It’s summer. Forget about wasting time with intricate hairstyles. Instead, Rodney Cutler offers up three styles that can be done in just 3 minutes. Ready … Set … Go!

Boho Braid

• Part your hair as it naturally separates
• Fold a scarf and wrap around the crown of your head for a cool, bohemian feel. For beginners, knot the scarf at the base of your head (underneath where your braid will start); for more experienced braiders, cross the scarf and add two of the three strands of your braid. You can trade in the scarf for ribbons if you want.
• Braid hair to the bottom.
• Secure at bottom with the remainder of the scarf.
• Spray with sea salt to give dimension, texture and hold.

Lived-in Pony

• Apply texture spray or dry shampoo throughout the roots of the hair for volume. Turn on curling iron.
• Pull hair loosely back into a pony at the crown of your head, allowing natural wisps to fall around your face. Tie with elastic.
• Strategically place two bobby pins at the bottom of the ponytail, where the hair tie sits, pointing up towards the top of your head. This boosts the base and creates more glamorous feel.
• Pull a 1-inch strand from the bottom of the ponytail and wrap it around a hair tie and secure with another pin.
• Using a large barrel curling iron, curl the top section of the ponytail and longest strands of the ponytail (usually the bottom section).
• Spray with hair spray and sea salt spray.

Loose Texture

• With hair dry to mostly dry, separate into two to four sections, depending on thickness.
• Set texture by spraying with sea salt spray.
• Twist each section from top to bottom, securing it with a bobby pin and let it sit.
• Heat shock with a diffuser quickly to set hair.
• Untwist and tousle lightly for a lived-in, beachy look.
