Honestly, I'm not sure what's happening stateside, but here in London, we seem to have settled on a climate that's not too dissimilar to what I imagine living in a tropical rainforest would be like. It swings between bright sunshine and intense downpours, and is certainly not conducive to good hair days (for me, at least). Nevertheless, there's plenty of amazing summer hair inspiration to be found right now, so think of this as a wish list for not only your hair but also for the glorious weather that might still be to come.

I haven't worn pigtails since elementary school, but Courtney's double braids are making me rethink everything. Bonus: You'll be left with heat-free beach waves the next day too.

To keep your topknot looking relaxed (and not like you're about to give your face a wash), work a few strands loose around the nape of your neck like Alexa.

The high ponytail was a '90s hairstyle staple, but it's making a comeback for summer 2019 with stylish women like A-J updating the trend by braiding their ponies instead of leaving the strands loose.
