Summer days call for easy things and simple styles. After all, when the sun is shining you don’t want to waste half your day doing your hair, so something quick is a must.

Whether your hair is long, short, curly or straight, there is a hairstyle for you. From gorgeous updos to chic, loose locks, these summer hairstyles will take you from the beach to brunch in style.
