If you want something more glamorous-looking, make beautiful, full of movement curls using some large hot rollers for super-luxurious locks. The glam look usually requires big curls that you can obtain using a curling iron or large rollers. You can choose the retro spirit with '60s inspired curls and thick bangs as seen at Christian Dior, or the wild, retro approach with a side parting as spotted at Sonia Rykiel, which are back in business for the next season.
Updos and top knots are the perfect solution for hot summer days adding major interest to your neckline. They can bring a chic appearance to your overall aspect for both casual, daytime looks, but also for more formal events that require something more special. If you want something glamorous, try the Dolce & Gabbana chignon, which is so romantic and adorable, yet extremely elegant.
For unbearable summer heat nothing is more suitable than hair pulled up for maximum comfort. Therefore, a high top knot is the saving solution for you. It is easy and quick to do and it doesn't require too many styling tools and products. You can draw your inspiration from Z Spoke by Zac Posen and Moschino.
