Summer is here, and that means it’s time to switch up your hair game. Whether you’re planning a beach day, a picnic in the park, or just looking to stay cool while looking cute, having a few easy summer hairstyles up your sleeve is essential. Is your style feeling a little stale and are you searching for ideas on Pinterest in the hope of discovering a effortlessly stylish hairstyle? Well, I’ve got you covered! You will find a number of trendy, uncomplicated hairstyles that are specially made for people with medium, long or short hair. Also, I will give you some useful tips to keep your locks looking perfect throughout the season.
Wavy Blonde Balayage for Medium Length Hair
Whenever I picture the height of easy chic for summer, wavy blonde balayage is the look that immediately comes to mind. It bears the easygoing, sun-kissed waves for a natural and laid back summer do. The depth of balayage is achieved when lighter shades of blonde naturally blend into darker roots which is very flattering on medium length hair. Wavy hairstyles are particularly fantastic for light or thin hair types because they give you the perfect bounce and volume you desire.
The key to keeping this hairstyle’s appeal up during the summertime is choosing the right products. I would suggest the texturizing spray if you wish to keep those waves and not deal with weighty texture. Try Ouai Wave Spray—it actually does the trick for that effortless, beachy vibe with no crunchiness.
To be honest, I believe that this cut is extremely easy to handle. You can forget about the hassle of perfect curls and not be left with a curling wand for hours. Just a quick twist of the hair while it’s damp, a little product, and you’re good to go! Plus, it works whether you’re heading to brunch or just hanging out at home.
To add a little extra oomph, add a few face-framing highlights to your look. They accentuate your face wonderfully in the sun and provide your skin with a warm glow. This hairstyle really makes you feel like a summer goddess.
Textured Bob with Tousled Waves
The ultimate summer chic is the tousled waves of a textured bob. This cut is perfect for medium hair and for people who want to add more body and interest. The waves are supposed to be imperfect, to get that signature “wild and carefree” vibe that everyone loves. The ever so slightly irregular layers contribute to a more casual look and are particularly good for those with thick hair who wish to achieve a less heavy look.
My secret to keeping fresh waves is IGK Beach Club Texture Spray. It gives grip and structure but the hair is soft and flexible. It not only smells like a beach getaway, it’s a perk that is never overlooked.
For me, this hairstyle is all about embracing imperfection. You don’t have to get every wave just right. In fact, the more undone it looks, the better. If you are worried about frizz, only a few drops of Moroccanoil Smoothing Lotion will do the trick.
To add a little drama to your look, highlight areas within the waves slightly. And it’ll add texture and reflect the light just right, so you’ll get that sun-kissed, beachy look.
Sleek Low Bun with Claw Clip
Of all haircut types, the low sleek bun secured with a claw clip is an awesome summer cut in terms of style and practicality. It’s perfect for humid, sunny days because it enables you to keep your hair off your face. This versatile look can easily complement a polished style and is unbelievably easy to achieve, and is ideal for medium-length or long hair.
Bumble and bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer can make your sleek low bun look super smooth. It’s lightweight but gives you that perfect frizz-free finish. If you have finer hair, add some volume to your crown and then fasten the bun to make it look better.
To be completely honest, it is the versatility that makes me love this look. It looks fabulous slick for a dinner occasion or with loose hairs framed for a romantic night that is chic and casual. We can’t overlook the fact that claw clips are trending now. Choose from tortoiseshell or matte black and you’ll find a clip to match whatever you’re wearing.
Add a pop of color to your summer look with a claw clip. It’s an easy way to inject a little personality without being too much.
Space Buns with Face-Framing Pieces
Space buns aren’t just for music festivals; They are summery fun and will help you to embrace your inner stylish self. If you want to bring some happy and flirty vibes, this style is for you. This haircut goes well with both long and medium hair, and those face-framing parts add to the soft effortless look while adding some 90s charm.
Be sure to explore my guidelines to maintain long-lasting buns and begin with a spritz of Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo when styling in the process. It adds some texture and grip so that your buns don’t fall out. Not only that, it is a lifesaver during those hot summer days when you need an instant boost for your hair.
This style is actually perfect for impromptu weekends or leisurely summer afternoons by the pool. It’s cute, easy, and surprisingly practical. Glam up the style a little with some fun accessories such as pearl clips or metallic pins tucked into each bun. Even such a small addition as this gives the style a little more elegance.
Want to keep it cool and edgy? Apply Oribe Gel Sérum to the face-framing strands to give it a glossy, sheen common to summer chic.
Sleek Straight Hair with Minimalist Layers
At times, simplicity is the greatest expression. Classic summer styles such as smooth, sleek straight hair with little layering emphasize perfect smoothness and gorgeous shine. This hairstyle will accommodate straight medium length hair that touches the shoulders and longer styles and is great for the individuals wanting a quiet and elegant look.
The trick to achieving that glass-like finish? A product such as Redken Extreme Play Safe 450° is an excellent heat protectant serum. This product does not only protect your hair from heat damage, but it also makes it shine.
I think this style is ideal for those times when you need to look put together in a rush. All you need is just a few moments with a flat iron and a little serum. If you have fine hair, long layers will add a little lift without losing the sleek look.
I find that using a flat iron to turn the ends a little gives the hairstyle a subtle texture to avoid making it look too flat. This minor change actually changes the way the finished look looks.
High Ponytail with Textured Waves
A high ponytail with textured waves gives a nice combination of sophistication and relaxation that I always go for in the summer. It’s refined but fun and works for medium to long hair. The secret to this look is in the texture – relaxed, wavy style that emphasizes the carefree and cool girl attitude that will remain in fashion.
The product I always rely on to keep the waves in place throughout the day is Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Spray. This product gives your hair just the right texture without making it feel hard, and it smells like a fresh summer breeze.
It doesn’t get any better than this hairstyle on days when your hair will not cooperate in the humidity. The best part? This cut can be dressed up or left undone depending on how you feel. When going out in the evenings, I use Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment to smooth the top of my hair so that I can keep the look. It is great for preventing frizz and adds that high-shine gloss to the hair.
Create an easygoing daytime look by softly tugging at a few sections of your hair surrounding your face to make your face look softer. Even such a minor change can dramatically boost your look and add that easy summer touch.
Soft Pastel Waves for Medium Hair
Think about changing your routine this summer with soft pastel pink waves. It’s playful and elegant at the same time if it’s combined with soft, flowing waves. This summer hairstyle is designed for shoulder length medium hair and is especially helpful for those with thin hair who want some extra texture.
It is not easy to keep that soft pastel shade, but Overtone’s Pastel Pink Daily Conditioner is a must have. It tones just enough for a long-lasting, soft pink color.
For me, the best thing is that you can take this look throughout the day or even into the night. You can wear it loose and fluffy for brunch or add some Verb Sea Spray for a more edgy beachy look. A playful detail is to tease a piece of hair behind your ear and pin it with a sparkly clip – it’s a small, yet cool detail to any hairstyle.
Slick Center Part Low Bun
If you’re in a hurry to look put together, a sleek center part low bun is your best bet. The smooth and fuss-free design of this look makes it perfect for when the summer heat and humidity make it hard to manage your hair. In addition, it is suitable for people with medium to long hair.
To give a glimmering look, use Oribe Gel Sérum and brush it back after applying it from roots to ends. This product easily imparts a smooth, slick texture which is soft.
It is my favorite when my hair is misbehaving, but I want to look neat and chic. It’s sleek, sophisticated, and goes with literally any outfit. It is an understated way to polish the bun by adding a metallic claw clip. Although it may appear insignificant, it adds an air of sophistication to the whole style.
French Twist with a Tortoise Claw Clip
The ideal hairstyle that could be worn during both periods of fashion is the French twist held together with a claw clip. This is the perfect option for events when you want a hint of classic Hollywood glamour without having to do much. This look is best for medium or long hair, because the clip can hold everything in place perfectly.
To achieve effortlessly chic, you may want to try Amika Glass Action Universal Elixir. This product adds shine and smooths flyaways in a manner that leaves your hair soft and manageable.
What attracts me to this look is that it can be easily converted from a professional daytime look to a glamorous evening one by changing the accessory. You can immediately add an uptick to the entire look by replacing the tortoise clip with a gold one. And the best part? This look is equally appropriate for thin and thick hair and provides a lot of variety.
Low Bun with Soft Face-Framing Pieces
Avoid a youthful, simple, summer romance vibe by giving your hair a low bun with soft pieces framing your face. It’s simple, elegant, and incredibly easy to do. Medium to long hair is perfect for this specific look for anyone who is going for a cool but effortless chic vibe.
To make sure those face-framing pieces remain soft and move effortlessly, I suggest Ouai Matte Pomade. It’s just enough to hold your hair in place without leaving any residue or feeling heavy.
The thing I like best about this hairstyle is its versatility. If you’re going out, you may go for a glossy look, but a playful touch to the bun will be perfect for a laid back bohemian style. If you’re in the mood for something more luxurious, a few dainty hairpins or a pearl clasp is an easy way to go there. Such a small addition can easily turn a look from a relaxed one into an effortlessly glamorous one.
Center Part with Mini Braids
For an edgy yet understated summer look; center parted mini braids are just the thing. It is a modern salute to the traditional bob with just an element of individuality without compromising the look. This style works well with medium-straight or thin hair, and you will have a textured, boho look without losing the neatness.
To keep your braids from falling out without adding unnecessary weight, you may want to use Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Working Serum. It’s not heavy, but it works, providing a smooth, shiny finish that doesn’t feel heavy.
Personally, I love how versatile this look is. You may want to leave the rest of your hair totally straight for a sophisticated high fashion look or create loose waves for a less formal beachy look. The other cute idea is to strand in a couple of hair rings or charms, which will give the braids a cute sparkle.
Sleek Blonde Lob with Soft Ends
It doesn’t get more sophisticated for summer than a polished blonde lob with soft, feather-like ends. Ideal for the person who wants a fashionable, but easy-to-maintain hairstyle, this look really delivers. Perfect for medium-length hair that extends a little past the shoulders this style can easily be worn as a sleek or softly rounded affair for a pulled together cart-drawn look.
To keep a smooth, shiny appearance, one must use a product such as Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum to fight frizz. It protects the ends and prevents frizz due to summer heat, and adds an extra glow to your hair.
The ease of this look means that it is ideal for times when you don’t want to overdo pulled-together look. You can also opt for a touch of glamour for the evening just by tucking one side behind your ear and wearing a dramatic earring.
Double Dutch Braids with Ribbon Ties
Double Dutch braids are a summer must, taking your hair off your face while still looking put together. This look featuring its whimsical touch with ribbon ties at the ends is excellent for a quick getaway or for a fun day by the pool.
In order to maintain the braids looking neat and polished, using Mielle Organics Pomegranate & Honey Leave-In Conditioner before you start braiding. It maintains your hair’s moisture and makes it light, and makes your braids look beautiful and polished.
This style suits me on summer days when I’d rather not bother with my hair. And the best part? Try your own style by substituting the ribbons for metallic cords and colorful scrunchies to make it a unique one.
Wet Look Waves
If you wish to give that classic post-swim look a go, then go for wet look waves. Ideal for medium to long hair and it really does work well for anyone with natural kinks or wavy texture. It’s effortlessly sexy and surprisingly easy to pull off.
Get the ideal wet look without drying or heavy products with Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel. Humidity Gel. It enhances your curls, removes frizz and provides a perfect wet look without any sticky sensation.
One of the biggest perks of this style is that it flows seamlessly from a beachy look to a night out. If you want to achieve a more polished look, just slick the waves back; if you want to keep it cool and loose, gently separate the strands with fingertips. A hint of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine at the ends adds a little extra shine to your waves in the sun, giving them a healthy, glowing look.
Soft Waves with Bold Face-Framing Highlights
If you are looking for a summer glow, soft waves with bold face-framing highlights are the way to go. No matter if you have long or medium-length hair, this look enhances the brightness around your face, while keeping your hair rich and dimensional in the rest of your hair.
To get a little more texture and luminosity, I always reach for Redken Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame Leave-In Cream. The product maintains the shade’s appearance polished and cohesive, while providing brightening.
Choose this look on days when you want your hair loose, but don’t want to look too casual. When you go out in the evening, add IGK Beach Club Texture Spray to increase the volume and movement of your waves without adding weight.
Big, Voluminous Curls
Among the easiest summer hairstyles to make people look at you, big voluminous curls are number one. It is all about improving the look of your natural curls and ensuring they shine. It is designed for thick or curly hair and defines the aura of confidence and strong-mindedness.
DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler is the best product for frizz-free and bouncy curls all day. It’s very moisturizing and defines curls without any crunch.
The thing that I like about this look is its versatility, as it can easily switch from day casual looks to glamorous night outfits almost immediately. Spray a little shine spray and gently tousle your curls to get that laid back finished look. Add little braids to the look, cleverly scattered around it, for a little boho-chic touch.
Curly High Puff with a Headband
For when you’d rather have your curls up and off your face, a high puff held in place by a headband is your best option. Simple, classy, and great to wear during hot summer days when you can not put your hair down.
What I use to help keep the puff neat and tangle-free is Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream. It’s hydrating and not heavy, and the curls look full and lively.
What I find interesting about this hairstyle is its versatility. Choose a casual headband in black or a touch of nature with flowers, or a patterned scarf or a gorgeous crystal headband. And the best part? This look is flexible enough to suit fine and thick hair, and it is a universal favourite.
Space Buns with Sleek Edges
Space buns are back and better than ever. Now, they are all about getting a smooth, glossed look with loose, gentle waves. It’s fun and elegant, suitable for long and medium hair.
Eco Style Olive Oil Gel is a good choice for an easy bun without flyaways. It has strong hold and non-flaking shine ideal for sleek edges.
This style is actually fun to wear when going to festivals in the summer or just hanging out on relaxed weekends. You can make your style more interesting by adding some glitter or hair rings to the buns. If you want a messier look, all you have to do is untie the buns to have wavy hair whenever you want.
Elegant Top Knot with Sleek Edges
There is never a bad time to dress your hair into a top knot for summer. It’s super trendy, classy, and ideal for those times when you have to look put together in a minute. People with medium to long hair will find this look more beneficial as the bun enhances the volume.
If you are looking for a perfect polished look, you can’t go wrong with Murray’s Edge Wax. It secures baby hairs in place and maintains the bun looking neat and shiny without the oiliness.
This cut is very appropriate for me on evenings out or for high-end dining. It’s elegant but not overdone. To take it up a notch, you could also wear a statement earring, or a gold hairpin to draw attention to your look.
Blunt Bob with Glossy Finish
This summer, a sleek, glossy blunt bob is the perfect look for the understated elegance lover. The look has sharp edges with the brilliant shine that is associated with a professional salon finish. This style is perfect for medium length hair or for those who are looking for easily maintained and clean looking styles regardless if your hair is fine or thick.
Biosilk Silk Therapy Original is the best product for maximum shine. Just a few drops are enough to soothe the cuticles and give you the reflective shine you desire.
This style to me is the epitome of carefree chic. If a slick runway feel is your preference, keep it slick and straight, but if you want to achieve a more romantic and softer effect, experiment with putting one of your side’s hair behind your ear. A middle part and glasses the size of sunglasses perfectly complete the sumer look on the hottest days.
Sleek Low Ponytail: Summer Shine and Sophistication
Midsummer calls for a ponytail hairstyle packed for power as it a mirror-like reflection coupled with glassy shine serves as a slim ponytail full of vigor. This look works best for medium to long hair that has been straightened to perfection and provides an extremely chic essence which is effortless. One of the most striking features of this look is its touch of sophistication complemented with the gloss shine.

Adding flair to hair and transforming looks is the ease with which these simple steps can be done. Exiting the house means looking good, but with a gold cuff or jeweled clip replacing a plain ponytail holder turns effortless glam. For an extra dose of edge, the ends can be dramatically twirled out with a flat iron.
