Boho Half-Up Style 

This season, the bohemian aesthetic is everywhere. If your wardrobe is filled with floral blouses and breezy dresses, this is the perfect hairstyle for you. Simply wave your hair from mid-length to the ends and loosely tie the top half back. Add long bangs or face-framing strands for an effortlessly romantic look, just like Camila Coelho.

Elaborate Bun 

This style is chic enough for a summer wedding guest but surprisingly easy to do. Start with a high ponytail, then divide the hair into small strands. Twist each one and pin it around the base, building a textured bun. Secure with bobby pins and hairspray for a polished, party-ready finish.

Ponytail with a Twist 

The ponytail is the ultimate easy hairstyle, but with one simple trick, you can take it from casual to chic. Wrap a small strand of hair around the elastic to hide it, securing with a bobby pin underneath. Add soft waves and a touch of hairspray, and you'll have a red carpet-worthy look in minutes.

Classic French Braid 

Feminine, timeless, and a little boho, the French braid is the perfect summer style. It looks even better with beachy volume and texture. Start by sectioning the top of your hair into three strands and begin braiding, adding new sections of hair as you go. Once you master the technique, it’s sure to become a go-to.
