SASSY with a braided twist
A lifted bun allows a cooling breeze to skim the scalp from any angle. “And since this style has volume up top, it visually elongates a rounder face as well,” says Koye.
What you’ll need: Teasing comb, hair tie, bobby pins, hair spray.
Step 1: Make a side part, then tease hair at the crown. Leaving out a 2" section of hair on each side in front, secure the rest of hair into a low ponytail in back with an elastic. Step 2: Split the hair in the tail into three sections, then take each section, split it in half and twist together into a horizontal figure-8 shape; pin against the back of the head. Layer sections so they crisscross. Step 3: Rope-twist each section of hair in front away from the face, then pin at the back of the head. Set with hair spray.
