While the sunshine may be intermittent, this summer is really delivering on the humidity front. During these cloudy-with-a-chance-of days, maintaining optimal ventilation from head to toe is essential… and that means linen, sandals, and, perhaps most importantly, hair that doesn’t hang heavy on (and then sticks to) the neck and shoulders.
From slicked-back buns to big and bright scrunchies, half ponytails to plaits, we’re taking inspiration from Copenhagen Fashion Week, where the street-style set is serving some excellent summer-appropriate hairstyles. Here are our favorites:

The easy way to lift hair from your face, a slicked bun is also perennially chic.

To recreate a loose knot like this, simply take hair into a low ponytail and then twist until it naturally forms a double knot, then secure. Simple.

As versatile as hairstyles get, the half ponytail is cute, lifts the bulk of your hair away from your face and neck, and takes seconds to achieve.

Boho everything is in, and that includes the hair, too. Whether it’s a duo of plaits worn either side of the head, or a plaited half pony, make sure you experiment with a woven style this summer.
