Even though school is back in session, the summer heat isn’t officially over just yet. Opt for a simple updo to keep your hair off your neck while creating some face-framing shape. Cue this year’s quintessential claw clip. Not only are claw clips available in a variety of materials, colors, and patterns to help you personalize your everyday look, but they are incredibly low-maintenance and cause much less damage and split ends than traditional hair ties or elastic bands. To achieve this universally-flattering look, gather the hair at the base of your head, twist it toward the ceiling, and wrap your claw clip around strands, pulling out the front hair pieces as desired.

Double the playfulness with some iconic 90s-inspired space buns! This simple yet trendy updo can provide a structured style while maintaining a subtle softness that stays in place all day. To achieve the look, part your hair down the center and divide it evenly into two low buns. It helps to curl the individual ponytails with a large iron to conceal all flyaways and ensure the buns remain taught and perfect. Don’t forget to finish each bun with hairspray for a long-lasting hold! Our stylists at the Z Hair Academy cosmetology school in Lee’s Summit recommend opting for the Joico Power Spray for a quick finish!

Are you eager to show off your natural texture? A classic and effortless high ponytail is the perfect school-ready style to save you some time and energy this season! Use a curl-defining styling product on your damp hair before gathering it toward the top of your head and securing it with a hair tie. Pull down a few front pieces to create softness around your face, and spray with some light-hold hairspray for added volume!
