What’s your go-to summer hairstyle? If you don’t have one yet we are here to help you out with these 9 easy summer hairstyles you can recreate yourself! It’s always fun to try new hairstyles as the season’s change; however, for Summer, you need hairstyles that can stand hot & humid weather. These easy Summer hairstyles will keep your hair off your face and body, while still looking super cute!
Braid Crown/Braid Bun
This style is an excellent way to keep sweaty bangs off of your forehead. Just french-braid your bangs along with any face-framing layers that usually end up stuck to your face. Wear it a bit messy like Drew Barrymore for a less formal style or go sleeker like Rita Ora. It works great for different lengths of hair, and you can wear it with any texture.
Elegant Ponytail
There’s no need to stick with the standard basic ponytail these days. There are so many different styles to choose from, depending on the texture and the length of your hair. Update your classic pony with some curls or go straight and sleek. You can add fun accessories like bold clips or a fun scarf.
Single Braid
Keep hair off your back and shoulders with this low maitience look. Put your hair in a high ponytail and simple braid straight back. Use some hairspray to get a sleek look and don’t forget to secure any flyaways with bobby pins. What I love about this look is it can be dressed down and fun like Katy Perry or sophisticated and elegant Like Jenifer Lopez.
Beachy Half-Up Half-Down
This is a classic look that you can update with fun accessories. It is an effortless style that can be paired with any cute summer dress. You can embrace your natural curls or curl it first for a more polished look.
Top Knot
A tight top knot isn’t only stylish, but it’s functional. The higher the temperature, the higher the hair, the cooler you stay. It is a super simple look that goes a long way.
Beachy Waves
Beachy, loose waves are the perfect undone summer hairstyle when it’s just too hot to use heat on your hair! It definitely says effortless and chic at the same time. You can use the headband trick to achieve these loose curls or some lightweight products that will hold your curls without being too heavy.

Double Braids
Celebrities like Kim Kardashian has definitely made this look cool again. Wear this at work, school, and even the gym. It’s great because your hair is out of your face and you can rock the cool crimped look after you take them out.
Smooth Low Pony Tail
A low ponytail is a go-to hairstyle in any season, but I really love how easy & polished it looks even on the hottest days. It’s the perfect understated look to pair it with bold makeup.
Bold Accessories
While we usually try to hide bobby pins for most hairstyles, try something new and make them the focal point of your style. Bejeweled clips are also making a comeback!
