5 Foolproof Hot Summer Hairstyles

Learn how to easily replicate celebrity-inspired summer styles—from a modern updo to a chic braid—without breaking a sweat.

1- Sleek Top Knot

If it's been a long week, and you don't want to wash your hair, you can easily recreate this sleek top knot by using a gel to get the "wet" look. Twist your hair into a tight, small bun, and secure with a clear rubber band.

2- Faux Pixie Cut

If you have short hair but want an even shorter hairstyle, don't think you have to make a trip to the salon. Fake a pixie cut by swooping your hair to one side, and use product to get that extra-sleek look. Pin up the remaining portion of your hair.

3- Half-Up Top Knot with Straight Hair

This style works well if you're having a great hair day, but still want your hair out of your face. Spilt your hair into two sections at the crown of your head. Twist the top section of your hair into a bun, and style the rest of your hair that's down.

4- Sleek Bun

Using product to help slick your hair back, part your hair in the middle, and twist into a low bun for a ballerina-inspired look.

5- Messy Updo

For this look, pin up your hair but leave several strands down so that you get that messy, causal vibe.
