Hairstyles for Summer 2021

Front Braids

Who didn't wear those classic front braids with their hair down when they were little? This sweet and easy hairstyle (you just have to braid a strand from the front of each side of your hair) is back in a big way.

It's a youthful, fresh, and very comfortable hairstyle, as it keeps strands of hair off your face. You can do a simple braid if you're in a hurry, or a fishtail braid, a French braid, or even decorate it with beads (by inserting them into the strands before braiding). As you can see, the possibilities are endless.

And don't let the fact that you wore them as a child stop you, as it will give a casual and cheerful touch to your look.

Bubble ponytails

You might not recognize the name, but you've definitely seen this hairstyle. Since last year, bubble ponytails have been everywhere. And it's no wonder, because they're super cool and very, very original. Not to mention how easy they are to do.

Simply make a ponytail and add elastics every 3 or 4 centimeters (more or less depending on the length of your hair). We recommend using the small silicone elastics sold in any bazaar or beauty store. To make the "bubble effect" more noticeable, once you've placed the elastics, fluff up the sections of hair between them by pulling them to the sides.

Voluminous Curls

After years of straight and slightly wavy hair dominating, the well-defined 80s curl is back in style. In this hairstyle, your gorgeous hair will look better than ever, as the volume of these curls is incredibly flattering. It's casual and edgy; you'll turn heads. And don't worry, it doesn't take long to achieve this amazing mane. The trick is to put in curlers before going to sleep, leave them in overnight, and when you wake up, simply remove them and style your hair. If you don't have curlers at home, you can use long socks or tights. Yes, you heard right! It's the latest trend in social media tutorials like TikTok. Take a pair of tights, put them on the middle of your head parallel to your forehead, and let the same amount of tights hang out on both sides. Wrap your hair around the stocking, leave it overnight, and you're done!

Updos with braids

Braids are more fashionable than ever. Not just the front braids we mentioned earlier, but all of them. They look beautiful, elegant, and are very comfortable since they don't pull on your hair like ponytails or buns. Ideal for pairing with boho-chic outfits.

They also offer endless possibilities, such as combining them in updos to add texture and make the hairstyle look more elaborate. Get inspired by these ones we show you below. See how a simple updo and a simple ponytail look like red carpet-worthy hairstyles when you add braids?

High pigtails

Two high pigtails (like the ones you wore as a child) are back this summer in their chicest version: not gathering all your hair, but leaving it loose and just gathering a strand on each side.

To make it even cooler, leave a few front strands loose and gently curl the ends. It's perfect for adding a casual touch to your look. And if you're feeling more daring, turn your ponytails into buns, just like a Japanese woman!

Sixties Ponytail

You've surely admired the ponytail of the talented singer Ariana Grande more than once. It's her signature look, and it gives her unparalleled elegance and sophistication. This summer, dare to recreate it, because it's more fashionable than ever.

To create this look, separate your hair into two sections and gather the lower section into a high ponytail, leaving the top section loose. Apply gel or wax to the scalp of the loose section, comb it from your forehead back, and gather it into a ponytail. This will give it a completely sleek look, without any loose strands.

By layering one ponytail on top of the other, the volume will be much more pronounced. Finally, use a flat iron to curl the ends outwards and give the hairstyle a sixties touch.

We hope you're inspired to recreate these summer 2021 hairstyles. Ready to be the coolest every day?
