Are you looking for a trendy and functional hairstyle for this summer? We will help you out with five hairstyles that you can easily recreate at home with a range that are perfect for the summer season. Summer hairstyles should be stylish and functional. Whether you have long or shoulder-length hair, there is a perfect hairstyle for you to try out this season.
Braids
Braiding your hair in summer isn’t a new concept but still looks trendy. Here are some braided hairstyles you can experiment with:
Fishtail Braid
This is a classy, relaxed hairstyle that you can customize in many different ways. The fishtail braid is perfect for people with long hair who want a clean and smooth finish to their hair. It looks like something straight out of an elven fairytale.
Flower Braid
Adding fresh or silk flowers to your basic braid bumps up the summer style and adds a little touch of cute and pretty all at the same time. Braid your basic braid with three sections of hair and add beautiful flowers by tucking the stems into your hair.
Triple Braid
This braid technique looks amazing and elegant but it can be a little challenging to make. The triple braid requires using three braiding styles: fishtail braid, French braid, and the typical three-strand braid. While it can be challenging to create, it is so fun to learn and it can be worn to fancy occasions. Walk into the room with style and the confidence to back it up with this bold braid hairstyle.
Buns
Bun hairstyles are fun and easy to wear and keep your hair off your back and neck during the summertime heat. Let’s take a look at some fun bun hairstyles you can try this summer!
Easy Twisted Side Bun
Grab two hair elastics to build the bun and add a bobby pin to secure it in place. Voila! This easy and simple bun will have you sporting the perfect hairstyle for summertime.
Double Twisted Bun
This bun will make you feel and look elegant and fancy. Simply part your hair down the center, twist both sides and wrap them around each other to create a bun that sits on the lower part of your head. Secure them with elastics, bobby pins, or clips. This bun style is great for both day and night-time activities.
Messy Bun
This bun style can be effortlessly classy. A no-care slightly messy bun can leave you feeling stylish and on trend for most any occasion. Rock this care-free bun at home, work, school, or any event.
The Top Knot Bun
Another quick and easy hairstyle that blends well with a simple look is the top knot bun. You only need one quick twisting of your long hair, wrap it around itself, and secure it with elastics or bobby pins to hold it in place on the top of your head. Your natural hair or clip-in bun extensions will work well to make a top knot bun, too.
Half Down, Half Up
If you have naturally curly and wavy hair, this hairstyle is for you! It blends perfectly with all summer dresses and trendy hats to make an effortless look. Don’t sweat it if you have straight hair. All you have to do is loosely curl some strands to recreate this look. Take a look at these half down, half up hairstyles:
Floral Twist
Summer is here, and the fresh blooms and foliage are splendid. Add fresh cut flowers to your half-up hairdo to add some bright and playful fun to your look that also smells incredible.
Twist-Back
Take some of the hair next to your hairline on both sides of your head, twist them separately and tie them together in the back. The twist-back hairdo is easy and perfect for both curly or straight hair.
Rope Braids
The sister hairdo to the braid and half-up half-down styles involves braiding your hair on the sides and tying the braids at the back. It’s a cute summer look for brunch, a summer date, or any festive occasion.
Waves
Do you have long luscious locks of hair or even a shorter bob or shoulder-length layers? Then adding waves to your hair will be a fun alternative to the clean straight look. Let’s have a look at these elegant wave hairstyles for summertime:
Beach Waves
They are chic and effortless, making them the best-undone summer hairstyle. You can get this look with a curling wand. If your hair has some natural wave to it, try spritzing some salty beach spray in your locks or scrunch your damp hair with your hands and a little bit of watered down gel before you let it air dry.
Heatless Headband Waves
If you want to stay away from the heat use hair rollers to get the waves you’re looking for. You don’t want your hair to be soaking wet, but just wet enough that it can finish drying while holding them with rollers. If your hair is a little more stubborn, try adding some hairspray or the tiniest bit of gel to your hair before you roll them. Dry them with a hairdryer and let them cool down completely before taking the rollers out. Or you can leave them in overnight and wake up the next day with stunning waves!
Mermaid Waves
They are the right amount of magical for hot dates, beach events, and fancy occasions. Mermaid waves are the trend for summer sunshine, especially for long, strong, and shiny hair. All you need is a triple barrel iron to get instant mermaid waves. Set your hair with a touch of your favorite hairspray to make them last a little longer.
Ponytails
A ponytail is a convenient and casual or fancy hairstyle that suits all hair types, especially with the summer heat. Let’s look at at some ponytail hairstyles to try out this summer:
Sleek High Ponytail
This bold ponytail look levels up your summertime ponytail game. It is very high and very elegant. Use a fine toothed comb and hairspray to secure any flyaways and get rid of any lumps and bumps. To up your basic ponytail game, take a strand of hair and wrap it around the elastic and create a seamless clean look.
Rope Braid Ponytail
This bold and sleek summer hairstyle is secure and eye-catching. Gather your hair into a high ponytail and use the rope braid technique to braid the ponytail. If your hair isn’t too long, consider adding a hair extension to give your look more volume and oomph.
Bubble Ponytail
This bubbly ponytail is fun and a quick style for people who don’t have too much time to spend on styling their hair. Put your hair up in a basic pony, and place elastic bands up and down the length of your ponytail. Puff up your sections to create a quirky and simple hairdo.
