The Laid-back Luxe
This look is all about the relaxed yet luxurious waves that give off a wavy, beachy vibe. The long hair is styled with a carefree elegance, making it perfect for both a casual day out or a more sophisticated evening event. It’s the epitome of an easy and pretty summer look that’s effortless to wear and stunning in its simplicity.
To maintain these luscious waves, a salt spray like Bumble and bumble’s Surf Spray can add texture without drying out your locks. And to keep the color as bright and sunlit as a July afternoon, a color-safe shampoo and conditioner duo is a must—think along the lines of the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner.
The High-Volume Bun
Sky-high and full of volume, this bun is a statement piece, defying gravity with its bold and aesthetic appeal. It’s a cute and playful style that can easily take you from a workout session to a night out with friends. This style is particularly flattering for those with long or medium hair, though those with short hair can achieve a similar look with the help of extensions and a bit of teasing.
A volumizing powder, such as the Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast, can add lift at the roots, while a lightweight hairspray will keep it in place without compromising the bounce.
The Textured Blonde Bun
A study in texture and movement, this blonde bun isn’t just an updo; it’s a statement. With its carefree twist and playful strands, it’s a modern nod to the classic chignon, making it an ideal choice for an elegant event or a chic casual outing. This style is particularly flattering for those with medium to long hair and can be a versatile option for women seeking an easy, yet aesthetic summer look.
Maintaining this textured bun could involve a texturizing spray, like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, to add volume and hold without stiffness. For a sunlit blonde like this, regular toning with a purple conditioner can keep the color fresh and vibrant.
The Sleek and Shiny Ponytail
This ponytail is the epitome of sleek sophistication. The long, straight hair is pulled back into a lustrous tail that exudes a pretty, polished vibe. It’s an easy and elegant choice for anyone with long hair, and even those with shorter lengths can achieve this look with the help of a smoothing blowout and a few well-placed extensions.
To keep this ponytail sleek and shiny, a serum such as the Moroccanoil Treatment can provide both the shine and the frizz control necessary for such a look. A few drops should be enough to give that glass-like sheen.
The Regal Wave
Embracing the blonde bombshell vibe, this hairstyle features a side-swept look with voluptuous waves that exude a regal quality. It’s perfect for those special summer occasions where you want to feel like royalty. This style works wonders for those with long or medium hair and is particularly flattering for women looking to showcase a light and pretty hair color with depth and movement.
To achieve these stunning waves, a good heat protectant is a must before curling, and a flexible hold hairspray will ensure your waves hold their shape without looking stiff.
The Sophisticated Soft Wave
This style is sophistication personified with its soft, flowing waves that provide a subtle yet impactful look. It’s a versatile hairstyle that’s as suitable for a day at the office as it is for a night out. It’s particularly beneficial for those with long hair looking to add a touch of elegance to their everyday style.
The key to these waves is a good curling iron or wand and a light touch with a styling spray that will hold the curls in place while keeping them soft to the touch.
The Hollywood Siren Waves
This style is reminiscent of the classic Hollywood sirens, with deep waves that exude sophistication and a bygone era’s glamour. The smooth, swept-back top transitions into voluptuous waves, providing an air of elegance that’s timeless. This look is best suited for those with long hair who wish to make a bold statement at any upscale event or soirée.
Maintaining the luster and form of these waves could involve using a heat protectant before styling, followed by a strong-hold, flexible hairspray to ensure the waves stay defined and luxurious throughout the day.
The Curly Blonde Ambition
This look is for the bold and the beautiful who aren’t afraid to let their hair down. It showcases long, curly locks with a playful bounce, embodying the free spirit of the summer. The blonde curls, highlighted by a splash of sunshine, are enough to light up any room.
For those with naturally curly hair, a curl-enhancing cream or mousse will help define each spiral and provide hold without stiffness. For those with straighter strands, a curling iron and a good dose of texturizing spray will recreate this buoyant style.
These final hairstyles celebrate the essence of summer with their own unique stories, just as each individual will carry them into the world with a personal touch. Whether it’s a refined wave or an uninhibited curl, these styles are about expressing one’s self through the playful canvas of hair, under the long, warm days of the sunniest season.
