During the hot, humid summer months, it's important to find hairstyles that are both fashionable and functional. As a hairstylist in Fort Worth, TX, I have many clients with long, thick hair, and the five styles below are ones that I recommend they use during the summer months.

Messy Bun

A messy bun is a classic that never goes out of style. It's quick, easy, and perfect for keeping your hair off your face and neck on hot days. To achieve the perfect messy bun, gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a bun. Secure with bobby pins and pull out a few strands to create a messy, effortless look.

Beach Waves

Beach waves are another timeless summer hairstyle that's perfect for the beach or a casual day out. To achieve this look, spray your damp hair with a sea salt spray and scrunch it with your fingers. Let it air dry or use a diffuser on low heat. For an extra beachy vibe, add a colorful hair accessory or headband.

Braids

Braids are a versatile summer hairstyle that can be dressed up or down. Try a fishtail braid or a Dutch braid for a stylish and sophisticated look, or a messy side braid for a more casual vibe. You can also braid your hair into a crown or add small braids throughout your hair for a Bohemian look.

High Ponytail

A high ponytail is a classic summer hairstyle that's both functional and trendy. It's perfect for keeping your hair off your neck on hot days, and it can easily be dressed up or down. To achieve the perfect high ponytail, gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic. For extra volume, backcomb the crown of your hair before securing it into the ponytail.

Top Knot

A top knot is a simple and cute summer hairstyle that's perfect for both casual and formal occasions. It's also great for keeping your hair off your face and neck on hot days. To achieve the perfect top knot, gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a bun. Secure with bobby pins and pull out a few strands to create a messy, effortless look.
