When the temperatures rise, the last thing you want to deal with is hair sticking to your neck or losing its shape in the humidity. Whether you’re heading to a summer event, jetting off on holiday, or just trying to stay cool on the school run, choosing the right hairstyle can make all the difference.
At Iconic Hairdressing, we’ve rounded up the Top 5 Heat-Proof Hairstyles our stylists are loving this —plus the salon-favourite products that will help keep your look flawless all day long.
☀️ 1. The Textured High Pony
The high ponytail is a classic, but adding a bit of undone texture gives it that effortless summer vibe. Think soft volume, loose waves, and a scrunchie or silk scarf for a little extra style.
Why it works:
It keeps hair off your neck and looks great even as it loosens throughout the day.
Stylist tip:
Use Joico Beach Shake to add body and hold without crispiness, or a spritz of dry shampoo for lift at the roots.
🌿 2. Braided Crown or Halo Braid
Romantic and practical, braided crowns are ideal for garden parties, festivals, or even everyday wear when you want to stay cool but look put-together.
Why it works:
It keeps your hair completely off your face and works brilliantly on second-day hair.
Recommended product:
A touch of Color Wow Style on Steroids gives grip and volume, making braiding easier and more defined.
✂️ 3. The Chic Bob or Lob
Shorter cuts are making a huge comeback this season. From a sleek chin-length bob to a tousled long bob (lob), these cuts are perfect for beating the heat while staying super stylish.
Why it works:
Less hair = less sweat! And these styles dry faster too.
In the chair:
Ask your stylist for soft layers to keep movement and shape, even in humidity.
Finish with:
Joico Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Oil to add shine and prevent frizz without weighing hair down.
💁♀️ 4. Messy Bun with Face-Framing Pieces
The humble messy bun gets a glow-up this summer with a few styled tendrils left loose around the face. This easy style can go from morning errands to evening cocktails.
Why it works:
Quick, cool, and always flattering.
Stylist tip:
Start with a bit of Color Wow Dream Coat after your wash—it keeps frizz at bay so your loose pieces still look sleek.
🌬️ 5. Half-Up, Half-Down Knot
Perfect for medium to long hair, this style keeps the top section tied back (so you’re not constantly brushing hair out of your face), while the rest flows freely.
Why it works:
It’s cool and casual, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Product pick:
Add a little Joico Body Shake for volume and movement before styling. Bonus: it smells amazing too!
