Our newest DivaGals contributor, celebrity stylist Debra Hare-bey, shares some helpful hints on having great hair this summer!

Summertime is generally a little more carefree than other seasons. ItΓÇÖs filled with fun and outdoor events, which means the forever search of beautiful hairstyles that are easy, breezy and less high maintenance.

Here are three helpful summer tips for stress free hairstyle that will not compromise healthy hair.

Clean conditioned hair is where you want to start for healthier summer hair. Shampooing removes the dirt and residue being outdoors brings. Conditioning protects from sun and water activities.

Updos, topknots, chignons, plaits and braids are great ways to enjoy beautiful hair in the summer without high maintenance or compromising healthy hair. These styles are also considered protective styles because they offer a rest from the day-to-day high maintenance other styles require.

Curls, curls and more curls are perfect summer hair! If you have naturally curly hair or love curly hair, summer is perfect to allow your curls to be free. Create your very own wake-up-and-go curl look. Use products that enhance, de-frizz and add long hold to your curls. If you donΓÇÖt have curly hair, create your curls through a rod set. Try a smaller rod set so as you wear your curls they evolve into a fuller look. Starting with a smaller rod offers layers of style and longer wearability.
