[discussion] Summer Hairstyle Ideas part 2

Piggy-backing on last year's entry, I made a new collage of slightly more current hair styles for spring and summer! Just like last year, I focused on hair styles that could potentially be done with natural hair (although I'm sure like half of these are wigs). For example, hair without bangs/fringe, side parts, natural/curly hair, or braids and updos that can bring hair off the back of the neck for a breezy summer look. As quintessential as the dolly look of blunt cut bangs and long ringlet curls is to the lolita aesthetic, sometimes you want options to stand out from the rest of the crowd, or fix up your own hair on an extra hot day when you would rather not wear a wig. I gathered these looks from various Gothic Lolita Bibles, Kera magazines and photoshoots for current release dresses from the brand sites. Hope this is of interest to you!

I am really liking the thick braids, ribbon braids, and puffy twin buns. I kinda wish we could see the back of the head for the up dos in the center!
