Summer is the perfect time to try out light, practical look, —even when it’s 35 degrees in the shade. Whether it’s a simple braid or a last-minute bun, why not make it a bit cooler? Here are the summer hairstyles to copy right now: fresh, easy, and heat-proof.
Anti-heat hairstyles
Ballerina bun
@mimithemortician slick back bun routine!!! feeling like a ballerina again
The ballerina bun is a timeless classic. Elegant, sleek, and super practical, it’s the perfect ally on hot days or whenever you want a neat look in just a few minutes. Just gather your hair into a high ponytail (or low, if you prefer a chicer touch), twist it into itself, and secure it with pins or a hair tie. The best part? It always works: whether you're rushing out, dealing with slightly dirty hair, or simply want it off your neck. Keep it tight and sleek for a clean-girl effect, or leave it a bit looser and tousled for a softer, romantic vibe.

The Medusa ponytail is one of those super easy hairstyles that still make a statement. It’s a playful twist on the classic high ponytail, with an original touch: the hair is divided into as many sections as the "tentacles" (aka braids) you want to create. The result? A practical, summery hairstyle that adds instant personality to your outfit. Easy to create, it’s perfect for festivals, seaside nights, or any time you want something fun without the fuss.
French twist
@vannavvanna Replying to @Alexa Rae I can do a voice over as well <3 hope this helps!! #frenchhairpin #frenchhair #hairinspo #hairtutorial #hairideas #winterhair #pinteresthair #frenchtwist Sensual - Piero Piccioni
The French twist is the perfect hairstyle when you want an elegant touch with minimal effort. It’s the iconic updo Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, while window-shopping with a croissant in hand, radiating timeless diva vibes. You create it by twisting your hair inward into a vertical shell shape and securing everything with pins or a special clip. Keep it tight and polished for a sleek finish, or for a more effortless, Parisian-inspired feel, let a few strands fall loose here and there.

The '90s twisted bun is the cooler version of the classic bun: hair is twisted into itself and wrapped into a sleek chignon, then secured with pins or mini clips. It might take a bit of patience, but trust us—it’s totally worth it!
Not your Basic braids...
@carlybri Wrapped Ribbon Braids ⋆
Summer calls for braids, but they can easily feel boring or overdone. Whether you go for one or two, French, Dutch or fishtail, the real trick is in the accessories! Go wild with colorful ribbons, hair jewelry, charms, or cute elastics—just a few little details can turn a basic braid into a true summer statement.
