8 Wonderfully Unique YouTube DIY Videos For Redheads This Summer

By: Alexandra Bricker

One problem I personally struggle with during the summer is my thick, long, coarse red hair.  If I sweat even a little bit around my scalp, my hair frizzes out.  If it is too humid out, forget wearing my hair down.  I will look like Carrot Top in ten minutes.  On top of all of that, I grew my hair out for a reason, and it wasn’t just so I could throw it up in a ponytail 4-5 months out of the year!  Thankfully, we now have many tutorials online for different and unique ways to style hair and get rid of the boring ponytail.

Here are a few video tutorials to get started with:

1. Headband Up-do for Long Hair 

My favorite is the “headband up-do.”  This hairstyle is great for keeping your hair off of your neck and out of your face as well as keeping a headband in place and jazzing up your look for the day:

2. Headband Up-do for Short Hair

If you have short hair, but want the look above, this is the video for you:

The “Gibson Tuck” is an elegant and easy way to style your hair on the go. See the tutorial here:

4. Very Easy Braided Up-do for Long Hair:
