Keeping your hair stylish while staying cool can be challenging as temperatures rise. Curling irons are your best ally for creating gorgeous summer hairstyles that withstand the heat and humidity.

Effortless Beach Waves

Try creating effortless waves for a laid-back, beachy look that’s ideal for summer. Use a curling iron with a barrel size of 1-1.5 inches for loose, natural-looking waves. Start by sectioning your hair into medium-sized pieces. Wrap each section around the barrel, leaving the ends out for a more relaxed, beachy effect. Hold for a few seconds, then release and let the curl cool before touching it. Finish with a texturizing spray to enhance the waves and add volume. This style is perfect for a day at the beach or a casual summer outing.

Bouncy Curls for a Special Occasion

If you’re heading to a summer event or want to add glamour to your look, bouncy curls are a great option. Use a curling iron with a smaller barrel for tighter, more defined curls. After curling each section of your hair, pin it up to cool while you work on the rest of your hair. Once all sections are curled and cooled, gently brush through them to separate and soften the curls. Apply a lightweight hairspray to hold the style in place without making it stiff. This look will keep you looking polished and elegant throughout your summer festivities.

Loose, Voluminous Curls for Everyday Wear

For a casual yet chic everyday style, wear loose, voluminous curls. Use a large-barrel curling iron to create soft, voluminous curls that naturally bounce your hair. Wrap larger sections of hair around the barrel, leaving the ends out for a more relaxed look. After curling, lightly brush through your hair to break up the curls and add volume. A root-lifting spray can give extra body and help the curls stay in place longer. This versatile hairstyle can easily transition day to night, making it perfect for any summer day.
