I tame flyaways with a little IGK Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm, and then I go over the ends with a flat iron for the littlest bit of shape.
This one’s ideal for work-to-date transitions. It’s so simple but feels polished, like you’re in a perfume ad without even trying.
If you have medium length hair and you need a go-to look for humid afternoons – make it this.
Space Buns with Precision Edges
Okay, this one? Pure fun. The slick middle part, the sharp buns, and the swooped baby hairs are giving all the TikTok baddie heat. And surprisingly – it is one of those simple summer hairstyles that are wearable even when the temps are high. I love it for short hair simple or people with thick hair that has to be off the shoulders.
Use Mielle Rosemary Mint Edge Gel for those swirls—it’s sticky in a good way and doesn’t flake.
What I love is the fact that this style gives you energy. As if you are about to get on stage or simply own your day with confidence.
It is giving cool girl energy and I am very here for it.
Half-Up Bun on Loose Waves
There’s something universally flattering about a half-up bun. It gives you height, it shows off your cheekbones, and it keeps your hair out of your face without having to do a full updo. This is one of my favorite easy summer hairstyles for medium hair – playful, modern and surprisingly versatile.
I prefer to curl only the bottom layers with a T3 curling wand for those soft bends, and then twist the top up and secure with a mini scrunchie or pins.
It’s the type of style that is appropriate for brunch and errands, which is, to be honest, a regular in my weekly rotation.
For medium hair simple, it adds just the right amount of flair without having to over-style.
Modern Claw Clip Twist
The claw clip renaissance is not going anywhere, and this is one of the proofs. It’s sleek, it’s put together, and literally takes seconds to do. Perfect for easy summer hairstyles claw clip, especially when your hair’s clean but you’re not in the mood to curl, flat iron, or even brush.
I always spritz a little Kristin Ess Dry Finish Working Texture Spray beforehand – it provides grip without grit and keeps the clip in place.
This style says “cool girl running errands” but make it Pinterest-worthy. It is good for thin hair as well if you tease the base a little before clipping.
Low effort, high reward. Isn’t that what summer hair should be?
Messy Pony with a Bang Twist
There’s always something about a messy ponytail that is so effortlessly real and this one gets it right. Slightly undone in the best way, this pony is dragged back low and casual, and face-framing strands give it softness and a bit of mystery. If you have short thin hair or bangs that are growing out, this style is about to become your hair savior.
Dry shampoo such as Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean provides it with the right amount of grip and volume, especially if you’re going for the lived-in texture.
I wear this on days when I want to look cool but not try-hard. You know what I mean—just toss it up, add hoops, and you’re good.
This is one of those simple summer hairstyles for short hair that makes you feel like you, but a little bit better.
Power Ponytail with Major Lift
This sleek high pony is oozing “main character energy” in the best possible way. Pulled in tight at the crown with volume cascading down, it’s glam without feeling dated. Just perfect for simple summer hairstyles for long hair that require drama, polish, and no effort at all.
I love wrapping a small piece of hair around the base to conceal the elastic – just spray with Got2B Glued Spray for hold that isn’t going anywhere.
It’s a red-lip, city-night-out kind of style. But honestly? I’ve also used this to the gym when I want to appear as if I have my life together.
If you haven’t tried a power pony yet this summer, then what are you waiting for?
Soft Layers with Sunset Color
This look? It’s basically a mood board for summer. The bright, fiery orange color combined with soft face-framing layers gives medium hair a lot of glow. It’s daring but surprisingly wearable, and the texture is light enough to go with the wind.
If you are keeping a vibrant color such as this, Overtone Orange for Vibrant Hair is your best friend. It keeps the color punchy between salon visits.
I love the way this haircut gives freedom while still maintaining shape. It’s easy to style and even easier to love.
Color such as this stops traffic in the best possible way – and summer is the time to sparkle.
French Braid Accent on a Short Bob
This one is a gem for short hair round faces – a clean bob with a side-swept French braid gives instant edge. It keeps the hair off the face while at the same time giving you that cool intricate detail without full commitment. Bonus? It grows out beautifully.
