Pin these to your hair board right now

All the best hair intentions never stand a chance against the long, humid days that are nearly upon us. Instead of splurging on goops and waxes and spending hours with your straightener, try switching things up with a fun new braid style. (And no, we’d never judge you if you actually spent that time just taking this story straight to the salon and letting someone else do it for you.)
