Summer 2024 Is The Season Of Updo Hairstyles

For those days when you're feeling too lazy to curl, straighten, or blow out your hair, updo hairstyles should be your Summer 2024 go-to. Whether you're looking to go elegant, sleek, office siren-core, or a little bit edgy, an updo can channel the exact energy you're looking for, depending on which style you opt for. 

With just a few hair care products, a good brush or comb, and your clip of choice, you can completely transform your look with a variety of simple updo hairstyles. The humble claw clip has emerged as one of the leading choices among young women for versatile updo hairstyles, but if there's anything that TikTok has taught us, it's that there are countless ways to utilize the clip beyond your 30-second lazy ponytail. With just an extra step or two, it's possible to revamp your look entirely and create a hairstyle that not only looks super chic and put-together but also won't require you to adjust it every hour or so like a typical quick claw clip look. The U-shaped hairpin—which looks exactly like it sounds—has also begun emerging as a popular alternative, especially for those interested in sleeker updo hairstyles. Also known as the French hairpin, it can be used to transform your unstyled hair into an elegant French twist, easy bun, or chignon. 

Many of these clips or pins have exploded in popularity in part due to their user-friendly experience, but also because they allow the user to style their hair without all the breakage that the typical hair tie or rubber band causes, making it no surprise why all of our favorite social media It girls are increasingly opting towards pin or clip updo hairstyles over classic ponytails and messy buns. 

Whether you opt to leave out a few face-framing strands at the front of your face or pull it all back, summer updo hairstyles are also a super chic and incredibly easy way to combat stifling summer heat. With your hair pulled off of your neck and your face, chances are, you'll feel much weighed down by rising temperatures and heavy humidity, so for the next heatwave, keep these updo hairstyles in mind.
