Fun braids and buns are a favorite at Brit + Co, but we’ll admit it — they can get boring if worn day after day. Lucky for us, summer’s newest hair trend is here to save the day. From red carpets to fashion magazines, faux hawks have got us really excited. Not only can this hairstyle add an edge to any look, but it can also be achieved with any hair texture or length.
