Even though summer doesn’t officially start until late June, I’m pretty sure we all feel it as soon as the grills are rolled out and dusted off for Memorial Day. After a long and brutal winter here in the northeast, I don’t know about you but I’m totally ready for it. Bare feet, bathing suits, and lots of sunshine are exactly what this momma needs.

One thing I would like to change about this summer is my hair game. I am notorious for pulling my hair up into a big, messy topknot without a second thought (or even a glance in the mirror). While that’s fine some days, it would be nice to put a little extra effort in once in a while (key words being a little) and feel like a pulled-together human rather than a sleep-deprived task master.

These ten simple summer hairstyles are easy enough so that I won’t make excuses and say I can’t be bothered, yet pulled together enough to make me feel good. And in the end, that’s what important, right?
