Messy half bun
This simple and quick hairstyle is a great pick-me-up for those on the go this holiday weekend. Pull pieces from both sides of the side of your head and twist into a bun. You can either bring the bun to the top of your head or leave it in the back. Secure with bobby pins.

Short side French braid
Soft waves up the cool factor for this relaxed side French braid. Start a French braid on the side of your head. This works on long or short hair and looks so American and bohemian!

Partial crown braid
Starting at the top of your head, start two braids on either side of your part. Bring them together at the end and secure with a hair tie or barrette.

Beach ponytail
This ponytail will take you from the beach to barbecue to fireworks with no effort!

Grab hair into a low ponytail and twist it into a knot. Secure it with a hair tie. For a fabulous 4th of July look, use red, white and blue ribbon!

Boho Braid
This style is great for those of us whose shorter layers fall out of a conventional low bun. The braid holds loose strands in place while keeping a cool-girl vibe. Create a French braid in the back of your head, right down the middle. Take the remaining hair on either side and tie it into a low ponytail.

Accessorized bun
Create a low bun and wrap ribbon throughout it. This would look perfect with red, white, and blue ribbon wrapped through it!

There are so many styles you can create that will be perfect for the upcoming festivities no matter what it is you are doing. Dress them up or down, as long as your hair is healthy and strong, your hair will look great in any style!
