Cute & cool summer hairstyles to try now

African-American-hairstyle-naturalAs temperatures and the humidity rise, so does our hair. The summer is always an issue when it comes to my hair. Coupled with the weather, the water also plays a part when trying to figure out how to wear my hair during the summer.
Water parks, pool parties and water sports are too much fun to miss out on because we are worried about our hair getting wet. Therefore I found several cute braided and natural hairstyles that will keep us cool. Check out these water and summer friendly hairstyles!


Braids seem to be the most popular hairstyle for the summer. Kerry Hilson wears them so well.


Alicia Keys is rocking a braided updo. I love it!


I love when Brandy Norwood wears her hair natural. It compliments her so well.


If you’re considering getting dreadlocks, check out Torrei Hart’s dreads.  Even if you weren’t considering it, I’m sure you are now.


If you have a face for a short taper cut like Lupita Nyong’o does, then go for it! I love this look on her.


Don’t want braids? How about twists? Melissa Harris Perry maintain her professional look rocking her twists.


Braids and wavy hair, Rasheeda wears both well. I like this look on her.


Nicole Ari Parker makes her side bun and scalp twist look glamorous. She is such a stunning woman.


If my hair was the texture of Tracee Ellis Ross’ I’d wear my hair like this all the time. I absolutely love her hair!


It takes self confidence and beauty to wear a short natural like Viola Davis. The color is a nice touch too.
Sanaa Lathan combines simple and elegance with her braid wrapped around her bun. I like her hair pulled off of her face.
