Summer is so close we can taste it! It’s almost time to pull out our summer wardrobe, plan our vacation days and try out trendy summer hairstyles. Low maintenance styles are key for the warmer weather. We want to look cute and chic but we don’t want to be spending our time doing our hair when we could be drinking rosé (or diet coke) on a patio. We have a feeling that if you’re reading this you can relate. Take a look at 11 low maintenance summer hairstyles for 2025.
11 Low Maintenance Summer Hairstyles for 2025
4 Low Maintenance Summer Hairstyles for Short Hair
1. Quick and Easy Beach Waves | @CereCampbell
Beach waves are a quintessential summer hairstyle for any hair length, but especially short hair. They look incredibly chic on bob-length locks and are super low maintenance. She starts by using a blow out brush on her hair to dry it, then uses a flat iron to get the waves. She finishes off with a hair oil to set the style and prevent frizz.
2. Seashell Clipped Back Hairstyle
We love a clipped-back hairstyle, especially for short hair, and this seashell claw clip is the perfect accessory for summer. If you have naturally wavy hair, all you have to do is pull your hair back into a half-up look or if you don’t, you can create waves with a curling or flat iron. Use a texture spray to maintain texture and set the style.
3. How I Do a Quick Slick Bun on Short Hair | @Laura Byrnes
A slick back bun is perfect for hot, humid summer days and she shows you how to get the look with a short bob. She applies a healthy dose of hair oil to help slick her hair back and secures her bun with a clear elastic, scrunchie and hair clip. She spritzes hairspray all over her strands to keep the look locked in place.
4. 90s Blowout
A 90s blowout is quick and simple when you have short hair. And there are numerous ways to get the look so you can choose what’s easiest for you. You can use a round brush and blow dryer, a blow out brush or hair rollers. Use a mousse and styling cream on damp hair before styling and hairspray to set the style. This hairstyle will look good for days and is easy to revive if it falls flat!
3 Low Maintenance Summer Hairstyles for Medium Hair
1. The Cutest Summer Hairstyle | @nikiivictoria
This braided hairstyle is so cute, easy and perfect for summer. She creates French braided pigtails, secures them with clear elastics and finishes the look off with white ribbons, which adds a lovely, feminine touch. You can do this hairstyle on straight, wavy or curly hair- no need to style it beforehand!
2. Bubble Pigtails
This hairstyle only takes a couple of minutes and is the perfect combination of chic and cute. It will keep your hair off your face and neck, which is ideal for hot summer days. After parting your hair down the middle, start by putting your hair into pigtails, then create bubbles by placing elastics down your pigtails, equal distance from each other. Use a hair serum at the end to keep flyaways and frizz under control.
3. Messy Space Buns
Space buns are such a fun summer hairstyle that you can wear from festivals to patio drinks to cottage weekends. Part your hair down the middle and gather each side into high-ish pigtails at the back of your head. Create messy buns and secure them with elastics and bobby pins if needed. Use hair oil for a slick back look.
4 Low Maintenance Summer Hairstyles for Long Hair
1. Quick Refresh of My Go-To Waves | @elannapecherle
This hairstyle is so gorgeous and perfect for summer days. She uses products like the Dae Heat Protection Styling Mist, the Living Proof Volume and Texture Spray and a wide-tooth comb to relax the curls. It’s super simple and you can use your curling tool of choice!
2. Double Braided Low Ponytail
Double braided ponytails are having a moment and this variation looks incredibly chic. Start by pulling your hair back into a low ponytail. Use hair wax to get a slicked back look. Divide your ponytail into two equal sections and braid them both, securing the bottoms of the braids with clear elastics. It takes almost no time at all and keeps your hair off your face.
3. Tiny Braided Hairstyle | @leslieecatherine
This hairstyle is perfect for the days you want to wear your hair down but keep it off your face. The tiny braids are super trendy and all you need is clear elastics for this hairstyle. You can also give your hair a soft wave with a curling iron and add finishing spray at the end to help prevent frizz.
4. Half-Up Claw Clip
If you have long hair and curtain bangs, a half-up claw clip style is a no brainer. It looks absolutely darling and is a look you can wear from day to night. Style your bangs with a round brush and blow dryer to get the flipped out look and use a flat iron to add a curve to the end of your locks like she has.
These summer hairstyles are cute, chic and get your hair out of your face. Try them for casual summer days, travelling or romantic summer nights.
