by Hot weather, no effort? We’ve got you. Whether you’re running late to a lecture, heading to the park, or recovering from a heavy night at the SU, these summer hairstyles take less than five minutes but still give ‘I tried’ energy.
1. The Old Money Claw Clip Updo
The TikTok classic. Just twist your hair up, secure it with a claw clip, and pull a few strands loose to frame your face. It’s perfect for second-day hair and gives that effortlessly chic vibe, especially with gold hoops and sunglasses.
2. Bubble Ponytail
Make a basic pony look fun by adding a few clear elastics down the length and gently pulling each section to ‘bubble’ it out. Works on straight, wavy or curly hair and looks way more put-together than it actually is.
3. Baby Braids
Take two small strands from the front, braid them tightly, and secure with tiny clear bands. You can leave the rest of your hair loose, tie it back, or go half-up. Cute, low-effort and totally heatwave approved.
4. Messy Bun with a Bandana
Sling your hair up in a messy bun and tie a colourful bandana or scarf around your head for peak beachy energy. Great for hiding greasy roots and adding a pop of colour to any outfit.
5. Sleek Low Bun with Sunnies
The easiest way to fake ‘clean girl’ energy. Comb your hair into a low bun with a centre part, slick it down with a touch of gel or leave-in conditioner, and finish with oversized sunglasses. Done.
