Think outside the top knot. These ten easy hairstyles will carry you through every possible outdoor barbecue, beach jaunt, and humid wedding summer will throw your way.

Looped Pony
Upgrade your basic ponytail to something so much edgier like Julianne Hough. Knot and pin the length of the tail into a series of loops, then tie it all off with a clear elastic.

Sleek Fishtail
For Marissa Marino, a fishtail braid is a summer staple, whether it's on gritty second-day texture or pin-straight, freshly washed hair.

Twist And Pin
Take inspiration from Cara Delevingne and twist and pin back your lob on just one side, tucking it behind your ear. It leaves the perfect canvas for showing off designer sunglasses.

The New Half-Up
It's the biggest summer hair struggle: you want to wear it up because it's so hot and humid, but you also want to wear it down. Instead of settling for the tradition half-up style, try Brie Larson's reversed version.

Texture Play
Don't hide your natural texture—embrace it, like Zendaya. Slick down your roots to midlengths only, then tie off your hair into a basic low ponytail. The juxtaposition of the fuzzy curls against the sleek shine looks gorgeous for any occasion.

Super Slick
Selena Gomez, Lily Collins, Kim Kardashian, and a dozen other celebrities have taken slicked back hair from the runway to the red carpet. The trick is for your hair to look wet—but not actually be wet. Use a few palmfulls of mousse and strong hold gel to get the style to hold.

Pinned Back
Need an instant hair upgrade? Victoria's Secret Angel Stella Maxwell shows off how pretty simply pinning the front layers of your beachy waves back can look.

Modern Disco
Don't fight the frizz. If you're blessed with big, bouncy, voluminous curls, like Martha Hunt, Kiernan Shipka or Kaia Gerber, leave them alone and be on your way. If you're not, use a ton of salt spray and a small curling wand to create this kind of fuzzy texture.

Low Bun
A low, looped bun, like the one seen on Zoë Kravitz, gets your hair out of your face but looks a little cooler than a chignon. Use an elastic in your same hair color (or a clear one) so there are no harsh lines.

Faux Hawk
Consider the faux hawk your summer updo. With straight hair and tons of shine, the look is tough and party-ready; with soft and natural texture, the look is ideal for a beachside summer wedding. Katy Perry and Shailene Woodley seem to be loving it.
