Summer Hairstyles and Haircuts for Women

The sweet, sultry air of summer goes hand-in-hand with windswept waves, boho braids, and layered haircuts.

With long days and humid nights ahead, you’ll need sun-sational summer hairstyles that embrace the freedoms of the season.

So, go ahead – indulge. Take a look at the hottest hair trends summer has to offer:

Braided Summer Hairstyles

Half Crown Braid

The half crown braid is the perfect summer hairstyle for keeping hair out of the face and in the spotlight.

If french braiding isn’t in your repertoire, try its twisted sister counterpart. Instead of braiding, simply twist the hair back from each side, then pin into place.

Butterfly Fishtail Braid

This braided hairstyle is great for loose, low hanging hairstyles that don’t tug or pull the hair.

Start with your normal part, then pull back hair from both sides of the head, and secure it neatly in place with a small plastic band. You’ll then begin your fish braid; once complete, simply lock in the braid with another small plastic band, and snip the previous one that was holding the hair in place.

Best Summer Updo – The Braided Bun

Also known as the upsidedown french braid, this hairstyle is ideal for keeping the hair off the neck during the hot days of summer.

Bonus points if you add a bow.

French Braid Fringe

Ladies who are growing out your bangs, listen up!

This summer hairstyle is great for long and short hair lengths, or just about anyone who doesn’t want frizzy bangs blocking their view.
