15 Quick Curly Hair Tutorials For Summer

by Jessica Willingham

In my opinion, curly hair is the best hair. But the summertime heat and humidity can make it hard to deal with, so here's 15 quick hairstyles for curly hair that will keep you feeling cool and cute all summer long.

Summer is hard on curly hair because external factors like sun, humidity, and dry air can damage and deflate your curls. My ringlets dissolve into plain 'ol frizz and unmanageable tangles during dry summer months, and it can be plain miserable. Styling my hair turns into a battle of will power. Saving shampoo for every other wash or so and leave-in conditioning products can help keep your curls looking and feeling healthy.

Even if your 'do is feeling less than fresh lately, there's hope. Luckily, curly hair style tutorials are all over YouTube. You can find styles that transition easily from gym to date night, styles that help stretch the time between washes, and styles that can help you fall in love with your curls all over again. These modern styles embrace baby hairs, flyaways and frizz and use them to create unique textures and looks. Instead of fighting against your curls, these tutorials teach you to work what your mom (or dad) gave you.

Here are 15 curly hairstyles to add to your repertoire.

1. Buns For Natural Curls

How adorable are these updos? They're perfect for pool days or playing on the beach.

2. Fauxhawk

This edgy look is so easy.

3. Beach Wave Braids

Braids are a great go-to for curly hair, because you can skip a wash and still keep things manageable.

I love a mini top knot for brunch or the office when my top layer of hair is too dry to cooperate.

Letting your curly hair air dry is a great way to keep it healthy, and these styles will look adorable without a ton of extra product.

7. No Brush Needed

Showcase your curls instead of trying to brush them away. These styles are so minimal, you'll be ready to go in just a couple minutes!

8. For Short Curls

Just because you have short hair doesn't mean you have to skip the volume.

This braided hairstyle takes two minutes to complete! All you need is a couple small elastics.

Long, curly hair can be heavy but you can still do some amazing updos.

Yay! Gather up all that hair into a romantic braid that looks gorgeous and keeps hair out of your face.
