As temperatures soar and heat and humidity ruin our best hair styling efforts, it’s all too easy to get into a rut. Thankfully there are some summer friendly styles that look chic even when it’s sweltering…

1. The Accent Braid

Not keen on wearing your hair up, but like the idea of keeping your mane off your face? The accent braid is the perfect compromise. For a pretty and practical look that avoids a sweaty hairline, create one or two French braids along the forehead. Be sure to apply the KERLUXE Caviar4 Hair Serum Elixir, £51, first, as this lightweight formula tames frizz, and penetrates the hair cortex to prevent and repair any signs of damage.

2. The Wet Look

No time to wash and style your hair post beach day? This is the look for you. Simply rinse out any chlorine, or salt water and work the KERLUXE 360 Styling Hair Cream, £36, into your wet locks. Comb straight back for added edge or create a deep side parting for a chic modern style.

3. The Top Knot

This summer is the perfect time to reclaim the topknot from the boys. It’s a great option for curly girls as this hair type tends to ‘hold in’ heat, and leaves you quite literally hot headed. Plus, textured versions give the style a nonchalant summer vibe – you can even throw in a few braids for a boho feel. Simply prep curls with the KERLUXE Resplendisse Hair Supreme Oil, £49, before twisting the hair up into a knot.
