It is dang hot in the New York metropolitan area today, and ain't nobody messing around with fussy hair. But before you slick it all back into a bun yet again, check out this cool how-to I just got from Butterfly Studio Salon—it's the perfect updo for steamy weather and requires little more skill than making a couple of basic pigtails.
Butterfly Studio Salon stylist Jason J. Dougherty created this frizz-fighting braided updo that's meant to take you from the office to happy hour and even withstand a long, sticky commute. Here's his simple how-to.
1. Comb out any tangles. Apply a light oil, like Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil, and work through the ends.
2. Center-part hair all the way to the back and divide it into two sections. Apply a smoothing balm, like Shu Uemura Touch of Gloss, to your roots/crown.

3. Comb hair nice and taut and make a thick French braid on one side of the head. Repeat on the other side.

Would you try this easy summer braid how-to? Have you worn this hairstyle before?
Every now and then a Victoria's Secret model pops up on a red carpet to remind us that she knows a little thing or two about looking ethereal and sexy at the same time. Lindsays Ellingson did that at the premiere of A Most Wanted Man last night.
She paired her matte tomato red lipstick with...

Shimmery gold eyeshadow around her eyes with a stripe of liquid black liner on her top lids and faux lashes.

And along her bottom waterline? Peach eyeliner. Not white like a Real Housewife,mind you. Peach, which opened up her eyes and make them look very doll-like.
If you now want to Dry this look next time you go red, here are a few peach liners that would help.
