If you’re rocking a pixie cut this summer, then you’re already set to beat the heat. But, for the ladies with longer locks, summer can turn your head into a frizzy mess. What’s a girl to do?! If you aren’t committed to sporting a new ‘do, then you’ll need a style that’ll keep your hair in check all summer long.

Sure, you can always throw your hair up into a high pony or top knot. But you should be able to express yourself with fun, creative hairstyles while also staying cool. When the humidity won’t hold a blow-out, try these five summer updos to help you clap back at that summer heat!

Also known as a Dutch braid, “boxer braids” are when you braid your strands under instead of over in a typical French braid. This helps create a bit of height and added texture for a kick-ass look whether you’re pounding the pavement or hitting the trails.

Follow this tutorial from A Beautiful Mess to get this look.

Want a hairstyle with a bit more elegance? Watch this video tutorial by Missy Sue to try out these twisty, low buns. It’s the perfect style to get your hair off your neck and keep you cool from your morning commute to happy hour on the patio.

When one bun won’t do, try three! Stacking three buns on top of each other creates an edgier look that’s pretty easy to achieve. Perfect for mornings when you want to look chic with minimal time and effort. Get the summer hair tutorial here.

When the heat hits, nothing feels better than piling your hair on top of your head. But, a top-knot is plain and simple, and tends to slip out of place over time. This inverted braid updo dresses up a basic ballerina bun, and keeps it securely in place. Check out the full tutorial from Abby Smith’s Twist Me Pretty blog or her YouTube Video Tutorial.

From braids to buns, there are several fun ways to keep your hair up when it’s stinkin’ hot out. Whether you’re going for a run, or simply running after your kids, stay cool this season with these hot-weather hairstyles.
