Braided Summer Hairstyle ideas

Summer is all about fun, sun, and cool hairstyles. My oldest has gorgeous long locks and I am such a fan of playing with them. It’s really like she is my life sized hair model. There are so many fun things you can do with long thick hair, and when it’s HOT in the Summer, you just want it out of your face. That’s why we worked together on this post to bring you some fun braided Summer hairstyle ideas. Check them out!

The first is the forever simple french side braid. Probably one of the easiest braids to make. I just start at an angle at the very top of her head and work my way all the way down at the same angle.

The second is a little more complicated. I have her hang her head off of the bed and do an upside down french braid, leaving a little to the top out. I then twist that into a bun, and wrap the braided end of the french braid around her loose bangs. I love the way it looks, and it gets her hair our of her face and off of her back at the same time.

The third braid we like to do in the Summer is a wacky braid. I do a couple of little braids on each side of her temple, then make a big braid in the back. Add in the small braids, and then place them in a band. I then start a braid again, and then end it with a band. It looks a little crazy, which is why we call it the wacky braid, but she loves it.

The last two braids are just simple and leave the majority of her hair down and long in the back. The first one I just gather her hair and poof it up a little in the back with a band. I then grab two small temple braids and bring them around and wrap around the band.
