I've recently read a lot of reader requests for easy summer hairstyles. This style is so pretty. It can be styled with a daytime outfit or going out at night! Best of all, it only takes about five minutes to style!
Step 1-2: Depending on the volume of your hair, separate your locks into 4-6 sections. Twist each section and roll it into a mini bun at the bottom of the back of your scalp. Start with the outermost sections. Pin each section as you twist it with 2-3 bobby pins per bun.
Steps 3-4: Continue twisting and working your way to the center of the scalp. If you have a gap in between two buns, repin to fill the space.
Steps 5-6: Pin any long hairs that are still loose.
Step 7: You've done it! Now, you can wear it like this or add pretty things.
Steps 8-10: We added a pretty little flower we made with raw silk. It's the perfect summer hairstyle, both pulled together and effortless!
These twists are perfect for quick styling when you're on-the-go! Be sure to try a variety of accessories like a handmade flower or bow!

I'll have to try this, thank you for sharing! I have curly hair (harder to style) and no hair styling skills; but this style is so easy even I might be able to pull it off.

Ugh this is SO adorable! I'm good at pinning one big bun (a skill I just mastered and am way proud of), looks like I'll have to try pinning more than one! Thanks for sharing!

LOVE this! Thank you so much for sharing! I've been looking for some cute [and easy!] things to do with my hair this summer. I am so bored with pulling my hair up in a ponytail, haha. <3

Perfect style for getting your hair off your neck and looking good. Way better than the pony tail that I usually do :)

OH, how pretty, I will definitely try to use it. Even if my hair is really heavy and most of times nothing holds it up ^^ Thanks!

I'm so excited to try this! My hair is just above shoulder-length and it's hard to find hairstyles that will work for it. Thanks!
