Classic ponytail

When a heat wave comes and we feel like we are about to melt, everything gets in the way. Clothes become almost an instrument of torture and better not to mention hair. The first has a solution if you get a good arsenal of fresh clothes, but what about our manes? You can always use a classic ponytail like Reese Witherspoon's, which leaves your face clear, a total success.
Ballerina bun

It's sure to be one of the hairstyles you turn to the most when it's hot to die for. There are many ways to do it but our favorite is to first make a ponytail, twist, form a circumference and introduce the rest of the hair inside and give it a rounded shape to place another rubber band on top and hold it.
Braids

Wearing two braids in this way sweetens the expression a lot. This hairstyle is ideal for going out with your friends, walking around town or going to the beach, for example. Bella Hadid wears it with a highly polished effect that she achieves based on styling gel and starting from straight hair.
Low ponytail
Low ponytail
It is elegant and romantic although that, if you have a lot of hair, will continue to give you a little heat in the back. In any case, the key is to give the crown some volume first by creping the hair in that area a little. You can also leave a few strands loose like Sofía Reyes to frame your face and curl the hair in the ponytail.
Low collected

We really liked this look from Lily Rose Depp because it is studiously sloppy. You can replicate the look of the model using only your fingers to comb your hair, leaving some strands with more volume than others when pulling them back. If you want, you can finish your hairstyle in a low ponytail or turn it into a classic bun or our favorite, braided.
French bow

It is one of the hairstyles of the season but getting it right takes some practice. Crepe the hair from the top of the head and comb it down while maintaining the volume. Collect all your hair with your hands in a ponytail more or less in the middle of the head. Now twist it to the right and keep turning it until you can get it inside the left side. Put some bobby pins and put some hairspray to set the hairstyle.
Messy collected

If you have your hair cut in layers and you have a little trouble finding a hairstyle with which your hair does not come out of the shortest first time, you can try a look like Sienna Miller. She looses the top layers and gathers the rest in a low bun.

Marion Cotillard's look is perfect for going to work. She combs all her medium length hair back applying styling gel and gathers it at the nape in a simple ponytail. Impeccable.
Bun with bangs
Bun with bangs
If you have been one of those who have gone to curtain bangs this season, here is the ideal collection for you. It is a classic high bun, of a ballerina, that you can get with the technique that we have mentioned before, only that before bringing all the hair back, you have to separate the strands of bangs that you want to leave out.
Messy braid

A lopsided braid is also a great option for sweltering days. If you want, you can make it from the roots so that it lasts longer but if it is not enough, just take your hair to one side and braid it without further ado. Pull out some front strands to frame the face.
Half Up Bun
Half Up Bun
If you want to be less hot but don't feel like giving up on showing off your long hair, do like Bella Hadid and resort to the trendy semi-updo, the half up bun. As easy as making a bun but only with half the hair.
High ponytail
High ponytail
This ponytail is one of the most flattering of the season and is suitable for bangs. Part the front locks and collect the rest in a high ponytail. Attach the rubber to secure. Take a section of the ponytail and roll it over the ponytail to cover it. Secure the strand with a bobby pin. The good thing about this look is that nothing happens if you have let your hair air dry and it has a lot of volume. It looks better this way!

Victoria does know. The designer is left with the elegance and discretion that a low collected provides. Leave the front part more or less the same as if you were wearing it loose and gather all the hair in the middle of the head. If you do not have much quantity or very long hair, you can simply secure it with bobby pins but if this is not your case, make a root braid and tuck the excess braided hair under the hair that is attached to the head.
Glam braid

If a regular braid is too short for you, you can do like Drew Barrymore and add that effect that we like so much, the flip side hair , you know, throwing all your hair to one side as if it were something casual.
Special occasions

Who has not ever had to go to a wedding in the middle of August? If it's your turn this year –and you already have the perfect guest dress–, we suggest you try a look like Olga Kurylenko's, a very romantic updo made with braids that leaves the entire nape clear.
We were looking forward to summer but of course, now come the problems that the heat brings us. In addition to sleeping little and badly at night, we have to endure the heat that the hair gives us on the nape, on the face and, if it is very long, even on the back. But calm down, that even if you are a refusal to comb your hair, with these collected you will have that little problem solved and you can focus on the good of summer.
Hairstyles to avoid heat
- Bows . We can think of many ways to wear our hair in a bun. The option of making a tall one may be the most appropriate, easy and helpful solution of all. We also love the idea of making a low bun with some loose front strands, it looks very elegant and sophisticated. And another very fashionable this season, the half up bun, which allows you to show off your long hair but significantly reducing the amount of hair that touches the back.
- Pigtails . A ponytail with all the hair combed back and at mid-height flatters almost everyone and besides, there is nothing easier to do. If you want to refine the result a bit, you can do it the same, but at the nape of the neck and fix your hairstyle with a wet effect gel to make it more polished. Another solution that has conquered us is to make a high ponytail, leaving the front strands or bangs at your leisure and covering the elastic with a lock from the ponytail itself. This hairstyle, in addition to being fresh, has another clear advantage and that is that even if you let your hair dry in the air and it has a lot of volume, it will look great.
- Plaits . We love the idea of wearing a root braid and hiding the ends inside to create an interesting updo . Of course, we also love the idea of wearing a simple lopsided braid, with a few loose strands but no more mystery or Drew Barrymore's idea of joining this lopsided braid to a flip side hair.
