Easy summer hairstyles: 23 sweatproof looks for perfect holiday hair

They may be simple, but these easy summer hairstyles have to work hard in the heat. These ‘dos will keep hair from sticking to a sweaty face, stay frizz-free in hellish humidity, and can even be achieved without the oppressive heat of a hairdryer.

From heatless curls to air-dry waves, a good summer hairstyle will save your hair from being blasted/fried/singed into compliance. Because, let's face it - the last thing you want to do in 30-degree heat is bust out your best hairdryer, straighteners or curling tongs, and your hair will thank you for it, too. The best rule of thumb to follow? “I find that less is more when it comes to summer hair,” says Ondine Cowley, Artistic Director at Gielly Green. “I love creating a middle parting and slicking hair back into a low ponytail - it’s so simple.” And if your hair does fluff up? Cowley's advice is to embrace it. “I think the frizzy look in a ponytail or hair worn up can be really sensual and desirable.”

So whether you're jetting off to sunny climes or just waiting for the UK weather to finally turn, these summer hairstyles will keep you looking - and feeling - cool in the heat.
