I am very guilty of the everyday top knot. It has a way of making you look “casual chic” with minimal-to-no effort. But this summer, I’m challenging myself and our readers to move beyond the top knot. These 9 easy summer hairstyles will help keep you cool and looking fierce all at the same time.
A soft, loose ponytail with an oversized organza bow is a romantic way to pull your hair back.
Hair kerchiefs are going to see a major uptick this summer. It’s a fun, easy way to add an accessory to your look.
Face-framing mini braids give your style a bit of texture and interest.
A soft headband is a must during the summer months. Use it with your hair down or pull it up in a messy twist and pull out a few tendrils to frame your face.
A super-high pony is a fun “I Dream of Jeannie” look with just a hint of ’80s vibes.
Braided pigtails look stylish and effortless when you keep it loose and unpolished. Braid it about half the way down for a carefree vibe.
If you have shorter hair, getting it up during warmer months can be tricky. A cute pair of clips can help pull back bangs you’re growing out or just help keep hair off your face.
If you have long hair, play around with a “bubble” pony. It’s just a regular ponytail sectioned off loosely along the length of your hair. Bonus points if you doctor it up with fun accessories.
Spice up your pony by swapping out your ponytail holder with a pretty claw clip. This is a great option for those with fine or medium hair.
