UP

SHORT

DOUBLE TOPKNOT 

Keep hair off your neck with this fresh take on a typical bun. Smooth strands with an anti-frizz serum, then loop the top section of hair in an elastic at the high point of your head and the bottom section directly below, leaving the ends out.

GH BEAUTY AWARD WINNER: JOHN FRIEDA FRIZZ EASE EXTRA STRENGTH SERUM, $11, TARGET

MEDIUM

BRAIDED BUN 

Breeze from balmy day to night with an elegant yet relaxed updo: Weave a braid on each side of the front of hair, then wrap them together into a low bun. Finish by spritzing all over with a flexible hairspray to keep the style in place.

LONG

SEGMENTED PONYTAIL 

Give your go-to summer pony a fun update by tying thin elastics matching your hair's color along its length about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Gently tug each segment with your fingers to enhance fullness.
