer. Enter the ultra-glam blow dry.As seen on the catwalk at Diane Von Furstenberg, loosen up your locks by giving your hair some volume and gently rubbing the ends together to create some texture. Curl the ends under or flick them out to create a laid-back look with attitude.
