It’s been a great summer so far, and besides getting out in the sunshine as much as possible and enjoying some beach time if you were lucky enough to get it, we hope you have also been taking care of your hair.

 
Whether your hairstyling preferences lean towards the longer side or you like to keep your locks a little shorter, there are lots of fun looks and ways to style your hair that look great in the warmer months. Here’s some hairstyling inspiration, as recommended by InStyle:

1. Fishtail braids

Fishtail braids are fun, casual and perfect for the beach. This works best on hair that isn’t freshly washed, and therefore not as slippery.

2. Top knot

Not only does this get all your hair off your neck, the messy look gives it a trendy touch. Use larger bobby pins to make sure your top knot stays up.

3. Updo

Another way to keep all that hair up and away from your face? Try this low updo, making sure to keep it loose and casual so that some of your hair frames your face.

4. Ponytail

You can’t go wrong with a ponytail, and this ultra-high ponytail gives it an added fashionista vibe.

5. Side braid

Trade in those regular braids for this cool, laidback side braid that looks so effortless.

6. Pixie

Rock that pixie by taking it to the next level – literally! An extra lift at your roots is all you need to go from boring to standout.

7. Tousled bob

Don’t let the heat get the better of your bob. If you’ve got a bob that’s threatening to go limp in the heat, use a curling iron and hairdryer to perk up those locks.
