9 Hairstyles for Hitting the Slopes

Before winter comes screeching to a halt and we start envisioning our shimmering summer hair filled with highlights and those coveted beachy waves, let’s back up for a second and remind ourselves that snow season is still here and we should seriously seize the day (or at least the opportunity to rock some divine winter hair). Find your inner snow bunny with these nine (helmet ready!) hairstyles that’ll have you looking fierce from the slopes to the lodge. Pack your parka and skis and hit the mountains ASAP!

Boxer Braids

Boxer-Braid Slide down the slopes with a pair of badass boxer braids. Though these adorably tight braids have been around for ages, boxer braids are definitely having their moment and we’re kinda obsessed. Did we mention it’s the perfect style for second (or third or forth) day hair? (via @yourstruly.christinemarie)

Straight + Sleek
