Summer time is the time of year when everyone takes their vacations or takes time away from work to travel. Summer is all about being free and doing the things you enjoy. One way to help you be free to enjoy your summer is to choose a hairstyle which is less cumbersome.

A curly hairstyle is the best way to go for Summer time hair because you can do so much with it. Curly hair adds body and texture to any hairstyle and can provide a different look that can go with almost any occasion from sporty to elegant.

Short curly hairstyles work well for those who will be having a busy summer. Shorter hair styles require much less attention than longer hair styles. With short curly styles, you will spend much less time in the morning conditioning and blow drying. Because they are so easy to maintain, you will have to make fewer trips to the beauty salon.

Another great summer time curly hairstyle is the ponytail. Simply pull your hair back into a ponytail with a scarf or hair band and your ready to go with a cool summer style. Curly ponytails work for any length of hair and can be worn for the office, for casual outings, or for an elegant night out on the town.

For a feminine curly style, try a half up do. This flattering style accentuates a woman’s face as loose tendrils which are left untied gently frame the face while highlighting the apples of the cheeks. These curly up do’s can be held in place with fancy barrettes and can be paired up with feminine flowers.

Although curly hairstyles are fast and convenient for your busy summer schedule, in order for your curls to look good for your style, they require proper care. With the hot and humid heat in the summer, curly hair can become frizzy and unruly, that is why it is so important to keep curly hair conditioned. Good styling products such as mousse can also be used to keep your curls bouncy and in shape in the summer heat.

Do you have a round face? If you do, you’re in good company – some of the best. Many of the most beautiful women throughout history have been blessed with prominent cheeks and wide brows. The best way to make the most of your unique face shape is through your hairstyle. Here’s how:

1. Long Layers – Long layers are universally flattering. Contrary to popular belief, long layers actually look longer than a blunt cut of the same length. The layers elongate the face and give the illusion of length. Be sure to ask your stylist to cut the shortest layer just below your chin.

2. Gentle Waves – Resist the flatiron! Waves are your friend! Most women are born with a slight wave to their hair. Rather than straightening naturally wavy hair, embrace it. Use a texturiser to give it a just-woke-up feel or a lifter to revitalise the roots. Added volume in the hair can make a wide, round face look more proportionate.

3. The Long Bob – The bob has been popular among women since it was introduced to the public in 1915 and there’s a reason why. There is a good bob for everyone. If you don’t have the patience or desire to grow your hair long, try the long bob. Ask your hairstylist to give you a gently layered, angled cut just above your shoulders. This sexy style is long enough to achieve the same effect as long layers, but has a little more whimsy.

4. Short Cuts – A lot of people will tell you that women with round faces should never have short hair. That just isn’t true. The key to the short hairstyle on the round-faced woman is texture. Ask your stylist to use a razor instead of shears to give your cut more movement. Be sure to apply voluminising and texturising products to damp hair before blow drying. Don’t be afraid of looking messy – when it comes to short hair messier is sexier.
