Summer is unlike any other season when it comes to keeping our tendrils looking flawless. For most of us, especially here in Florida, the weather plays a big role in our chosen hairstyle on any given day. Those with locks who frizz up at the slightest hint of humidity may feel locked into a basic ponytail while those who spend a lot of time in the scorching sun may opt for an ultra-short pixie cut to avoid excessive sweating. By looking to some of the leading ladies of Hollywood; however, we can gain inspiration for hairstyles that can withstand the heat and humidity that summer brings. Discover these celebrity hairstyles for summer and say goodbye to the basic ponytails and pixie cuts you’ve grown accustomed to:
1. The Long Lob
The long lob, made famous in the 90s, has proven to be a go-to summer haircut for some of the biggest names in Hollywood this year, such as pop royalty Katy Perry. The collarbone grazing haircut is low maintenance yet looks flawless on nearly all face shapes. Likewise, the length means that it is still possible to pull it up in a ponytail or wear it down without causing excessive sweating.
2. Low Buns
For those who want to keep their cut the same for summer, there are endless styling options sported by celebrities. One of the most popular is the low bun—the signature style of fashion icon Meghan Markle. With this look, the bun is formed at the nape of the neck instead of on the top of the head as has been seen in recent years and a few loose tendrils are left to frame the face in front. This look easily transfers from the office to an after-hours pool party making it a top choice for those with jam packed schedules.
3. Beachy Waves
A summer favorite for years, beachy waves once again top the list as a favorite hairstyle of Hollywood bombshells—a la Blake Lively. This mermaid inspired look can be achieved on hair of any length but looks particularly striking on long locks. These loose waves can be created through several techniques including loose overnight braids, with a curling iron or simply by spritzing damp hair with a sea salt or texturizing spray.
4. Scrunchie Adorned Ponytail
Scrunchies recently made their way back into mainstream fashion and celebrities are embracing them for summer. Perhaps one of the easiest styles is a high ponytail that is secured in place with a velvet scrunchie. It requires little effort, stays in place despite the heat and looks fantastic on anyone as has been showcased by stars like Miley Cyrus.
5. Space Buns
If you are looking for a fun style that will also aid in beating the heat, look no further than the space bun trend. This look has been sported by some of Hollywood’s most elite this summer, including Kendall Jenner. To get the bubbly look, simply part your hair straight down the middle and create two loose buns (high, with one on each side of the head). Its simplicity and versatility make it a go-to for outdoor adventures like hiking or lounging poolside.
6. The Wet Look
Starlets like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian have fully embraced the wet look this season. It is a fantastic way to fight frizz and gives the illusion that you are straight out of the shower or pool regardless of what the occasion is. This fresh look only requires a high-gloss pomade or gel—you can even let it air dry to give your strands a break from the blow-dryer.
