Summer is here, and there’s no better time to switch up your hairstyle than now (because July heat is no joke). The easiest way to make a change is a generous cut, but if you aren’t ready to chop it off, you should know there are plenty of other ways to spice up your hair game.

On the latest episode of 3 with Me, a YouTube series in which we show you the three smartest ways to do something, PureWow Creator Kate showed viewers how to change up their hairstyle. Watch the video below to see Kate demonstrate three unique ways to style your hair this summer.

“Ah, summer: the time for pools, travel and the Mamma Mia! soundtrack,” Kate said in the clip. “Everywhere we look people are rocking new styles, so it is time for a change.”

Kate proceeded to show viewers three easy hairstyles for the summer (see below). The best part? You might already have some (or all) of the supplies.

1. Scarf bun

Supplies needed: silk head scarf ($7 at Amazon)

2. Crimp and color

Supplies needed: hair waver curling iron ($72 at Amazon) and clip-in hair extensions ($12 at Amazon)

3. Flower crown

Supplies needed: flower charm beads ($16 at Amazon)

We’ll let you watch the full video above to learn more about Kate’s hairstyles, including which method is reminiscent of Avril Lavigne circa mid-2000s.
