Summer Hairstyles for 2024

Looking to start the summer off with a new hairdo? From haircuts to braids to ponytails and more, the possibilities are endless. But when you’re spoilt for choice, it can be hard to make a decision. If you’re unsure which hairdo would work best for the season, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll share some cute, trendy summer hairstyles for inspiration.

Short Cuts

When the temperatures start to rise, many of us reach for the scissors. If you tend to run hot, the last thing you’ll want is hair grazing your shoulders and raising your temperature. And that’s not the only reason we like short cuts – they also put your facial features on blast and give your look an undeniable edge. Some of the best short cuts for the summertime include:

• Bobs (choppy, curly, blunt, asymmetrical, Italian)

• Pixie cuts

• Short shags

• And more

Depending on the cut and your confidence level, you may be able to go short at home. Read this article for some guidance to help you get the best results.

Top Knot

If you’re looking to stay cool without losing any length, perhaps a top knot will be a better style for you. It’s essentially a high ponytail wrapped into a tight bun. We love it because it’s easy for anyone to achieve. The key to a great top knot is lots of patience, brushing, and smoothing products – the cleaner your top knot is, the more stunning your results will be. 

Messy Updo

We all love carefree, lived-in looks for the summer, and the messy updo is one of the most popular. The best thing about this look is that you can freestyle it with pins, barrettes, clips, and other styling tools. Make it as structured or unstructured as you want. Just be careful how tightly you secure the style at the roots; you don’t want to lose any hair. 

Braids

Who says you even want to be bothered with your hair in the summer? In that case, try braids. They last several days, weeks, or months, depending on the braid type. A fishtail braid or French braid down the middle of your head will last a day or two. Cornrows will last a couple of weeks, and protective braid styles like box braids and goddess braids will last up to two months. Highly textured hair is best suited to braids (especially type 4), but that doesn’t mean people with wavy or straight hair can’t pull these styles off.  

So, there you have it – some of the best summer hairstyles for 2024. If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to check out Daily Dose Leave-in Conditioner and Deep Conditioner. Both products are natural, nutrient-heavy, and easy to use for all hair types. They ensure your hair is easy to style and as healthy as possible throughout the summer months. We hope you found all the information you were looking for, and we wish you the best with your hair this summer.
