Summer Hairstyles for Short to Medium Length Hair
Style 1
The first style is a simple, half up half down look using a claw clip. Simply part the hair at the ears and gather at the back of your head. Twist the hair into a bun shape and secure with your claw clip.
Style 2
The second style is a variation of the classic half up half down hairstyle. This is an easy way to keep your hair out of the way. Start at the front of your hair and begin a single french braid. After you incorporate your desired amount of hair, stop adding hair and braid normally. Secure the end with an elastic.
Style 3
The third style secures all of your hair out of your face and off of your neck. This summer hairstyle is perfect for hot and humid days. Split the hair in two equal sections, create two twists, and continue adding hair as you go. After you reach the base of your neck, secure into a bun with an elastic or with a claw clip.
Style 4
The fourth style is another variation of the classic half up half down hairstyle. Start by parting the hair halfway between the ears and the top of your head. Secure at with an elastic the back of your head. Split the ponytail above the elastic and flip through the hole. Pull. Next, gather the hair at the ears at the back of your head, including the first ponytail you created. Follow the same steps to flip the ponytail into itself.
