The sun is shining, the beaches are packed and women around the country are at war with their hair. Whether their long and luscious locks lead to excessive sweating or the humidity-induced frizz proves to be too much to manage, summer heat often warrants a new hairstyle. To beat the heat in style, ditch the traditional ponytail and opt for one of these seven hot summer hairstyles:
- The Angled Bob – Best for Round Faces
Traditionally, the angled bob is short in the back and gradually increases in length towards the front. The look offers the benefits of short locks without restricting styling options. Celebrities Victoria Beckham, Taylor Swift and Kate Gosselin have all sported this hairdo.
- The Pixie Cut – Best for Heart and Oval Faces
The pixie cut is a daringly short hairdo ideal for those who seek a truly wash-and-go style. Little effort is needed to maintain this style, which is likely the reason that starlets with hectic lifestyles, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Keira Knightley and Winona Ryder, have all embraced the pixie cut.
- The Messy Bun – Suitable for Every Face Shape
For those with frizz-prone hair, humidity can make styling nearly impossible in the dead of summer. Fortunately, the messy bun is still a go-to, trendy style often displayed by celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez. Simply gather the hair at the top of the head, twist the length into a bun, and secure.
- Beachy Waves – Suitable for Every Face Shape
Nothing says summer hair quite like beachy waves. Take Kate Hudson’s tousled locks, for example. This hairdo requires little maintenance. In fact, the messier it looks, the better.
- Small Braids – Suitable for Every Face Shape
Braiding a few select pieces of hair breathes new life into your tried-and-true style. This look works well with straight or wavy hair and has been spotted on Bohemian fashionista Mary-Kate Olsen.
- The High Ponytail – Suitable for Every Face Shape
Best for longer locks, the high ponytail is the ultimate solution for beating the summer heat. Simply form the ponytail on the top of the head instead of in the back. Worn by starlets like Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian, this look will be one of the hottest summer hairstyles for 2017.
- The Low Chignon – Best for Square-Shaped Faces
The low chignon is essentially a bun that sits directly on the back of the neck. It is much more polished than a messy bun, making it ideal for summer weddings. The low chignon is a chic red-carpet hit for actress Eva Longoria, among others.
