Summer days are just around the corner, and we don’t know about you, but we’re just as excited for our summer hairstyles as we are for our outfits. There’s something about the summer season that allows you to be more creative with your locks. It’s a fun and carefree time of year where styles like bubble braids and accessories like butterfly clips aren’t out of place. If you’re looking for cute and easy summer hairstyles for 2024, we’ve got you covered!
5 Short Summer Hairstyles for 2024
1. Double Barrette
This hairstyle could not be easier to do and the result is oh, so chic. All you have to do is clip back your hair with two barrettes and spritz some wave spray to give your hair some hold and texture. This hairstyle works to get the front pieces of your hair out of your face and is perfect to wear from the beach to a farmers’ market to all your summer festivals!
2. Super Cute Short Hairstyles | Milabu
These three hairstyles are all super cute and perfect for the summer months. With two braided styles and one top bun style, these up dos will get your hair out of your face for hot and humid days. Her hair already has a slight wave in it, which you can get with a flat iron, and other than that, all you need is clear elastics, bobby pins, and a French hair pin.
3. 90s Flipped Out Ends
We love the look of flipped out ends, especially for summer. It’s a flirty, fun vibe you can dress up or down, but you’ll always look put together. You can use a round brush with a blow dryer to flip out your ends, or a heat styling brush. Add a few spritzes of hairspray to ensure it stays throughout the day!
6 Medium Summer Hairstyles for 2024
1. Tiny Braids with Waves
This is such a gorgeous summer hairstyle that’s quite simple to do. Use a curling iron to create a soft wave in your hair, then take the two front pieces and create small, tight braids at the front of your face. Secure them with clear elastics, add some texture spray, and you’re good to go! This look is pretty and romantic, so it’s perfect for summer date nights!
2. Four Summer Hairstyles with Butterfly Clips | Hannah Forcier
These butterfly clip hairstyles are cute, easy, and wearable all throughout summer! They require minimal effort yet still look amazing. Butterfly clips are great if you don’t like wearing elastics in your hair, plus they’re super fun! She shows you how to do a butterfly crown, butterfly braids, butterfly buns, and butterfly bubbles. All you need is a comb, butterfly clips, and a couple hair elastics.
3. Dutch Braids with Mini Buns
A Dutch braid is essentially a French braid that goes underhand instead of overhand. We love the relaxed look of these Dutch braids and how they end in little messy buns. Dutch braid the top part of your head and then stop, putting the rest of it in a ponytail. Then, with the leftover loose hair, create two messy mini buns. It’s the perfect look for casual summer days.
7 Long Summer Hairstyles for 2024
1. Bubble Braids
Bubble braids are the perfect trendy hairstyle to get your hair off of your back during summer. While we love the look of a bubble braided ponytail, we adore these pigtails even more. Bubble braids are so simple to do- just check out this Youtube short by @emiliamarantos. All you need is a brush to smooth out your hair and clear elastics to create the bubbles!
2. 5 Quick and Easy Summer Hairstyles | Pressley
These five hairstyles are cute, easy, and quintessentially summer! The first is a half up braid, the second a side braid, the third is a double twist braid, the fourth is a braided ponytail, and the fifth is a pigtail braided style. Braids are always in for summer and these looks are super versatile for all your warm weather plans. She uses a ribbon to enhance some of the braids, otherwise you just need clear elastics and an alligator clip to help you section your hair.
3. Headscarf with Waves
A headscarf is such an “it girl” accessory and it’s perfect styled with long waves. Use a flat iron or curling wand to get an undone wave, then tie a pretty silk headscarf around. This look is ideal if you’re going to be out in the sun all day and want to protect your scalp, plus it’s just incredibly cool. Style it with gold hoops for the ultimate “it girl” aesthetic.
These summer hairstyles are all gorgeous and easy to do yourself. Whether you have a short bob or long locks, you’ll simply stun in these styles.
