Does anyone else feel like summer makes us want hair that’s as vibrant as the season? No matter if it’s hot, breezy or sunset-filled days, this summer is all about easy, fresh and cute summer hairstyles 2025. What does the term “natural” actually refer to when we’re talking about hair? It’s about the way it feels, how much of it there is and its relaxed shape — but do it with a purpose. Let’s look at these curly, coily, braided and bouncy styles that are perfect for a season that can’t be controlled.
Curly Crown with Volume and Confidence
It’s amazing how much confidence these curls can show, as if they are telling people they feel free and strong. With this updo, you can gather your natural curls into a high puff that lifts your face, your mood and your summer clothes. The hair is lifted and shaped, but it still springs back and looks perfect. The curly fringe sweeping the forehead? That’s the detail that seals the deal.
In the heat, staying hydrated is the most important thing for maintaining this style. I always start with a leave-in conditioner like Pattern by Tracee Ellis Ross — her hydration spray is a godsend on those days when the air feels like it’s stealing all your moisture. A light curl cream helps shape your hair without making it look or feel stiff.
What I love about this look is how it’s got presence without trying too hard. If you’re someone who avoids slicked-back styles because they feel too polished, this might be your in-between. It’s a cool, classy and straightforward piece — but I think it would fit in at weddings or rooftop brunches.
A stylist in LA told me last summer to first lean your head forward and let your curls fall into place before pinning the crown. It keeps the bounce alive. Nobody wants crushed curls in July.
Double Puff Playfulness
This one’s just pure fun. Two curly puffs standing tall, looking stylish and modern at the same time. Everything is clean, the edges are neat and the curls are left just loose enough to dance around the temples. It’s adding a bit of fun, a bit of personality and a hint of sass — like, “I have curls and I’m ready for today!”
Edge control is essential here. I can’t get enough of Ebin New York’s 24 Hour Edge Tamer. It doesn’t disappear after just ten minutes in the sun which is impressive. I usually wet my curls again lightly and add some The Doux Mousse Def to keep them in place — it gives hold without making them crunchy.
This style makes me think of my teenage years, but in a good way. There’s something liberating about not taking yourself too seriously and this hair proves it. It’s a wonderful way to start a conversation — I always get smiles from people I don’t know when I wear it. That’s the energy I want to carry into summer.
Remember to wear a satin bonnet or scarf when you sleep, as the bigger the puff, the more easily it can be ruined. I can assure you, you don’t want to find out your puff is deflated like a sad balloon when you wake up.
Braided Halo with a Curly Bun
I’d choose this braided style for a garden party or a summer wedding. French braids are pulled to the back and finished off with a low, full bun that looks formal while still keeping its natural texture. Braids create a halo around the head, making every face look beautiful and soft.
You need good grip to make a style like this work. I like to put a lightweight gel on my roots before braiding and my favorite is Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Butter Gel. It holds well and nourishes at the same time. The bun? That’s where you let the curls run wild. I spray rosewater on my hair before fluffing it for a pretty halo look.
You’ll feel like a princess in this outfit. I had the same hairstyle last year on the Fourth of July and people asked me three times where I got it done — I did it myself in front of the mirror. Braids plus curls = unmatched summer combo.
If you’re still getting used to braiding, you can always try it out a few days before. Or you could ask your cousin or best friend — braiding is always a fun experience.
Defined Box Braids with Twist Ends
You can wear these box braids with curly ends all summer and they look great too. They’re big enough to cover your back and small enough to stay away from your neck when it’s very hot. Thanks to the clear sections and different textures, it looks more refined — tidy at the top and soft at the bottom.
Braids always win when it comes to vacation hair. I use Scalp & Root Oil by Mielle Organics on my scalp and reapply it every couple of days to keep it from drying out. The ends? A curl-defining mousse keeps them juicy and happy. I use Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Curling Mousse because it gives my hair a soft hold and shine.
Besides being practical, protective styles like this make me feel good too. I’m looking after myself, even if I don’t mean to. It’s a simple way to look great that helps you all summer.
If you’re considering a change this year, this is a great choice. Try adding a splash of color or even some beads if you’re feeling like reliving the past. Summer is for joy, and this style gets that.
Short Rounded Curls with ’70s Flair
A short, round, bouncy style is both retro and modern. Think: 1970s disco meets 2025 clean girl aesthetic. The hair is cut so it’s not too short or long and its length reaches the jawline to look young and vibrant. It’s making me the “cool art teacher,” but also the friend people ask for fashion advice.
Keeping the curls defined takes some love. I apply Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic and use a diffuser to make sure the shape stays locked in without harming my curls. And a little scrunched-up hair while drying helps keep the bounce.
The first time I wore this cut, I suddenly felt like I was ten years younger and it wasn’t intentional. A great shape can really brighten your day. You don’t have to worry about styling it every day in summer, since you can just refresh it and go.
And if you’re not sure about a short style, just remember, your hair will come back. But confidence? It’s even more noticeable when your curls are this happy.
Half-Up Curly Puff with Sleek Sides
With this look, you have smooth, straight sides and a big, curly ponytail on top. The shape at the top is both fun and organized, as if it’s eager to get all the attention. The rest of the hair is left free to frame the face and move as you go about your day. It’s that laid-back but stylish summer look — you’d feel ready for both shopping and a barbecue in this outfit.
The key to pulling this off in the heat? A really good smoothing gel that doesn’t flake. Eco Style Olive Oil Gel is my choice — it doesn’t interfere with your texture when holding your sides. A wide-tooth comb and edge brush will make it easier to get the clean part and lift at the crown.
I prefer to use this style on hair that hasn’t been washed for a couple of days. Since the curls are a little thicker, the puff stands out even more. When I need an extra day before wash day, I usually reach for this.
And for the finishing touch? I spray a little shine spray on my hair just before I leave. The sun’s rays and your curls can give you a natural halo and we think that’s great.
Double Dutch Braids with Defined Curls
Talk about a twist on a childhood classic. Perfectly parting these braids, they are then highlighted by a shower of well-defined and juicy curls. Having a clean center keeps the look in balance and the difference between the braids and curls gives a modern touch. It’s nostalgic but modern, sporty but totally wearable with a sundress.
I make sure to part my hair firmly and use a little edge wax to make sure the lines stay sharp in the heat and humidity. I apply As I Am Curling Jelly to my curls immediately after washing and dry them with a diffuser to keep their shape and bounce.
My favorite thing is that this one is very easy to customize. Add beads to the braids? So cute. Wrap a silk ribbon through? Total festival look. The style seems to change with your feelings — and each time you put it on, it looks different.
Frizz at the end of the day is nothing to worry about. Honestly, it adds character. Having messy summer hair doesn’t mean it can’t be powerful.
Half-Up High Bun with Loose Spiral Ends
This half-up high bun with spiral curls is very flirty. The top is gathered into a big, round bun and the bottom is left loose, with its defined texture, moisture and movement intact. It’s like a date after a day at the beach or a meeting for iced coffee in the park.
My favorite way to make curls stand out is with The Mane Choice Tropical Moringa Curl Defining Cream. It helps to moisturize without feeling heavy and it smells like you’re on a holiday. I apply it to damp hair, twist each section and then release the twists to get a defined, but not stiff, look.
This hairstyle always makes me feel a little taller. Maybe it’s the bun placement? Maybe it’s just the extra bounce? In any case, it looks great in photos, so your camera roll will make a great summer diary.
A small suggestion: adding a little edge detail makes a big difference. Even a gentle sweep of your baby hairs can finish off this style nicely.
Layered Curly Shag with Bangs
This style is not afraid of change — it’s a layered curly shag with bold bangs. The fabric texture is the main point and the volume is just right, so the crown doesn’t feel heavy or bulky. The highlight here? That soft, feathery fringe that rests above the brows and blends modern and ‘70s styles. It’s playful, bold, and ridiculously stylish.
I keep this shape by snipping a little bit myself, mainly on the fringe, between visits to the salon. I’ve been using TGIN Curl Bomb Moisturizing Styling Gel for my curls lately. It provides structure that does not make the layers stick together.
This is definitely a look that makes a statement. I put on something similar last summer and always felt like I was being blown by a wind machine whenever I was out. People notice when curls are this well-shaped. And bangs? They’re a mood all their own.
If you’ve been hesitant to change your hair — now is the time to do it. Texture this good deserves to be seen.
Short Fro with Honey Blonde Tips
Having a short fro with golden, honeyed tips can be very impressive. The style is all about keeping natural coils short and neat, so the curl pattern is easy to see. The ends of the hair add depth and motion, even if you haven’t styled them. It’s low-maintenance, chic, and practically made for heatwaves.
It’s important to give your color-treated curls a little extra care in the summer. I apply the Melanin Haircare Multi-Use Softening Leave-In Conditioner after every shampoo — it hydrates my hair without making it feel heavy. I apply a bit of Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother to the blonde parts to make them healthy and shiny.
This style truly gives me a sense of confidence. It’s neat, it’s simple and it helps my features stand out without anything in the way. And the best part? Getting ready in the morning usually takes me five minutes. That’s the kind of summer freedom I’m here for.
Don’t sleep on short hair. Sometimes, the best fashion looks are the ones that show us more than they hide.
Glossy Tapered Curls with a Sculpted Finish
There’s something very strong about a cropped cut like this — the curls are neat and shaped into a perfect outline around the head. The way it’s shiny, the slim edges and how it reveals the shape of the face? It’s pure elegance with just a whisper of attitude. This is one of those cute natural summer hairstyle ideas 2025 that doesn’t scream for attention but gets it anyway.
Styling-wise, I use Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls to get that silky, flexible hold. If it’s very humid, I use Eco Style Gel with Argan Oil only at the edges, so my hair still holds but doesn’t feel sticky. A boar-bristle brush and a satin scarf will maintain your cut in good shape until you wash it again.
The first time I went short was because I got tired of sweating in the summer heat. But the real surprise? I realized I was seeing my face again, as if it had been covered by something all along. There’s something freeing about letting go.
If you’ve been considering getting a short haircut, this is the right time. Low-maintenance never looked so luxe.
Soft Micro Curls with Natural Volume
Here’s another way to look at cropped life, but this one feels lighter and easier. The curls are very tight which results in a halo of soft, light movement. It’s not fussy and looks great, with a light feel that suits hot July days and sudden outdoor meals.
I usually co-wash instead of shampoo with this type of hair, since As I Am Coconut CoWash keeps my curls clean and moisturized. Every few days I refresh with a curl mist (try Kinky-Curly Spiral Spritz) and a few pats of coconut oil to keep everything plush and touchable.
It’s such a laid-back style, it seems almost unbelievable. These cuts actually look their best when you just let them show naturally.
Wearing your texture close to the scalp gives you a boost of confidence. I woke up like this — and I really did mean it.
Wavy Low Bun with a Printed Scarf
It seems like a trip to Tuscany, with its relaxed, romantic and vintage vibe. A loosely wavy hairstyle can be held with a low bun for a neat look; add a woven scarf in any pattern for some playful style. It’s loose and messy in a perfect way, as if you’ve been outside all day and just tied it up before your evening drinks.
This style thrives on beachy texture. If your hair needs a boost, use Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray — it gives your hair grit and volume without feeling stiff. And the scarf? Look for a used one or a shirt with bright, citrus prints — they will make your outfit stand out.
I reach for this when I want to look put together without spending much time. It takes five minutes and somehow feels cinematic. When I wore this in Miami last August, I got more compliments than for any outfit I’ve ever worn.
It’s also the simplest method to make your hair look fresh on day three. Who doesn’t love a summer cheat code?
Sleek Curly Bun with Romantic Tendrils
This look is the definition of soft glam. The hair is gathered into a low, neat bun and two spiral strands fall on each side of the face. It’s a classic look — it’s clean, but you can still see the texture of your hair.
I apply CURLS Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Paste to my hairline and part because it’s thick but doesn’t leave flakes and it smells wonderful. I use Mielle’s Pomegranate & Honey Curl Smoothie to twist the face-framing pieces and allow them to air dry.
This is my picnic-date hairstyle. It’s the best of both worlds — I can relax, enjoy the outdoors and still feel dressed for the camera.
If you’re concerned about humidity making the tendrils frizzy, this isn’t something to worry about. A little frizz adds softness. It’s not about being perfect; the atmosphere is the most important thing.
Cornrow Chic with Summer Sleekness
It’s easy to see why cornrows are popular in the summer: they protect your hair, look great and can be worn in many ways. The rows are braided close together and pulled back to make a simple, athletic and fashionable style. It’s giving clean lines and cool confidence — exactly what we want for sweaty July days.
I’m a big fan of TPH by Taraji’s “Master Cleanse” scalp treatment for a healthy and calm scalp. The cooling tip is meant for use on braided hairstyles. I also make sure to oil my hair lightly every other day using Alikay Naturals Essential 17 Hair Growth Oil.
I chose this outfit for a beach trip last year and it made everything easier. Zero stress. No detangling. No styling. Just wake up and glow.
If you’ve never braided your hair before, get a stylist who is knowledgeable about your curl type to help you.
Beachy Grey Waves with Root Definition
Grey hair is no longer just hip, but also looks cool and stylish — this mid-length wave shows it off beautifully. This hair color makes tousled curls look elegant and sophisticated and the darker roots help give the style definition. Everything is arranged perfectly, with the volume giving off the feeling that sea air did most of the job.
I use Kristin Ess The One Purple Shampoo on my hair once a week to keep it looking silver, as it doesn’t turn my hair blue or dry it out. I follow that with a deep conditioner to make sure my hair stays soft and light.
At first, I didn’t think I could pull off grey, but now I think it’s one of the most effortlessly elegant colors you can choose. It’s like the smoky eye of hair color.
If you’re in the mood for a change from classic summer blondes or brunettes, this cool color might be the one for you.
Loose Curls in a Half-Up Pony with Face Tendrils
A classic way for Gen Z to look tough is with a half-pony, long, loose curls and two pieces in the front to soften the style. It’s casual, confident, and honestly? It feels like something you’d see walking out of a music video shoot.
The secret to keeping this look together is sectioning — a good elastic and a touch of gel at the crown (try Eco Style Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Gel) keeps the top sleek while letting the rest stay bouncy. If your ends look a little rough, you can use a curling wand, but don’t make it too tight.
I put this hair up when I want to look nice without putting in too much effort. It seems like it was done on purpose, but I could have easily thrown it up there. Those are the best kind of styles, right?
And if you’re not ready for a full wash, this will be a lifesaver. Just refresh the top and go.
Full Volume Curly Updo with Soft Bangs
The high, fluffy updo gives your hair a sunny, bouncy and charming look. There are lots of curls on top and sweet bangs frame the forehead. It’s a mix of ballerina and poet and I love how it looks. I think this is one of the most photogenic cute summer hairstyles I’ve come across this year.
Volume starts with moisture. I apply TGIN Rose Water Curl Refresher every morning and use a pick to lift my hair as much as possible. I take the fringe sections and lightly coil them with Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel.
I went to a dinner party wearing this and noticed that my hair made the biggest statement. It gives you that energy — playful but romantic. Plus, no sweaty neck in 90-degree weather. Win-win.
When your curls fall, you can use two loose bobby pins underneath the puff to hold everything in place. It’s the little things that help your style stay in place all day.
Rounded Bob with Curtain Bangs
This rounded bob is equal parts retro and modern. Curls that are just below the chin make the face appear fuller and the natural part of the curtain bangs ties everything together. It’s giving Parisian cool-girl with summer-in-the-city energy. If you want shape, softness, and a little mystery? This is it.
To keep this look, you should keep your bangs moisturized and your ends cut regularly. Bounce Curl Moisture Balance Leave-In helps me shape my hair without making it shrink. I occasionally dry the curtain fringe separately using a diffuser to keep them looking floaty.
I feel like I’m dressing up a bit when I wear a bob like this one. It’s as if I was made to wear a linen blouse and statement earrings, while sipping matcha in the sun. It’s that kind of energy.
If your curls seem a bit tight after washing, that’s no reason to worry. By day two, the volume hits just right.
Fluffy Ginger Curls with Full Shape
The volume. The color. The vibe. If you’re a girl who means business, this is the look for you. Fluffy ginger curls are the highlight of this rounded silhouette which shows warmth and confidence. It’s a perfect blend of light and warmth in a single head of hair.
Since I want to avoid gel, I go with Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk instead. It makes sure your curls are soft and defined, even when the weather is dry and hot. Just a bit of root trimming creates the perfect halo shape.
I decided to try this color one day during winter and now it’s a favorite for summer. Ginger adds a touch of shine to your skin and brightens your appearance, even if you’re wearing something plain.
If you’re thinking about coloring your hair, make sure to go to a professional. Professionals know that dyeing your curls will not harm them, as long as you use the best products and techniques.
Half-Up Curly Bun with Loose Texture
Let’s talk curls with an agenda. This half-up curly bun is not trying to impress—it’s all about its natural texture, volume and a soft look that seems romantic. The curls are pulled up high enough to form a bun that shows you’re put together, but the rest of the hair is left loose to keep it relaxed. I’m a fan of the top bun since it helps lift the hair without making the curls too tight; everything looks comfortable and can be worn in the summer.
I usually pick up my Ouidad Botanical Boost Curl Energizing & Refreshing Spray to keep my curls looking fresh after sunset. It doesn’t make hair crunchy (my ultimate red flag) and it reactivates definition without disturbing the pattern. That’s how you can refresh your curls for a quick brunch when they’re a day or two old.
Honestly? Whenever I’m not sure if I want a cute or casual look, this style helps me get both. It’s useful for both dining in the yard and for shopping at Target. Even when humidity surprises us, this bun keeps everything in check and doesn’t ruin the mood.
If you’ve got naturally curly or wavy hair, give this a shot the next time you’re late but still want compliments. Just don’t skip the diffuser—it’s half the magic.
High Puff with Glossy Edge Detail
There’s something unapologetically bold about a high puff, especially when paired with glossy defined edges. It gives a quick boost, shapes your face nicely and keeps you looking confident all day long. There are plenty of curls that are well-defined and springy, styled high for a dramatic effect but smoothed around the face with stylish edge control. It’s a style that doesn’t worry about getting hot or sweaty.
Edge control is everything here. I find that the Ebin 24 Hour Edge Tamer works best when it’s very hot outside. It holds every curl in place and it adds a soft sheen that makes the entire look more thoughtful. Leave a silk scarf on your hair overnight and your hair will stay well-defined in the morning.
This one makes me think I’m the main character in a story. It’s beautiful how the big top is paired with a precise hairline. It’s low-effort in theory, but the effect is high-impact. A great choice when you want your hair to make a statement before you even get there.
And if you’re experimenting with edge designs? Don’t be afraid to freestyle. In summer, you can have fun with curvy lines, waves and even tiny hearts.
Double Space Buns with Face-Framing Details
You can never go wrong with two buns, especially if they’re high and tight. The double space bun is bringing back memories for Gen Z, but it’s still styled with neat parts, soft hair and a touch of structure. The buns are shaped well and pinned in place and the little curls around the face give the look a casual feel that’s perfect for summer.
I always put on a light styling cream before making the buns and Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk is one of my favorites. Because it hydrates without adding grease, it’s perfect for thick or curly hair during the summer.
I’m drawn to this style because it’s both youthful and cool. It takes me back to block parties, enjoying frozen lemonade and always coming back to Beyoncé on my playlists. And the best part? It stays in place. You can enjoy dancing, swimming or napping and your buns will look great for hours afterward.
If you’d like to make it more special, just put on gold hoops and some dewy highlight. Trust me—it works every single time.
Tight Dutch Braids with Curled Ends
These Dutch braids mean business. From the base to the top, they are neat and follow a pattern that is clean, elevated and stays put. The surprise? The ends that are curled and stick out give the hair a beachy look and soften the whole style. It’s one of those fun summer hairstyles that is both practical and trendy. It’s the same as saying, “I’m athletic, but I already have plans for dinner at 8.”
You should apply a little The Mane Choice Crystal Orchid Biotin Infused Gel to the hair before braiding—it will keep the hair smooth and maintain its shine without drying out your scalp. And for those ends? If you’re not using heat, a small amount of mousse and a twist of your finger will make your hair look great.
I’ve used this look for both travel and pool days and I like that it looks good all day without needing to fix anything. It’s a good way to avoid sun damage to your hair.
You don’t need to add much else. This look kind of steals the whole show.
Crown Braid Updo with Defined Texture
If you’ve dreamed of feeling like a king or queen in no time, this is the product for you. A crown braid updo is always lovely, but when you have natural hair, it becomes especially strong. The braid is wrapped around the head so that it highlights your bone structure and face shape, while keeping everything tucked away from your neck. Perfect for heatwaves, special events, or honestly… Mondays.
I find that using Mielle Organics White Peony Leave-In along with a few drops of argan oil gives my braid a silky texture.
Whenever I wear a crown braid, people always wonder if I had it done at the salon. Nope—it’s the braid and the vibe. It adds a touch of elegance, even if you’re wearing something simple elsewhere.
And hey, if you’re going somewhere fancy this summer? Pair this with glossy lips and barely-there makeup. You’ll look radiant with half the effort.
Precision Cornrows with a Soft Glow
This cornrow look is all about polish. The braids are small and stitched right to the scalp, giving a gentle, yet strong finish. The way this pattern is set up catches the light perfectly and it’s done with a gentle yet deliberate hand. It’s the type of attention that proves you care, but doesn’t seem forced. An excellent choice for warm weather, when you wish to stay crisp and fresh.
I recommend applying a lightweight oil spray to the scalp and braids to maintain them and keep them looking nice—my choice is this one. Taliah Waajid’s Protective Styles Bamboo & Coconut Milk Growth Oil. It prevents your braids from being dry and gives them a bit of sparkle. A silk wrap is something I like to use while sleeping to keep my parting looking sharp.
I always admire how grounded and confident this style makes someone look. It’s practical but beautiful. It doesn’t break when you sweat, get caught in the wind, dance or wait in long security lines. If you want an easy outfit that makes you look calm and collected, this is it.
Hot tip: If your cornrows are freshly done, pair them with minimalist makeup and let your freckles (real or faux!) be the star. There’s something so “clean girl summer” about that vibe.
Chin-Length Box Braids with a Blunt Finish
The chin-grazing box braid bob shows off a bold attitude in a great way. The tight, small braids at the ends of the hair make the whole hairstyle strong and perfectly shaped, just like a bit of sculpted armor framing your face. It’s bold, fashion-forward, and surprisingly lightweight. The defined shape means your hair can be a highlight of your outfit all summer.
This length is actually pretty low-maintenance. Use Design Essentials Scalp & Skin Care Detox Tonic on your roots every few weeks. You don’t need to rinse; just massage it into your scalp to soothe any discomfort or excess product.
This look is my personal power move. I chose something similar for a week of summer photo shoots last year and it really helped me. No styling. No frizz. Just wake up and go. When you add defined eyebrows and a radiant cheekbone, it looks like a complete editorial look.
Thinking of trying box braids short? Do it. You’ll have the sensation of being in your own wind tunnel.
Carefree Shoulder-Length Waves
Soft, tousled waves that fall right to the collarbone? Classic. Effortless. Utterly summer. It’s a style that looks like you didn’t care, but you’ll still get compliments everywhere you go. The hair is light and airy, the texture is easy and not too crunchy and the layers add movement to each strand. It’s a new way to do natural movement—ideal for open-back dresses and days when the windows are down.
I add a little grit and hold to my hair by using Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray when I wear it this way. Just scrunch your hair while it’s damp, let it dry on its own and you’re finished. It’s lazy-girl chic with just enough structure.
This hairstyle reminds me of someone sipping a cold oat latte while wearing linen shorts. Casual, breezy, yet somehow totally photogenic. It doesn’t ask for attention—but it always gets it.
If you’re struggling to find your summer look, this should help you start over. Sometimes the easiest look is also the most beautiful.
Glossy Bantu Knots with Sculpted Edges
Bantu knots are not only a style—they also say something about you. This version is ultra-clean, structured, and full of intention. The knots are tiny and evenly distributed, making a strong design on the head. The sculpted baby hairs at the sides of the head add a little softness to the strong and geometric style.
I’ve found that Shine ’n Jam Extra Hold Conditioning Gel works best for hold and shine. It holds the shape together and gives the glass a nice shiny finish when the sun shines on it. It’s important to add a little aloe or jojoba oil to keep your scalp hydrated.
Whenever I wear Bantu knots, someone always thinks I look like I’m from a movie set. It’s a style that’s both raised, edgy and just a little bit daring. However, you’ll find it’s not as difficult as it seems once you learn how to part your hair.
This style is also a game-changer if you want something protective that doesn’t take all day to install. A weekend reset for your strands and your energy.
Defined Feed-In Braids with Flowing Ends
This type of braiding mesmerizes me—feed-in braids that join into gorgeous long hair. The style of the scalp pattern looks like an architectural design, but the length keeps it feminine. It’s a style that looks fancy and comfortable, so it’s great for summer trips, music festivals or any day you want to wear braids.
I suggest spraying Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Leave-In Conditioner on your hair when you braid it. It helps the length stay moisturized, mainly when you spend a lot of time outside in the sun. I bring a mini edge brush and gel with me to quickly refresh my hairline whenever I’m away from home.
This look gives me main character energy. It’s graceful, glossy, and full of movement. It’s beautiful to see how the long ends of my hair catch the light and wind at golden hour. It’s like every braid tells a story.
If you’ve avoided longer braids just because it’s summer—don’t worry, they’re still a great choice. This one’s breathable, beautiful, and worth it.
