Easy, breezy, summer hairstyles (and cuts)....

I have a slight obsession with getting my hair cut!  It has dwindled a bit since I had kids since I no longer have the time and money to get my hair cut/colored as much as I used to, but, I still get all excited when I see a great color or dye job!  So, while many consider makeup to be the "tool" that women (and some men) used to polish their look, I tend to think that a great haircut/style can absolutely do the same!

Here are a few that I think are just perfect for the summer time:

The Tapered Inverted Bob:  It's the newer, more modern, casual-but-stylish version of the old-faithful!  I LOVE this cut- and actually, it's what I am wearing for the summer!  Its easy to maintain, quick to style, cool, and stylish!

Couldn't you see just about anyone wearing this?  Great cut!

I am also a big fan of braids!  In the summer heat, it's a great way to keep hair out of your face and cool while also looking cute!  Another bonus, it's a great way to do your hair if you are just getting back from the beach and don't have time to shower!  You'll see with the next pictures that braids can be cute and stylish without looking like you're 8!

Even though these two girls have long hair, the braided concept could work with shorter hair (like the bob), too!

One of my favorite picks is next- the "messy up do" or "loose bun"...Great for beachy hair to keep it up and off your neck but as you'll see, is very sexy- add a flowered headband or scarf and this could go from day to night in no time!

Cute!  I love, love, love this style!

I hope this gives you some ideas on how to keep cool and still look great and have a pulled-together look without hours under the blow dryer!

What's your favorite???
