6. Easy Hairstyles for Short Curly Hair

Easy Buns And Updos To Get Your Hair Off Your Neck In Summer
It is way too hot to wear your hair down right now, so try out one of these easy summer updos instead.
It is so hot out. It’s disgustingly, stupidly, ridiculously hot outside. It’s so hot out that just spending the entire summer living in a Starbucks is starting to seem like a good idea. Really, I don’t need more in life than iced tea, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. But since I can’t actually do that, I can at least get my gross, sweaty hair off my neck for the next few months.
Updos are unfairly thought of as stiff, formal hairstyles. Really, they’re perfect for summer if you don’t want to take the plunge and get that short haircut you’ve been thinking about. Just tie your hair up out of the way and go about your business at least 70 percent cooler.
