A 5-Minute Hairstyle That Doesn't Look Lazy

For a lot of us, the Summer months mean dealing not only with sweat but also sticky, thick humidity. And while beach waves are great, they tend to turn into "stuck-to-our-face" waves at the end of karaoke night or after a rousing game of volleyball.

Cheryl Marks, the hair designer behind Pitch Perfect 2 (in theaters May 15th), told us how she dealt with the heat in Baton Rouge, LA, while filming. This inspired a challenge: show us a look that she can create, inspired by the movie, that isn't only great for Summer but is also flirty and won't take up a ton of time. (Less than five minutes, to be exact.)

Cheryl delivered this braided look, inspired by the hip-hop scene in the movie. It's equal parts feminine and functional and will get you out the door quickly. Check out her tricks and tips on how she made it happen!
