This hairstyle is fantastic for those with long hair and seeking a quick yet chic way to keep their hair managed. Those with medium hair can enjoy this look as well, possibly using a smaller twist to suit the length.

To ensure the twist stays in place without any fuss, a light-hold hairspray or a touch of styling cream can add the necessary grip. Aveda’s Light Elements Texturizing Creme works well for a soft hold that lasts.

Accessorizing with a unique hair stick or a sleek barrette can turn this simple twist into a statement. It’s the perfect mix of functionality and elegance, a true celebration of personal style.

Ideal for those with long hair, this style lends an air of polished effortlessness. Those with medium hair can achieve a similar look by adjusting the length of the loop-through. It may be a bit challenging for those with short hair, but with some clever pinning, anything is possible.

To keep this ponytail looking sleek, a smoothing serum or a light hairspray can help tame any flyaways. The Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother is perfect for creating a sleek base for this style.

A statement hair clip or a bold hair tie can be the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right amount of personality to this versatile hairstyle.

This hairstyle works wonderfully for those with medium to long hair, giving a voluminous and structured look. For those with short hair, you might opt for a faux bun to emulate this style.

The key to maintaining this bun’s pristine look is to ensure it’s well-secured without being too tight. A light-hold hairspray, like the Living Proof Flex Hairspray, will keep everything in place while maintaining a natural feel.

The addition of a large, silky bow adds a touch of whimsy and can be coordinated with your attire to make a fashion-forward statement that is all your own.

Minimalist Knot Ponytail

The Minimalist Knot Ponytail is a masterclass in understated elegance. It’s for those who appreciate a sleek look with a touch of uniqueness. This hairstyle suits any setting, from professional environments to casual meet-ups.

Those blessed with long hair or medium length hair can pull off this look with ease. Even for short hair, a version of this ponytail can be achieved with a smaller knot and perhaps a hair extension for added length.

To maintain the sleekness of this style, use a straightening iron for a smooth finish and a nourishing hair oil to keep it from looking dry. A subtle hair tie or a minimalist hair clip can secure the knot while adding a contemporary edge.

Twisted Ribbon Cascade

For a playful and romantic twist, the Twisted Ribbon Cascade is an enchanting choice. It’s a celebration of summer’s whimsical side, intertwining soft waves with a ribbon that adds a pop of color and texture.

This style is a hit for those with wavy long hair and is adaptable enough for those with medium length hair as well. It might be a bit more challenging for short hair, but selecting a shorter ribbon can provide a similar aesthetic.

Keep your waves looking fresh with a curl-defining product and a light hairspray to hold them in place without losing movement. The ribbon should be tied in a way that it stays secure but doesn’t crease the hair.

Ribbon-Tied Ponytail

The Ribbon-Tied Ponytail is a playful and youthful style that captures the essence of summer fun. It’s as easy as it is charming, with ribbon ties adding a pop of color and a whimsical touch to a simple ponytail.

This look is perfect for anyone with long hair looking to add some casual flair to their daily style. The ribbons can be easily adjusted to work with medium length hair as well, and those with short hair might opt for smaller ribbons or even colorful hair ties for a similar effect.

For this carefree look, a light hold hairspray will help maintain volume at the crown and ensure your ponytail stays perky throughout the day. The added ribbons are not only decorative but can also help secure the ponytail in place.

Soft Waves With Velvet Ribbon

Embracing a more romantic and soft aesthetic, the Soft Waves with Velvet Ribbon hairstyle is a testament to understated elegance. It’s the kind of style that works wonderfully for a summer evening out or a semi-formal event.

Those with long or medium length hair will find this style to be particularly flattering, as the soft waves gently cascade down, and the velvet ribbon adds a touch of sophistication. A curling iron or wand can help achieve these gentle waves, and a spritz of flexible hold hairspray will ensure they stay in place without looking stiff.

Choose a ribbon that complements your outfit or one that contrasts for a statement piece. This hairstyle is about combining simplicity with luxury, resulting in a look that’s effortlessly chic.

Seaside Braid Under A Hat

Imagine a hairstyle that whispers tales of the sea with every braid; the Seaside Braid under a Hat does just that. It’s the perfect style for a day spent with your feet in the sand or exploring a quaint coastal town. The loose braid suggests a relaxed ease, while the hat adds a touch of mystery and practical protection from the summer sun.

This style is great for those with long hair looking for a chic way to manage their tresses in the summer heat. Even if you have medium hair, the braid can be adapted to a shorter length and still exude the same beachy charm.

To keep the braid from unraveling in the sea breeze, use a flexible hold spray, such as the Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Hair Spray. It allows the hair to move naturally while keeping the braid intact.

Tailored Braid With A Twist

The Tailored Braid with a Twist is a more structured take on the classic braid, offering a sleek and sophisticated style that’s equally suited for a day in the office or an evening garden party. It takes the familiar and twists it into something unexpectedly refined.

Those with medium to long hair will find this style both manageable and impressive. The twists add an element of elegance to the simple braid, making it a standout style. For those with short hair, this may be an inspiration for future looks or an incentive to play with hair extensions.

Maintaining this style’s sleek appearance can be achieved with a smoothing product like the John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum, applied before braiding. It prevents flyaways and adds a glossy sheen to your hair.

Adding a modern hair accessory, such as a leather hair tie or a metallic cuff, can elevate the braid from everyday to extraordinary.

Curly Confidence With Golden Clips

Curls have a language of their own, and this Curly Confidence hairstyle speaks volumes. It’s playful, it’s cheeky, and it’s sprinkled with golden clips that add a sunshine-like shimmer. It’s a celebration of natural texture, perfect for a summer festival or a day out in the city.

This style is fantastic for anyone with naturally curly hair, adding a bit of pizzazz with strategically placed hair clips. If your hair is less curly, a curling iron can help you achieve this look, and the clips can still bring that golden touch.

To keep your curls bouncy and defined, a good curl cream or mousse is essential. The DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler can give you that definition without weighing your hair down.

Velvet Bow Bun

The Velvet Bow Bun is where elegance meets simplicity. This hairstyle is understated yet incredibly chic, with a smooth bun accented by a luxurious velvet bow. It’s perfect for those moments when you want to add a touch of sophistication to your summer evening attire.

Best suited for those with medium to long hair, the sleek bun provides a clean palette for the striking velvet bow. Those with shorter lengths can use a bun-maker or hair donut to achieve a fuller look.

A bit of hair gel or pomade, like the Bumble and Bumble Sumotech, can help achieve the sleek look of the bun, while a few bobby pins can secure the bow in place.

Pretty In Pink Braids

Soft sunlight and gentle breezes call for the Pretty in Pink Braids, a hairstyle that’s both sweet and stylish. The pink ribbon weaved through the braid adds a splash of color and a dash of girlish charm, perfect for picnics in the park or outdoor summer concerts.

This hairstyle is wonderfully suited for those with long hair that can be braided from top to bottom. For those with short hair, consider a partial braid or using a ribbon as a headband for a similar whimsical vibe.

A light misting of hairspray will help keep the braid in place without making it stiff, allowing for some natural movement. The ribbon should be gently woven in, not too tight to prevent pulling, and can be secured at the bottom with a small knot.
