This Easy Updo Was Made For Warm Weather

Once the temps hit north of 80 degrees, our top priority is getting our hair out of the way. Because as much as we love our long, free-flowing locks, there comes a point when we just want 'em up and away from our necks by whatever means necessary.

So, in a quest for a summertime style superior in both form and function, we called on hair pro Michael Dueñas. With his help, our fashion assistant, Rachel, locked down a look that's basically begging to be worn as the mercury rises. Check it out, above.
