Hello, Gorgeous! Hope you’re having a fabulous summer!
Summertime calls for easy style and your hair is no exception! Why spend hours in the bathroom getting ready, when a more laid-back hairstyle is totally more fitting for the scorching heat? Read on for some great styles that are incredibly easy, and have that cool easy-going summer vibe, each taking only minutes to do!
Score some super easy beautiful tool-free, summer-style hairstyles with these looks below!
1. An Easy Braid – Side braids, braids down the back, fishtail braids, french braids – The possibilities are endless and you can easily do a different braid each day of the week! Here’s a fun take on the traditional braid:
A Chic Horizontal French Braid with Chignon:
How to get the look: Start on the right side gathering hair in the center of the head. Start a braid from the right going left, pulling in new pieces as you go for that french-braid look. Bobby pin along to keep hair tight and in place! Finish by twisting the hair into a cute bun on the left side behind the ear.
2. A Classic Chignon. The chignon doesn’t have to just be straight back on the middle of your head. Vary it up by placing it in a big bun on top, a small slicked back bun on the bottom or a loose beautiful chignon on the side below the ear.
Vary up the classic bun/chignon look by tying different types of knots, pulling some pieces over and around and tucking in at the bottom. Don’t be afraid to get creative here and use some fun hair pieces! Chopsticks look great and so does a beautiful barrette or jeweled hair comb tucked right under the chignon.
3. A Chic Ponytail: Like the braids, so many different ponytails can be styled to vary up your look daily, even while keeping your look simple! Low pony’s, mid pony’s, high pony’s. Slicked back sexy pony’s, or loose, curly, voluminous pony’s
A classic pony is always in style and works great on dirty hair days too! Just be sure to use some Dry Shampoo first to give some new life to your hair before styling!
4. Easy Waves. It’s so easy to get a beautiful, natural laid-back – I just got back from the beach – wavy summer hairstyle. Let hair air dry out of the shower, scrunch in some Waves Sea Salt Spray and you’re good to go! It’s that easy and that time-saving!
5. Work One of Your Previous Looks to Make Your Second Day Hair Look. Remember that sideways braid I did earlier? I pulled it out before bed, tied up in a loose bun on the top of my head, and woke to these beautiful curls the next morning! Yep, this look required absolutely no extra styling! You could use a Styling Cream to set the look, but I found my hair stayed in place perfectly all day after being placed in a tight braid the entire day before!
Happy Styling!

I tend to go with ponytails.
Good tips but I need to wait when my hair will grow up again! I’m on the middle. It’s completely messy . I dream about ponytail or braid!
The side braid looks amazing! I’m not sure if I’d be able to master it but I’m hoping I can. 🙂
I am telling you I cant do a french braid on myself to save my life. I end up with a complete mess that never stays istoo loose. Yours looks terrific I am envious.
I just pull it up and hold it with a big hair clip These are some beautiful hairstyles
Such pretty hairstyles! They would be so comfortable to wear too
Thanks Susan! xoxo
