Don’t get blown away with seasonal hair challenges. These windy city hair style ideas will keep your tresses tamed when the wind doth blow.

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He’ll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

Braids

If your hair is long enough, braids are an ideal windy city hair day idea. You can twist two plaits, wear milk braids, a long fishtail, or a single classic braid that rests along your nape. Adorn your braid with something pretty such as these charm elastic hair ties from Pulleez. Not only will your hair be risk-free from breakage, the pretty beads and metals add a serious does of style. (And double as a bracelet!)

Hats

If you love wearing hats, windy city hair style ideas couldn’t get any easier. A beret, structured cap or wide-brimmed felt wool hat will define your style while keeping fly aways at bay. Opt for a structured hat to pair with a pea coat, and a fur vest or leather jacket for floppy hats. If you’re wearing a puffer jacket or a sports inspired vest, grab a playful beanie.

Headbands

‘Tis the season to adorn your hair. Add some shimmer, sparkle and baubles to your look and keep hair off your face by wearing an embellished headband. Bejeweled headbands are perfect for romantic dates and for celebrating the holidays. If you crave a more modern style, wear a thick tortoiseshell accessory or a wide cotton headband over a slick, low slung ponytail.

Now go fly a kite and look fabulous!
