With the mercury rising and our scarves being swapped for sunhats, there’s something undeniably freeing about shedding the old to embrace the new. But what about our hair? Don’t you want to find out which styles will keep you feeling fresh and looking effortlessly cool as we answer summer’s siren call?
The Ultimate Summer Updo with a Twist
The style that screams summer is this ethereal updo captured in file-1.jpg. It’s a cascade of curls, loosely pinned up with a few strands provocatively escaping around the face. Topped off with a simple ribbon, it’s all about mixing elegance with fun.
This look is perfect for anyone who wants to pair grace with comfort. While those blessed with natural waves or curls may be particularly flattered, folks with very fine or stick-straight hair might get lost in all that volume and texture.
To maintain this style, sea salt spray works best—it adds texture and grip. Likewise, a little bit of mousse can keep your curls bouncy. Try Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Foam Spray for that beachy feel.
The ribbon in this style is like the silent hero—unassuming yet transformative. It gives off a subtle hint at lazy picnics and dreamy walks into the sunset: the perfect metaphor for your own summer love story.
Sunkissed Curls Served With A Side Of Boldness
Where bold meets beautiful. This look is all about setting your curls free and letting them dance under the sun. Each curl has its own personality but together they make magic happen by creating an ensemble full of dynamism.
Perfect for those curly-haired goddesses out there—the bigger, the better—but might be too much for someone on the fine side on volume.
In order to make sure your curls stay defined without weighing them down, a light curl-defining cream like SheaMoisture’s Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie is what you need.
Who knew curls could whisper secrets? They speak of nights under the stars, music festivals where your hair dances with you and alluring summer nights. It’s not just a style; it’s a story.
The Bold and the Braided: A High-Up Affair
The striking is an example of how braids can be used to take any look up a notch in a summer hair cut woman’s arsenal. With braids wrapped around the crown, falling into majestic buns, it’s both royal and rebellious.
This one favors those with long and thick hairstyles that allow the intricate design of braids shine through. But if thin locks are your cross to bear, don’t worry—a few cleverly placed extensions might do the trick.
To make sure this regal style stays in check, you’ll need some firm-hold hairspray. Give L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray a try for hold that lasts forever without being all crunchy.
This hairstyle has more to say than you think—it whispers ancient tales, power and poise. For days when you want your look to conquer rooms—or beaches or boardwalks—this is the one. It’s more than just a hairstyle; it’s an attitude.
Playful Elegance: Soft Top Knot with Wispy Bangs
We get a twist on the classic top knot. The soft tendrils on the face add some fun and an intentional allure.
This is ideal for medium to thick hair, but rounder face shapes can still use it to add some fun to their looks. Fine hair can also use this style with some volume at the roots.
To keep this look in place all day, you’ll only need a spritz of flexible hairspray like TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist.
It’s versatile and charming—perfect for summer adventures!
Voluminous Ponytail with Sleek Strands
This ponytail has a lot of bounce and fullness. It’s perfect for summer vibes.
Naturally thick and wavy hair will get the best results out of this one, but fine-haired folks don’t fear! A curling wand and some backcombing will make your hair look just as voluminous.

The Classic Chignon: A Tale of Timeless Grace
You’ll find a chignon that epitomizes timeless elegance. It’s polished finish and rounded fullness at the nape work together to create an air of classic sophistication.
It’s not exactly the go-to for people who prefer a more casual summer look. If you’re trying to give off a polished professional vibe, though, it’s perfect. Those with straighter hair types will have an easier time achieving this sleek style. If your hair has waves, you can still make it work with a little work.
A small amount of smoothing serum applied before styling will keep flyaways under control and add some glossy shine to your look. Try using John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum for best results.

The bow isn’t just a detail—it’s the centerpiece of your summer night narrative. Sometimes less really is more when it comes to making an impact.
The Intricate Braid: A Work of Art
Breathtaking braid wraps around the head, falling into a sleek ponytail—a true testament to the art of braiding.
If you have thick long hair, this style will complement it beautifully by showcasing its intricacy. Fine-haired folks might need to employ clever braiding or add extensions for extra “oomph.”
