Even though it's still Spring, it's time to start thinking about Summer trends! This year, Senior Stylist Graziella Lemo at SalonCapri in Boston created four gorgeously simple hairstyles that transition from spring to summer and pool to party in just a few quick steps! Here, she shows us the Beach Wave Faux Bob...with a decorative fishtail braid!

STEP 1: Using a 1-inch curling wand, take small sections of hair and create loose beachy waves.

STEP 2: Once waves have cooled - gently loosen by running fingers from scalp to ends.

STEP 3: Taking the top section of hair, pull back bangs and create a cascading side fishtail braid down one side of your head. (Here are detailed steps on how to create a fishtail braid.)

STEP 4: Using bobby pins, pin waves up and under to create a faux bob and secure the look with Kerastase Double Force.
