As much as we LUHHVE a bouncy blowout, we wanna keep things on the dry and non-sweaty side this summer. Lawd knows even Rapunzel wouldn’t let her hair down in this heat (whew). Enter: functional off-the-neck hairstyles that keep your locks in check while looking hella caaa-ute. We’ve compiled the ultimate mood board of looks and tutorials that pass the summer vibe check. Nothing says cool, calm, and collected like a Y2K bun or sleek braids, right? You’re welcome.
