Summer is the season for breezy dresses, icy treats, and, more often than not, ponytails—simply because they're easy and keep your neck cool. But this is the time to step outside your comfort zone. From emerging Instagram trends to runway and red carpet styles that are bound to take off in real life, we’re predicting these seven looks will be everywhere for summer 2020.

All Tied Up
Simply by replacing one of the sections in your braid with the scarf of your choice, you’ll get a cool new look—plus, the scarf adds major volume.
Hairstylist Lacy Redway proves that you don't need more than a few strips of black ribbon to make a basic ponytail look like a million bucks.
For scarf hair 2.0, turn that braid into a topknot, like the style hairstylist Justine Marjan created for Jasmine Sanders.

Braided Pigtails

Maya Hawke's shoulder-length shag was one of 2019's most covetable haircuts, so it's no surprise she's ahead of the trend with her slightly shorter version.
