The unimpeachable chic of free-flowing waves notwithstanding, August s last steamy stretch is peak season for long-hair boredom. Doing her part to discourage impulsive buzzcuts, Victoria s Secret Angel Josephine Skriver is filling her fans Instagram feeds with a wellspring of easy styling ideas that celebrate every hard-earned inch without requiring so much as a blast of the blowdryer.
Bedhead fans take note: Skriver knows that good summer hair starts with a head of air-dried pieces that have enough grip to be reworked into a thick, fluffy topknot in seconds, and can be let down into unravelling into bombshell waves made for a side-to-side flip. A second-day texture also lends itself to more creative upgrades like a set of tennis braids or twin ponytails, best paired with a few tugged-out pieces that provide the lived-in feel of a true off-duty look.
The all-American bandana has also found its way into the Danish model s repertoire in the form of a neatly folded headband paired with shower-fresh strands that are entire selfie ready. And a wide-brim hat all but guarantees a good hair day whether a day at the derby or a low-key brunch is in the cards. As for her take on the ubiquitous hot-weather ponytail? Scoop it up high, let it swing in the breeze—and get back the business of enjoying every last sun-soaked day.
Here, seven hair upgrades to get you through the week—all in five minutes or less.
