Why this worksSummer heat can make long hair feel heavy and uncomfortable. By pulling your hair up or away from your face, you allow for better airflow, which keeps you cooler. Plus, these styles can help prevent sweat from making your hair sticky or frizzy.

The ritual, step by step

  1. High Bun Gather your hair into a high ponytail, twist it around itself, and secure it with a hair tie. This classic style keeps hair off your neck and looks effortlessly chic.
  2. Braided Ponytail Pull your hair into a ponytail and braid it. Secure the end with an elastic. This style combines practicality with a touch of elegance, keeping hair neat and tidy.
  3. Half-Up Top Knot Take the top half of your hair and tie it into a small bun while leaving the bottom half down. This style is playful and keeps your hair out of your face while still looking stylish.
  4. Messy Bun Gather your hair loosely into a bun on the top of your head, allowing some strands to fall naturally. This effortless look is perfect for a casual summer day.
