If you thought the Ariana-esque high ponytail or the cutesy messy buns are the only two go-to hairdos for the hot season, think again. We’re saving you the effort of finding inspiration with the coolest set of summer-appropriate hairstyles. Because, no matter how long or short your tresses are, these hairstyles look easy-breezy and give off the perfect summer vibe. You can rely on them for the perfect date night look, or if you want to jazz up your work look. So, go on and gather your pins and hairbands, because we’re about to dive right in!
1. Beachy Waves
How can we talk about summer hairstyles without mentioning beach waves? They look oh-so-romantic and can be done in under 5 minutes using just a curling iron. Just take small strands of your hair and curl them one by one. You can divide them roughly or make proper division if you’re a perfectionist. But either way, you’ll end up with a super chic hairdo. Don’t forget to brush your waves out for an easy-going look.
2. Crown Braids
In any form, crown braids never fail to slay. No matter your hair length, you can sport this hairdo with endless panache. Start braiding from the back of your crown, going towards mid-length. Leave the rest of your hair down. You can tame any flyaways and get bouncy hair with a hair straightening brush. It gives you naturally straight-looking hair, without toning down the volume.
3. Scarf It Up
It’s truly amazing how a simple scarf can elevate a seemingly simple hairdo. There are so many ways you can style it - low bun, high ponytail, or a half up-half down style just like this one. Begin by giving your hair a blow dry for that extra bounce, which pairs really well with this hairstyle, and then tightly secure the top half of your hair with a rubber band. Then use the scarf to neatly hide the band. That’s it, you’re done!
4. The Sporty Look
Okay, we’re not closing business on ponytails, but we’re definitely giving them an uplifting twist. Starting from the forehead, braid your hair backwards, weaving in small sections of the hair as you go. Then secure it tight with bobby pins and a rubber band. Keep in mind - it might be high, tight and secured, but a saggy-looking ponytail is the last thing you want. Lastly, use a hair straightener to create a super sleek ponytail.
5. Bandana Vibe
On days when you do not want to dress up, but want to look put together, a bandana will be your savior, my friend. It’s effortless, yet looks classy.Using a volumising blow-dry brush, create some volume around the crown area and use hairspray to keep it in place. Then simply tie the bandana leaving a few face framing wisps, and you’re done!
