This summer hairstyle looks gorgeous, but it's not at all complicated to do. In fact, you don't even need a mirror. Simply weave tresses into a low braid then twist them around to form a bun. For a sleek effect, straighten hair beforehand and finish with a frizz-fighting hairspray. We like the John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray, $8.99.

Volume on the Front
Prefer to wear your hair down but want the layers off your face? Instead of automatically pinning then back, try a different approach. Part front layers into a deep side part and tease to create volume. It has a vintage vibe, frames the face and there's no need to stress about sweaty, piecey bangs.

Undone Bun
Take a leaf out of Meghan Markle's beauty book and try an undone bun when duty calls. This effortless runway version is parted in the center with the ends loosely twisted in the back. If a few layers come out throughout the day, it's fine.

Half-Up, Half-Down
Half-up, half-down hairstyles fight frizz without having to saturate hair with product. Keep the look fresh by tweaking the part and experimenting with volume. Take inspiration from this half updo which swoops side-parted hair into a retro style with a bit of volume. It earns major style points, plus it's formal enough for work.

Ballerina Bun
A ballerina bun is an office-appropriate summer hairstyle that won't let you down. The gravity-defying, twisted nature of top knots can sometimes be too casual in an office but not the ballerina bun. Keep it chic by avoiding hair-nets of any kind and by smoothing down errant baby hairs. Pro tip: Run an old toothbrush that has been misted with a bit of hairspray over front layers for a sleek finish.
