Like a linen caftan you throw over your swimsuit or that comfortable pair of flat sandals you kick around in from June to August, summer hair is not that complicated. In fact, it’s pretty darn easy. These relaxed ponytails, tousled waves and multitasking messy buns will ensure your hair is the last thing on your mind when you hit the beach.
A perfect postswim idea: Pull your hair back into a low braid, letting some pieces stick out. Keep the crown sleek by smoothing on a moisturizing gel like Moroccanoil Styling Gel ($22). "The result is beautiful and effortless," says Dove celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend.

Give this go-to style a quick boost: Tousle up the tail and mist on John Frieda Beach Blonde Sun Streaks Lightening Spray ($10), which is infused with lemon to highlight your strands. It's an easy move that "brightens your entire look," Townsend says.

Make your messy bun multitask by spritzing on a leave-in before you pile up strands. "The sun helps it penetrate better, so your hair will be soft and touchable when you rinse it out at night," Townsend says. Try Alterna Bamboo Beach Summer Recovery Spray ($22).
