25 Summer Hairstyles For When You Just Can’t With The Weather

I’ll be the first to admit that ever since I can remember, my go-to summer hairstyle has either been a ponytail or a bun—all wrapped up using a hair tie.

But we’re not children or teenagers anymore, and in case you didn’t know, there’s a world of other summertime hairstyles that are anything but boring or hard to do.

You can mix and match them with your outfits so you can have fun all summer long.

Some summer hairdos can even cut your styling routine in half as they air dry beautifully.

And the best hair accessory to pair with your summer hairstyle? No, it’s not a silk hair scrunchie (although those are good, too, as they won’t damage your hair), it’s The Halo!

Created for and by people with thin hair, our halo hair extensions will give your summer hairstyle the perfect amount of volume and length.

Whether you have short, medium, or long hair, you can find your next hairstyle in summer here.

1. French Bob

Start your summer on a chic note by getting a French bob. It’s the ideal length when you’re out and about under the hot sun—it sits right above your neck, so it’s free to breathe and feel the wind. Phew!

2. Twisted Braid


There’s no need to sacrifice your hair’s length in summer; you can just simply braid it. Unlike a regular braid, a twisted one is easier and quicker to do.

Tie the whole thing with a cute clip or scrunchie, and you’ve got a simple and easy hairstyle.
