As summer rolls around the corner, bringing with it the promise of sun-kissed days and balmy nights, it’s the perfect time to shake up your style with some of the season’s most fashionable hairstyles for medium curly hair.
Curly tresses can be both a blessing and a playful challenge, and this year’s trends are all about embracing that natural texture with flair and ease.
Let’s dive into the freshest ways to let those curls make their summer statement.
Effortless Elegance
Who says you can’t be effortlessly chic? The first style, reminiscent of off-duty models and carefree summer days, is a textured bob with just the right amount of wave. Ideal for those hot days when you want to look put together without the fuss, this short ‘do with a tousled finish is a no-brainer for round faces, giving a soft, flattering frame to your features. To recreate this look, work with your natural curls by adding a texturizing spray to damp hair, then let it air dry to perfection.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Summer and bohemian styles go hand in hand like beach waves and salty air. The second style speaks to the free-spirited at heart, featuring a loose braid that crowns the head, flowing into soft, sun-streaked waves. It’s a simple yet captivating style for shoulder length haircuts for women who wish to add a touch of boho chic to their everyday look. To achieve this, pull out some face-framing strands to keep the vibe easy and natural.
Twisted Tenderness
Next, we have a twisted half-up that’s as sweet as a summer romance. This style showcases your wavy locks in a playful, yet easy and quick updo. It’s perfect for a pool day or a casual outing. Let your natural curls create the texture while the twist adds an element of refined whimsy.
Casual Cool
Then, there’s the low-maintenance yet high-impact half-up twist, ideal for thick and frizzy hair that’s looking for a simple solution. This style is about embracing imperfection, making it a favorite for a beach hangout or a hot days’ excursion. Plus, it’s a quick easy method to control those natural curls while still showing them off.
Summer Statement Updo
Turning the volume up on elegance, we encounter a high bun accentuated with a chic scarf—proving that updos for long hair aren’t the only way to make a statement. This style works wonders on shoulder length hair too, especially when you want to keep cool yet look sizzling. Tie a patterned scarf around your bun for that extra oomph!
Beachy Braid
Nothing says summer quite like a sun-drenched braid. This next look is a testament to the timelessness of a French braid, perfect for long, thick hair. It’s a look that can take you from the sandy shores to a seaside dinner without missing a beat. Secure it with a transparent elastic for a modern touch, or weave in a ribbon for some old-school charm.
Messy Chic
The penultimate style exudes a laid-back vibe with a messy bun that’s shoulder length friendly. This updo has the ease of a morning routine that’s as simple as a sip of coffee on a terrace. It’s an embodiment of the natural, simple beauty of summer—relaxed, unpretentious, yet utterly stylish.
Sophisticated Simplicity
Finally, there’s a love affair with minimalism in this poised half-up bun. This look balances the line between casual and sophisticated, making it an excellent choice for an impromptu garden party or an evening of gallery hopping. The layered texture gives a nod to natural movement, while the bun keeps everything neatly in place.
Boho Bliss
Envision yourself walking down a sun-drenched path, with your hair styled in a laid-back, simple updo that’s as breezy as your summer dress. This style features a loose, messy bun, adorned with a delicate, black lace that whispers of bohemian dreams. It’s quick easy to pull off and absolutely charming for those with natural waves or frizzy tendrils, seeking a short escape from the summer heat.
Gold and Bold
Imagine a summer evening out, your hair caught in a twist of sophistication with bold gold hair accessories. It’s a style that plays well with layered, thick, or even natural hair, adding an air of luxury without much effort. These statement pieces aren’t just for guests long attending a fancy event but also for the woman who wants to turn the sidewalk into her own fashion runway.

Whether you’re picking up fresh flowers or heading to the farmers’ market, this look says “I’ve got this” with a laid-back flair.
Tousled Tresses
Some say natural curls are a blessing, and they’re not wrong, especially when they fall perfectly to frame the face. This style is a toast to those long thick waves that cascade down in a gentle, tousled manner, held back just enough to say “I’m effortlessly chic.” It’s the quintessential summer look that works marvels for round faces.
