4th of July Hair: Our Favorite Quick Hairstyles from Instagram
1. The Scarf Bun
If you’ve been paying attention to the summer hair trends on the ‘gram, from your favorite glossies and celebrities, you’d already know that the scarf is the It accessory of the season. No matter what your plans are for Independence Day, tying a scarf around your bun is a simple styling hack that doesn’t require much time or skill at all. Take cues from Elise Gil and elevate your style with this simple accessory. For more 4th of July hair ideas with scarves, check out our bandana post.
2. The Messy Bun
Let’s face it, sometimes you just don’t have enough energy to create a fancy hairstyle—especially in the summer heat. Keep it cool with a messy bun hairstyle like Miriam. You can’t go wrong with this look. To prevent your hair from weighing down from sweat and oil if you’re spending time outdoors, prep hair with dry shampoo, like Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water and Mimosa Flower Dry Shampoo, before creating your style.
3. Textured Summer Curls
Another sizzling hairstyle idea to add to your list for your festivities is the summer curl. If you have naturally curly hair, treat yourself to a carefree style. The key to nailing this look is more about texture, less about perfectly defined curls, and all about adding shine. After finger-combing your curls, set your look with Bed Head by TIGI Headrush Shine Spray.

4. Lived-In Waves
No time to re-do your waves with a flat iron before heading out? Grab a texturizing spray instead. Recreate this beach wave style from Lauren Fisher using Bed Head by TIGI Queen Beach Salt Infused Texture Spray. The formula has a fast-dry technology so you don’t have to worry about having wet hair before its time to head out the door.
