We enjoy dressing up in the summer. We prefer cute sandals, summer dresses, and sunglasses to scarves and gloves. What about summer hairstyles? We enjoy them as well. With the arrival of warm weather, we’re more likely to look for ways to pull our hair up and away from our faces, and there’s plenty of room to experiment and customize summer updos.
Remember that accessories are your new best friends when enhancing a simple updo. They’re also summery. Slides and clips are great accessories; ribbons around the ponytail can elevate it from everyday to something a little more special.
Here are 47 summer hairstyles that will withstand the heat and humidity while remaining fashionable.
1. A Mid-length Braid
This hairstyle is clean and sleek but also relaxed and straightforward to achieve. Make a mid-length plait or braid it in half, tie a ponytail, and prepare for your weekend plan.

Ponytails or loose hair can be dressed with rings and accessories for a modern look. Apply some fancy stuff to your pigtails or ponytails. You can also half-braid your hair and let the hair loose.

This ladder ponytail appears complicated, but it is simply a few extra rubber bands tied through your hair. This will allow you to feel non-sticky and light during hot days.
4. Feather Bun
Another way to experiment with the spiky bun is to keep the loose ends in one place, like a pretty feather detail. This looks chic and comfortable.
