12 Effortless Summer Hairstyles For When You’re In A Rush

Summer hairstyles can be a pain if you are in a rush or heading to the beach. Summer does not have to mean messy buns and low key hairstyles, you can have it both ways! We’ll keep you trendy and fashionable, in 5 minutes or less. Check out these 12 effortless summer hairstyles! Whether you plan to spend your summer days on the beach, at work, the bar, or just hanging out with friends with your Jeep… these are 12 different hairstyles for you and all that you have planned, in 5 minutes or less.

1. Waterfall Braid Pony Tail

I absolutely love this hairstyle. In particular, I think that this hairstyle looks great in the summer months, something about braids and ponytails looks nice in the summer. Not to mention, the fact that the hair is up and out of your face will keep you cool and beat the heat. Throw on some long earrings, and you can wear this style out to a date night, too! To make this style easy, separate the hair you want to braid from the hair that will be pulled back into a ponytail. Super pretty and definitely worth the time!

2. Beach Waves

For this next summer hairstyle, it surely will be effortless. Wavy hair is best for the summer months, and most of the time this does not require any heat or heavy product on your hair, which gives it that natural look as well. You can achieve this look one of two ways: first, sleep with your hair in a damp, messy bun. The second way is pretty similar, and you can sleep with your hair in a french braid. This will give it that wavy, beachy vibe that everyone wants in the summer!

3. Side Braid

Doing braids in the summer may seem like a hassle, but don’t give up just yet. I can braid my hair in 2 minutes or less, and if I can, so can you! This look works with long, short, curly, or straight hair. To get the best results, take a small section of hair and start braiding to the side, and secure with a bobby pin.

4. Heart-Shaped Braid

I am sure many of you have seen this boho, sleek, trendy hairstyle somewhere. We all may want to emulate it, and it is super cute. Effortless is the key here because this braid is a wider, thicker version of a normal braid. Super cute!

4. Ponytail Wrap Around

For this next summer hairstyle, I can assure you it will be done in 2 minutes or less. Maybe even 2 seconds! All that this hairstyle takes is putting your hair into a ponytail, like normal, and then taking other hair sections to conceal where the normal hair tie would be. This look is so effortless and looks like you put a lot of work into it!

5. Half Up

One of the best hairstyles for the summertime is the half-up, half-down look. You can play around with it depending on how messy you want it to come out, but this is definitely worth trying! Wear to dinner, the beach, or just about anywhere this summer.

6. Twist Back

With long, thick hair, the summer can be hard to tame it when you are always on the go. This hairstyle just involves 2-3 bobby pins! All you do for this look is twist back the two front pieces of hair and pull them together in the back of the head. Super cute!

7. Fishtail

I always think of summer when I see the fishtail hairstyle on someone. Similar to a braid, but yet different. The fishtail braid only involves two pieces of hair, crossing over each other. That’s it! Super simple and it looks really pretty on everyone! It may take up to 5 minutes but I can promise you it is worth it!

8. Scrunchie

The 90s are back – haven’t you heard? Seriously though, the scrunchie in someone’s hair looks super cute, and it doesn’t take more than a few seconds to secure. You can buy pattered scrunchie’s for summer, or play around with bright colors like neon.

9. Bun With Hair Scarf

Its summer, and it is hot. But you don’t have to give up on fashion, either! The new trend I have seen is to wear headwear, but basically, they are scrunchies with bow ties. Super cute, and wearing your hair in a bun will keep it off your neck in the heat! Takes no more than a second or two!

10. Braid Back With Hair Scarf

This hairstyle looks as enticing as it sounds. Hair scarf adds a little feminine touch to any hairstyle, and it makes it a bit edgy if you ask me. I love this trend! The braids will take you a couple of minutes, and then securing the hair scarf won’t take long. You can purchase a hair scarf at stores like Pacsun, but I’m sure Target or TJ Maxx will have something similar.

11. Printed Headband

I know we’ve suddenly started talking about headbands, but bear with me because they are super trendy and definitely make a statement. Like I mentioned previously, you can purchase these at your local mall, and they never will be a waste of money. Let your hair breathe from a break of hot iron tools, and just grab a floral headband!

12. High Ponytail

For the last summer hairstyle that anyone can do in a rush, is a high ponytail. I know it may sound boring, but this look is a classic. Pull some hair away from it and drop it by your face to give it some edge. It takes no more than 2 minutes!
