I walked out the house this morning at 8 a.m. and was instantly met with foggy sunglasses and clammy skin. Not the makings of a good hair day.

Heat waves call for easy, no-fuss hairstyles. Not knowing where to even start, I stopped by Suede Salon and Spa in Marlton, N.J., to learn how to pull together a good hair day in the worst weather conditions.

Armed with a few styling products (hair spray and styling cream or pomade), and tools (hair wand, bobby pins, and clear plastic hair elastics), stylist Dyan D'aversa showed me three easy and super cute hairstyles that will hold up in the summer, even during heat waves.

D'aversa did a great job creating styles that work with every age, hair type, texture, and length, as demonstrated by her beautiful hair models.

Beachy Waves

Model: Caleigh

  1. Prep your hair by washing and air-drying to give your hair a better texture for the waves. Add a root elevator for volume and a smoothing cream to the length of the hair.

  2. Using a one-inch curling wand, wrap small sections of hair around the wand, away from the face.  Leave ends out to create waves, instead of curls. Repeat on your whole head.

  3. Once your whole head has been curled, rake your fingers through your hair to loosen the wave.

  4. Finish with pomade to define the waves and hairspray to hold.

Scarf with Side Braid

Model: Megan D

  1. Start with a scarf tied in a double knot on top of your head.

  2. Begin an inverted French braid on one side of the head. Use the ends of the scarf to incorporate into the braid.

  3. Continue braiding; keep the braid at the base of the head.

  4. Tie the end with a small, clear elastic band and set it with hair spray.

Braided Messy Bun

Model: Megan W

  1. Take a small section of hair on one side of your head and begin a French braid.

  2. Take another small section of hair and begin an inverted braid along the base of your head.

  3. Secure braids with small, clear elastics.

  4. Using fingers, rough up the crown of the head to create some height.

  5. Pull your braids back and tuck the bottom braid into the top braid using bobby pins.

  6. Make sure to rough up the braids some so the braids are nice and full.
