Weather-proof hairstyles

We seem to be having a cracker of a summer so far with lots of warm sunny days - it’s just glorious! However, no matter the season our weather can be a tad fickle, making it difficult to maintain our carefully crafted hairstyles all day long. Whether it be the heat, the rain or the wind, the elements can create quite a challenge when we’re trying to fashion practical, pretty AND lasting hairstyles.

But all is not lost! We can solve this style dilemma with a few weather-resistant hairdos that tick all the boxes and will save you from having to resort to simply chucking your hair up in a ponytail! (Although, there’s nothing wrong with a simple and stunning pony every now and then.)

Take your pick!

Braids
As well as protecting your locks from the elements, plaited creations radiate a romantic and feminine charm. From a simple fishtail plait to a halo braid, weave a week of weather-proof hairdos with our ‘Braided Beauty’ article.

Headscarves

Artistically enfolding your tresses in beautiful fabrics is a stunning solution for a potential bad hair day. Practical (controlling wild and wayward strands) and super versatile (from casual daytime to chic evening looks), wrapping your locks in a stunning headscarf is an appealing option for both short and long hair. For a few styling ideas, read our ‘All hail the headscarf’ article.

Topknot

Take your basic ‘go-to’ ponytail to the next level with a simple and sassy topknot. Beat the elements, by sweeping your locks up in a plump chignon high on the crown of your head. Tousle your topknot and leave a few wispy strands loose for a relaxed daytime look, or smooth your tresses into a more structured bun for a sleek and elegant formal style. Learn how to fashion a superb topknot by reading our ‘Creating the perfect bun’ article.

Happy weather-proof styling!
