Temperatures are rising and the sun is shining, but heat isn't the only thing on the up and up this season. Summer hairstyles often accommodate our body temperature (all hail the high pony), but comfy doesn't have to mean sloppy. Get inspired by your favorite celebs' summer-ready styles — from the perfect tousled waves to a sleek braided bun.

Gwen Stefani: Flipped Ponytail

Use: Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer

BUY NOW

We've seen Gwen Stefani's style evolve over the course of her career — from '90s grunge to harajuku chic, and back again. More recently, Stefani stunned with this Hollywood-glam ponytail topped off with a front poof and flippy ends.

Unless you're constantly aiming for over-the-top glam, you probably won't be sporting Stefani's look at your 9-to-5. However, we highly encourage the modern twist on this classic look for summer weddings and cocktail-hour events. Use a curling brush to achieve just the right amount of body in the front, party in the back.

Cardi B: Sculpted Waves

Use: Joico Sculpting Gel, $12.35

BUY NOW

Beach waves aren't for everyone. If a sculpted wave is more your style for your summertime glam, you're in luck. We love Cardi B's modern twist on traditional finger waves. For this look, you need a trusty comb to shape the waves, and a healthy blob of strong-hold gel like Joico's amazing Sculpting Gel.

Take this look up a notch by matching Cardi B’s color. She used Manic Panic hair dye in Green Envy to get this hue. Not looking for that kind of commitment? Try a wash-out spray like the new Airbrush Prism Spray by Hush in Teal Breeze.

Jennifer Aniston: Sleek Strands

Use: Bed Head Attention Grabber Flat Iron, $18.79

BUY NOW

Truthfully, we've been coveting Jennifer Aniston's hair for as long as we can remember. While we still support the bouncy Rachel 'do, we might love her take on a classic, straightened look even more. Sleek out your strands like hers with a trusty flat irony. Not only will just a few passes give you sleek strands in seconds, but its super-cute purple hue will look great in your travel bag as you jet-set this summer on vacay.

Chrissy Teigen: French Braided Updo

Use: Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray, $4.29

We love us some Chrissy Teigen here at Best Products, and we also love her chic French-braided 'do for summer. It's perfect for running around town (and looking polished while you're at it).

To keep braids like this in place in the heat, you need a trusty hairspray. We recommend the Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Hairspray that'll give you serious shine and combat frizz while you're out and about this summer.

Zendaya: Sleek Top Knot

Use: Hotop Elastic Ponytail Hooks, $6.36

BUY NOW

If you're going for a tight topknot, standard hair ties are often unreliable, especially if you have thick hair. Throughout the day it loosens, fly-aways appear, the ponytail droops, and ultimately your perfected 'do is looking a little lopsided.

To score Zendaya's supermodel-chic look, you're aiming to achieve a high, fierce pony that stays in place. We suggest using a hooked elastic that you have more control over than your standard hair-tie. If you're feeling festive, you can also embellish your topknot with a fun accessory like Zendaya did here.

We recommend the Oribe Apres Beach spray, which provides that perfect wavy texture without dehydrating your strands like most salt sprays. Just mist some on and scrunch to your heart's content.

Lucy Hale: Sleek Parted Pony

Use: Sebastian Dark Oil, $48.00

BUY NOW

Sometimes summer parties call for practical styles. If you'd rather not melt as you succumb to the humidity of the summer, a sleek parted pony like Lucy Hale's is a great option. To get that truly slicked look, we recommend applying a little of Sebastian's Dark Oil to damp strands before blow-drying your hair straight. Once dry, add a little more to give that shiny-sleek look before the party and wrap it all into a low-key low ponytail.
