This Half-Up Braid is the Perfect Summer Hairstyle

From Cosmopolitan

A half-up corn-braided hairstyle is the perfect way to stay cool this summer. To create this look, if your hair isn't already long, add extensions in as you braid, while simultaneously using gel to smooth down your hair as you continue braiding down to the ends. Once all of your hair is completely braided, gather the top pieces, secure with an elastic, and wrap the braids around the ponytail base to create a bun. For the full how-to, see below:
