Summer And Spring Hairstyles

It’s already tough enough to decide what to wear during these dog days. Forget breaking out the hot tools and attempting an elaborate hairstyle, right? 

You can always count on a topknot for sure. But there’s a whole world of easy but fun hairstyles that complement summer nails and pastel florals. And don’t be afraid because summer and spring are perfect for trying out fun, new hairstyles, and colors! With warmer weather and longer days, there’s no better time to experiment with your look. 

1. Beachy Waves

Beachy waves are always in style during the summer. You can achieve this look by using a curling iron or hot rollers. You can also braid your hair while wet and let it air dry.

2. Braids

Braids are another famous spring and summer hairstyle. There are many different types of braids to choose from, such as:

  • French braids

  • Dutch braids

  • Fishtail braids

  • Waterfall braids

  • Box braids

  • Side braids

  • Crown braids

3. Updos

Updos are a great option to keep your hair off your face and neck during the hotter months. There are many different updos to choose from, including bun updos, ponytail updos, curly updos, and chignon updos.

4. Pixie Cuts

Pixie cuts are an excellent choice for spring and summer because they’re easy to style and maintain.

The central feature of the modern pixie cut is its volume and length, creating a sense of naturalness. Another version is the mixie, a fusion of a pixie and a mullet.

If you have a pixie cut, use a light-hold hairspray to keep your hair in place.

5. Lob (Long Bob)

A lob or a long bob is a popular hairstyle for summer because it’s easy to style. It also looks fabulous with beachy waves!

If you have a lob, you can style it in many ways, including straight, wavy, or curly. Use a curling iron or hot rollers to create loose waves for your lob. Then, you can use your fingers to tousle the waves.

6. Top Knot

The topknot is a great way to keep hair out of your face. It’s perfect for hot spring or summer days or when you’re working out.

7. Messy Bangs

If you want to look and feel younger, try adding bangs to your hairstyle. You can choose from several styles, so pick what you like and what suits your face shape. The hottest styles are the edgy, messy bangs in spring and summer. Messy bangs are great if you’re going for a more modern look.

8. Messy Hairstyles

Are you busy and do not have enough time to waste in front of the mirror? Do you want to get a new hairstyle quickly without exerting too much effort?


If you’re busy or lazy but want to change your look with a new hairdo, you can try a messy hairstyle. Try long, messy boho waves, messy updo, messy braids, and messy layered bob — these always look good when done right. They’re quick, easy, and casual.

9. Barely There Waves

Want a relaxed style that looks like you barely tried but has everyone wanting to know how you did it?

Well, waves that almost don’t look like waves are it.

You can achieve this look on straight or wavy hair textures. The easiest way is to put your hair into twists while wet and blow-dry. You can also use a flat iron to add a crimped-wave look. Don’t be afraid to leave a few pieces straight or forget to get underneath — the messier it looks, the better.

10. Buzzcut

Often considered an extreme choice, a shaved head is a big trend for spring and summer. Over the years, many celebrities have opted for this haircut, like Demi Moore and Charlize Theron. Indeed a bold yet irresistible choice.

Spring And Summer Hair Color

Are you looking to add some extra oomph to your hair? Bold new hair color is the perfect way to do it. From fiery reds to bright blondes, there’s a perfect hair color for everyone.

Not sure which shade to choose? The Lab Lounge can help you find the perfect color for your spring and summer escapades. Are you taking a little dip in the color pool? Or are you going for a full dive into dimensional color? These stunning ideas will make you turn heads for all the right reasons!

1. Ombre

Ombré is a hair color trend that has been popular for a few years now. Ombré hair is usually darker at the roots and gradually gets lighter towards the ends.

2. Highlights

Highlights are a great way to add dimension to your hair. You can highlight your entire head or just certain sections. You can do highlights at home with a highlighting tool or go to a salon.

3. Balayage

Balayage is a type of highlight that is becoming increasingly popular. Balayage is painted on your hair, resulting in natural-looking highlights that blend with the rest of the hair. It’s perfect for those who want to add some color to their hair without seeing drastic changes.

4. Mermaid Hair

Mermaid hair gets hype for a reason! Imagine dark hair that gets bursts of pastel or neon hues — specifically shades of blue, green, and purple? You’ve got yourself the perfect hair to complement your hair and skin color. You can play with rich colors woven throughout the length of your hair or towards the ends.

5. Dark Roots

Dark roots with lighter ends are a popular trend for spring and summer. Go for blonde hair and dark roots for that easy California chic look.

6. Platinum Blonde

This color is perfect for those who want to make a bold statement. You could also keep it cool with a chill color. Go for ice blonde, then add some silver and grey for that cool monochromatic look that will freeze hearts.

7. Brunette With Caramel Highlights

Rich, chocolatey shades are perfect for the spring and summer seasons. Natural brunettes can add dimension and warmth with subtle highlights in rich toffee browns or ashy blondes. Even the tiniest addition of honey can warm up your skin and eye color.

8. Red

From fiery copper to deep auburn, redheaded ladies will be turning heads all season long. Coral is a pleasing hue that you can choose. Not quite red, not quite orange — just on fire! Take this vibrant summer hair color to the next level with a fun cut. Paired with a bold lip and sunnies, you’ll be good to go at a moment’s notice.

9. Tie-Dye

Here’s a stunning solution for girls who want everything at once. Use ash blonde hair as a base for rainbow highlights, including the season’s most popular pastel and neon hues.

10. Pink Hair

Pink hair is so pretty, especially for spring and summer. Are you thinking about trying a pastel look in these seasons? Whip out your home color kit and choose pink to highlight your features and elevate your style instantly.
