Transitions in seasons call for versatile hair, especially when switching from summer to fall. Those awkward months of no more beach trips but not yet pumpkin spice lattes prove to be a tough time for choosing stylish and comfortable hairstyles. Currently, the weather is cool and breezy, which is the kind of weather that long locks are meant for. However, the sun still beats down and beckons for pulled back hair.
This Fashionista found the solution through the half-bun—a laid back and relaxed look that fits perfectly for a beach school. Buns are a popular choice during the hotter months and this style allows you to pull your hair out of your face while still having strands loosely resting on your shoulders. You can feel the sun’s ray and the breeze with comfort and ease.
Plus, this look can be date worthy and casual enough for class. This Fashionista chose to pair this hairstyle with a casual, striped dress and a chambray shirt, but you could easily dress this style up with some dark wash skinny jeans, heels and a cute crop top for a night on the town.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: There are only a few necessary items to perfect this look. First off, after brushing back the top layer of hair, you will need some twist in bobby pin or hair bands to secure the mini top knot. Next, you will use flat bobby pins that will just secure the troublesome flyaway hairs to get a more laid back look. Do not pin back every hair. Lastly, this step can be optional, use sea salt spray to produce a slight curl, giving you that relaxed, “just got back from the beach” vibe.
