INTERMEDIATE Crown Braid - A thick crown braid is a summer-hair staple, but it can look severe when pulled too tight. Keep the look soft and sweet by pulling out two face-framing pieces and starting the braid about two inches back from your hairline. The face-framing pieces are also a great cheat if you're growing out your bangs and don't want layers popping out of your braid.
ADVANCED Loose Cornrow Bun - This particular style welcomes summer frizz and flyaways. Split your hair into three sections from temple to temple, and inside-out French-braid each section back toward your crown loosely and imperfectly. Once all three sections are braided, pin them in place while you pull the rest of your hair into a low, braided bun. Secure the top braids into the bun with pins and some hair spray. The lumpier, messier, and all-around fuzzier this looks, the better.
