Best Summer Hairstyles for Frizzy Hair

Summer can be a time of intense frustration for those with frizzy hair. Humidity and heat exposure combined with dry, fragile, and over-processed hair often results in nightmarish conditions and hairstyling disasters.

The key to styling frizzy hair in the summer is combining the right products with appropriate styles that help to tone down the appearance of frizz and fly-aways. Let's explore the very best summer hairstyles for frizzy hair.

Loose Side Bun
Low and somewhat loose hairstyles are ideal for frizzy hair, as creating a casual pulled back style helps to play down and weigh down excess frizz. This look can be achieved at home and is best attempted with hair that reaches at least the shoulders. Begin by applying an anti-humidity and frizz controlling cream to towel-dried hair. Allow hair to air dry, as blow drying only adds to dryness and frizz. Once hair is thoroughly dried, part hair to the far left side. Gather all hair in both hands and gently pull towards the right side of the back of the head, well below the crown and just above the neck. Twist hair loosely into a flipped down bun and hold into place with an elastic band.

The Wet Look
A hot trend in summer hairstyles for any length of hair, this look can easily be created in the comfort of your own home, and is perfect for hiding frizz. Begin by applying a liberal amount of textured hair gel to wet hair, concentrating on the top section of the hair. Allow 5 - 10 minutes for gel to stiffen. For long hair, place into a low pony tail by gathering hair at the back of the head and holding into place with an elastic band. For medium or shorter hair, comb hair on the top of the head straight back before applying gel, allow gel to stiffen, and hold into place with a decorative barrette.

Cute Curls
Always romantic and stylish, curls help to tone down the appearance of excess frizz by shaping hair. This look can be achieved right at home, and is best attempted by those with hair that reaches at least the chin. Begin by applying an anti-frizz curl-boosting serum to wet hair. Allow hair to air dry, as blow drying only adds to existing dryness and frizz. Once hair is thoroughly dried, place small sections into small-sized hot rollers in the front of the hair and medium-sized hot rollers in the back of the hair. Leave curlers in hair for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove curlers and top off with your favorite hairspray.

High Pony Tail
Great for keeping both cool and trendy in the summer heat, this look can be created right at home, and is best attempted by those with hair that reaches at least the shoulders. The high pony tail is a great summer style for frizzy hair because it pulls roots tightly back while the length of hair is weighed down. Begin by applying a smoothing anti-frizz serum to damp hair and comb through well. Allow hair to air dry, as blow drying only adds to dryness and frizz. Once hair is thoroughly dried, gather all hair above the crown, covering the part with hair, and hold into place with an elastic band.

Beach Waves
Attractive and simple to achieve, the wavy look works wonders for frizzy hair by weighing down dried sections with light styling products. This look can easily be created in the comfort of your own home, and is best attempted by those with hair that reaches at least the chin. Begin by parting hair just off-center and applying an anti-frizz mousse to wet hair. Allow hair to air dry, gently combing fingers through hair and scrunching roots with hands as it dries. Top off with your favorite hairspray.
