37 easy summer hairstyles that are ideal for when the weather heats up

Warm weather may create obstacles for our hair (looking at you, humidity), but if you ask us summer hairstyles are pretty much our favourite moment in the calendar for fun, experimental styles. There’s no need to hibernate beneath long layers, instead we’re challenged to lift our hair up and out the way so we can keep cool, while looking even cooler. That’s why the season is prime hunting ground for the cutest hairspo.

If your styling repertoire is limited but you want something fresh, there are plenty of styles that will see you straight and look stunning – without having to spend too much time on them, or learning complicated hairdressing techniques. Plus there’s tons of ways to personalise your summer updo to you and your style.

A huge trend for summer 2023, is the XXL braid, and we mean the easy kind. Simple three strand plaits are everywhere right now (we’ve seen them all over the red carpet) and they’re an actual breeze to do. To give it more impact, the length has been supersized, but even if you create a mini version, the key is to keep the crown snatched.
