These chic hairstyles will get your hair up and away from your face and neck while keeping you looking and feeling cool.

A top knot is always a good idea in the summer, especially when accessorized with a fun silk scrunchie and face-framing tendrils.

On the flipside, you can do a loose side braid and add in your favorite hair scarf for some extra texture.

An oversized claw clip looks as effortless as the style actually is. Make sure to leave some pieces loose around your face for a perfectly unpolished look.

Spruce up a regular low pony with some fun accessories and layers. After you secure your ponytail, clip the length into a loop going upward for a stylish vibe.

A sleek center part elevates a low ponytail to an entirely different level. This is a great option if you have shorter hair as well.

Milkmaid braids are another one of my go-to styles. It is so easy to do and yet still makes you look pulled together and like you actually made an effort.

Are you blessed with bountiful curls? An oversized statement scrunchie makes the perfect accessory for taming your tresses and keeping you nice and cool on hot days.

Bring your hair into a low bun and pull out a few pieces for texture. Add your favorite hair scarf on top and you’ve got an instantly boho style that’s perfect for summer.
