It's always important to have a great backup plan for your hair for the hot days of Summer.

Obviously it's best to select a hot Summer day hairstyle which works for your hair length, type, texture and current condition of hair.

The Long Haul

During the hot days of summer, for shoulder length or longer hair, the ponytail will reign.

Your average run of the mill pony tail will never do.  Fullness at the back crown area to create volume will update the ponytail this season.

A high ponytail keeps hot sweaty hair from sticking to the back of your neck or face.

A great ponytail keeps hair out of your face, but still looks perky and fresh.

Braids Are Always A Popular Hair Option

Braids will also be popular on longer manes.

Whether the braid is worn off to one side, low at the nape area, a French braid or traditional 3-strand braid, women will remain cool with this look.

Plait your hair down the back in a traditional braid.  Wrap it into a chignon and pop on a flower headband for a gorgeous hot summer evening look.

Long Soft Flowing Waves

For those wanting to wear their hair down, soft flowing waves will be the popular look.

Hair accessories for long hair, like headbands, are all the rage.

Brush all the hair off the face, secure a head band on the top front of the head, and then pump up the volume behind the headband.

Or pin it up into a loose curly topknot.

Try using a finishing spray to complete the look.

Middle of the Road

If your hair is chin to shoulder length, soft curls and waves will help create a beachy look for Summer hair.

If you want to add texture and volume, try a volumizing mousse or spray for the roots.

A beautiful wave infused hairstyle will add just the right amount of curl and body.  Waves can last for a few days with a dry shampoo.

Waves are great for those vacation days when you don’t want to fuss with your hair!

Simple & Easy Updo

One look that is sure to keep you cool is a simple updo.

Tuck and pin the neck area of the hair up to the nape to create a shorter version of your hairstyle.

Tousle the sides and top for separation and texture and off you go for summer fun.

The Short Stop

Short hair is easier to maintain during the summer months, it does require more frequent haircuts to keep the style looking great.

For short hair, this summer is all about texture and lots of layers!

The texturized long bob is all the rage in Hollywood.

A sleek look during the daytime can be accomplished with a little firm hold gel.

Then kick it up a notch at nighttime by spiking it out with molding mud or paste to create an edgy look.
