The volume ponytail is proof that simple doesn’t have to mean boring. It lifts your look instantly while keeping hair off your neck—a must on sweltering days.

A boho-inspired favorite, the braided headband brings a playful twist to your everyday look. It’s both functional and decorative—keeping strands back while making a subtle statement.

Take a small section of hair from each side of your head, braid both, and pin them across your crown like a headband. Leave the rest of your hair down—sleek or tousled. 

Pro tip: Add shine and smoothness by running the Dyson Corrale™ over your lengths before styling. For additional hold and a healthy shine, consider Dyson’s range of hair styling products.

The fishtail braid looks intricate, but it’s surprisingly easy—and completely summer-proof.

Split your hair into two sections. Take a thin piece from the outer edge of one side and cross it to the other. Alternate sides until you reach the end, then secure with a clear elastic. 

Pro tip: Tug gently at the braid once secured to create a fuller, lived-in look. Prep with the Dyson Wide-tooth comb to smooth tangles without breakage.

Glossy, straight hair is a summer classic that never goes out of style. It’s clean, sophisticated, and sleek enough to handle humidity—if styled smartly.

Put a chic spin on the classic ponytail with this twisted variation. It’s just elevated enough to feel special, without the complexity of a braid. 

Start by twisting sections from each side of your head and bringing them toward the back. Join both sides and secure into a ponytail at the nape or crown, depending on your vibe. 

Pro tip: Add grit and hold before twisting with the Dyson Airwrap™ round brush or curling barrel.

The braided bun is your polished go-to for when you want to look like you put in effort—without actually doing much.

Curl your hair first using the Dyson Airwrap™ for extra volume and texture. Then braid small sections from each side, pull the rest into a low bun, and wrap the braids around the base. Pin everything in place and finish with a light mist of hairspray.

Pro tip: Use the Airwrap™ before braiding to help the bun hold its shape with less frizz.

Fun, fuss-free, and ideal for summer humidity—bubble braids are trending for a reason.

Start with a sleek ponytail. Add clear bands every few inches down the length, then gently tug each section outward to "bubble" the hair between the bands.

Pro tip: Add volume to the bubbles by fluffing each one with your fingers after securing, and use a finishing spray to set the look in place.

From quick ponytails to head-turning braids, summer hairstyles should be easy, breezy, and adaptable. Whether you’re styling for work, play, or everything in between, Dyson tools help you get the look you want—with less heat and more protection.
