Purple Braid Majesty
Ah, the majestic braid. A classic example of updos for long hair that radiates both strength and femininity. This particular style — a thick, purple-tinted braid — is a testament to how braids can be both a statement and a whisper, perfect for those long, lazy days or a vibrant party setting.

It’s most flattering on thick hair, where the braid can show off its full glory, and the color purple can truly pop, don’t you think? However, if your mane is more on the medium hair side, consider volumizing products or hair extensions to achieve this bold look.
Summer hair craves hydration, so never skimp on a good conditioning treatment. A dollop of Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask will keep your locks luscious and your color vivid.
But let’s be real — braids this intricate may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially for those looking for a quick and easy style. And for those with short hair, a braid of this nature might remain a dream, unless you opt for extensions.
Half-Up, Half-Down Chic
This hairstyle is where sophistication meets nonchalance — a perfect half-up, half-down ‘do that could easily become your go-to for a daily look or a school casual vibe. It’s a classic example of medium hair for beginners and seasoned stylists alike.

Best suited for medium length to long hair, this style adds a touch of class without trying too hard. And if you’re someone who often resorts to a ponytail for practicality, this look will certainly spice things up without any extra hassle.
For maintenance, a smoothing serum, like the John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum, can help combat humidity and leave your hair sleek and shiny.
On the flip side, those with short hair may find the half-up option less viable. Yet, with a few strategic bobby pins and a touch of creativity, a mini version of this style is certainly within reach.
Effortlessly Tied Back
There’s a certain allure to a hairstyle that looks as though you’ve just swept your hair back without a second thought — an embodiment of medium hair casual. This look is not only easy to achieve but also translates seamlessly from a beach outing to an office setting.

I’d say it’s ideal for medium hair to long length hair, offering a reprieve on those hot summer days when you want your neck free of any entanglements. For those with straight hair or wavy textures, the natural flow adds a playful touch to this restrained style.
Now, for those of you with hair that tends to get a bit greasy, this is a fabulous way to stylishly combat those less-than-ideal hair days. A spritz of dry shampoo like Batiste can offer a fresh look and extra volume at the roots.
If you have short hair, you might think this isn’t for you, but with a few strategically placed pins and perhaps a cute clip, you can emulate the essence of this look. It’s all about making the style work for you.
Sleek Minimalism
This style is all about the sleek simplicity that speaks to the modern woman. A short hair style accentuated with a minimalist hairband, it’s the epitome of easy updo elegance for a more refined, office-friendly look.
While ideal for those with medium hair or a short cut, it’s not the best fit for longer styles but can inspire those with longer locks to try a similar, sleek-backed look with the aid of a hairband.
For keeping hair smooth and in place, I suggest the TRESemmé Tres Two Extra Hold Hair Gel, for its long-lasting hold and shine.
The style is a nod to the smart casual yet chic look that can take you from day to night with its understated elegance.
Top Knot Haven
Embrace the hot summer days with a top knot that keeps the heat at bay. This updo for long hair is playful yet practical, making it an excellent choice for daily wear or a casual party.
It’s an excellent option for those with long hair or medium length hair looking to get their tresses up and out of the way, while those with short hair styles can opt for a mini bun.
Using a good quality hair tie, like the Invisibobble, will ensure your bun stays in place without damaging your hair.
Dress it down with a pair of sunglasses and a casual shirt for a school casual look or dress it up with some statement earrings for an evening out — this top knot is as versatile as it is easy.
Cascading Elegance Updo
For those moments when the summer breeze calls for something a bit more formal without losing touch with the season’s ease, this cascading updo is a work of art. Ideal for long hair or those with medium length hair, this style is the perfect companion for a wedding guest or any function where a touch of elegance is desired.
Its suitability spans across various hair types, but those with short hair might need a few extensions weaved in to achieve the full cascade effect. Keeping this masterpiece intact, especially in the summer heat, calls for a stronghold hairspray like L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold.
With just the right mix of formality and frolic, it’s as comfortable at a high-end soirée as it is at a vacation dinner by the sea.
Beachy Blonde Bob
Summer is not just about the styles you can create but also the color that reflects the season’s light. This tousled, beachy bob is a perfect statement for those preferring short hair styles but still want to make a splash. It’s especially suitable for those with a straight hair texture looking to add a bit of body and movement.
To achieve the tousled look, a texturizing spray such as the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray can add volume and the perfect undone finish. The blonde hue is a great companion for summer wardrobes full of color or the classic whites of the season.
This style says easy and daily wear without sacrificing a speck of chic — it’s as quick and easy as a summer morning.
Sophisticated Summer Bun
Here’s a twist on the classic bun, with a relaxed yet sophisticated look that’s great for those with medium length to long hair. It’s a wonderful choice for a party, an office meeting, or when you need a quick and easy yet stylish updo for long hair.
This style can be adapted for those with short hair by creating a smaller bun or adding accessories for more volume. A smoothing serum or cream, such as the John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum, will keep the hair sleek and in place.
Whether it’s a casual daily look or for a smart casual event, this bun is versatile and chic, keeping you cool and collected no matter the summer heat.
Bold and Braided
When the temperature rises, a bold braid is not just a style but a necessity. This double braid is both a statement and a solution to long hair that needs taming in the hot summer weather. It’s an excellent style for school, daily activities, or a day out with friends.
Ideal for those with long length hair or thick hair, this braid ensures your locks are stylishly secured. To help craft the perfect braid, a flexible styling cream, like the Bumble and Bumble Styling Cream, will provide hold without stiffness.
It’s the embodiment of quick and easy — a braid that’s as practical for a beach day as it is for an urban adventure.
Tousled Half-Up Twist
And for a cute, easy updo that pairs wonderfully with summer’s laid-back vibe, the tousled half-up twist is a dream. This style is a perfect match for medium hair to long hair, providing a quick and easy way to look put-together in seconds.
This hairstyle is ideal for creating a daily, effortless look that works just as well for school casual as it does for a weekend party. For an extra touch of texture, a product like the Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray can give you those desired beachy waves.
Embrace the spontaneity of summer with this half-up twist that’s as versatile as it is vibrant, a true testament to the season’s free spirit.
Elegant Simplicity
This understated ‘do breathes grace into hairstyles for women looking to balance elegance with ease. A loose, textured bun, accentuated with a minimalist hair accessory, speaks to those summer evenings where simplicity wins. Can you see yourself donning this look at a wedding guest event or a smart-casual function?
For those with medium length hair to long hair, this style offers versatility. It’s forgiving on days when battling greasy hair is not on your agenda, yet sophisticated enough to elevate a dress or kurta for an impromptu dinner outing.
To keep this effortless twist pristine in the summer breeze, I suggest a light-hold hairspray, perhaps something with a hint of shine. Trust me, a product like L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray can be a game-changer.
Now, while the style may look enchanting on straight hair or long length hair, those with very short hair may find this look a tad challenging. But fret not; a faux bun extension can work wonders.
Chic Low Bun with a Twist
When it comes to easy updo hairstyles, nothing beats the sophistication of a low bun, adorned here with elegant pearls. It’s a chic solution for any summer event, be it a vacation dinner or a function where the dress code reads smart casual.
This hairstyle sings on medium length to long hair, especially when you’re aiming to impress without appearing overdone. It’s also a graceful workaround for days when your hair isn’t cooperating, and you need a quick and easy fix.
To keep this bun in place while you flit from one summer soiree to the next, I recommend using a stronghold gel, like the eco-friendly Giovanni Eco Chic LA Natural Styling Gel. It’s effective without the crunch.
For my friends with short hair, fear not. A low bun can be yours with the help of a few extensions or a creative twist on the traditional chignon that plays with texture and volume to achieve a fuller look.
Bohemian Twin Braids
Dive into the bohemian spirit with these cute twin braids, a playful yet easy nod to quick and easy — simple hairstyles for summer. This style wraps simplicity and charm into one, offering a fresh take on the braids we’ve all come to love.
Tailor-made for those blessed with medium to long hair, these braids bring a touch of boho-chic to any look — be it a flowy dress for a beach outing or paired with a kurta for a casual school event. The key lies in the braid’s texture, which should be loose enough to give a laid-back feel yet tight enough to maintain form.
Maintaining the allure of these braids might call for a dab of texturizing spray. I often reach for the Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, which adds the right amount of body and a beachy texture that doesn’t weigh down the hair.
For those with short hair, you might be thinking, “Is this style doable for me?” Absolutely! It’s all about creating smaller sections and working with what you’ve got. A little bit of braiding can go a long way in adding personality to your hair, no matter its length.
