As summertime hits, it’s time to prepare for the heat wave, change your wardrobe and your hairstyle. Summer hairstyles for men need to be cool, sexy, and effortless. This is the supreme trifecta you should aim for if you want to make sure you have the perfect haircut this summer. Therefore, to help you out, we have prepared a list of no less than 50 summer hairstyles to inspire you which includes all your favorite celebrities.
1. Long Summer Hairstyles for Men
If you’ve got it, flaunt it! That’s what they say. And there’s absolutely no better time to flaunt long, curly hair than in summertime. Let your curls hang loose in the breeze as your strut poolside in a new bathing suit.
2. Medium Summer Hairstyles for Men
The beauty of this haircut is that it requires very low maintenance. All you have to do is make sure you keep it nourished with some conditioner. In the meantime, run your fingers through your hair to keep it in place.
3. The Jaden Smith
As promised, this list is chock full of celebrities and their summer hairstyles and Jaden Smith is merely the first one. He’s wearing his signature medium dreads and a red rose behind one of his ears.
4. The Messy Bun
The man bun is, probably, the hairstyle of the decade for men. It’s not out of trend yet so you can still sport this messy version when you go to the beach this summer. It will protect your hair from getting wet.
5. Man Braids
The second most controversial hairstyle of the decade for men is man braids. They come in many shapes and sizes and we simply love them as summer hairstyles for men. Therefore, we suggest you give them a try this season.
6. Flowery Summer Hairstyles for Men
A simple way of embellishing your hairstyle this summer is by wearing some natural flowers, especially if you’re planning on going to one of the major festivals, such as Coachella. It’s time to bend gender and styling rules!
7. Surfer Summer Hairstyles for Men
The classic picture we have of the ‘surfer dude’ is that of a tanned youth with medium to long messy blonde hair. That is, of course, a stereotype. However, we won’t deny that this is a beautiful hairstyle.
8. Blonde Summer Curls
Speaking of blonde hair, how would you feel about adding a bit of blonde ombre to your natural hair color this year? It will look as if you’ve spent a lot of time basking in the sunlight and your hair has lightened up naturally.
9. The Summer Bowl Haircut
Yes, in case you didn’t already know, the bowl haircut is slowly but surely trying to become a thing again. People have been spotting it again on Instagram, in China, Japan, and at different fashion shows. Here are some more ideas on the modern bowl haircut.
10. Layered Summer Hairstyles for Men
Nothing says summer better than a few highlights and a layered haircut. After your trip to the stylist you will practically look as if you’ve just stepped off a boat into the marina and heading for a bite of lunch of surf and turf.
11. Shaggy Summer Hairstyles for Men
Although hot summers are not exactly the perfect season to think about growing or maintaining a bushy beard, that doesn’t mean you have to shave yours off if you already have one. However, we do advise you trim it down for comfort reasons.
12. Spiked Summer Hairstyles
Even though the 2000s are long gone now, spikes refuse to leave. You can still sport them here and there, especially in summertime when teens don’t have to cover their heads with a hat. This is a youthful hairstyle, perfect for a stylish high school boy.
13. Wavy Summer Hairstyles for Men
The curls get the girls. That’s a fact and there’s no way around it. But you can get girls with wavy hair as well, especially when you grow it out to a medium length, and wear it in a casual, care-free way.
14. The Buzz Cut
This is by far the most appropriate in terms of convenience haircut for summer. It’s as simple as they come and requires the lowest level of styling and maintenance imaginable. Even after you take a shower, you can just walk out the door and the summer sun will do the drying out for you.
15. The Fauxhawk
The world has been in love with fauxhawks ever since we discovered we can keep wearing Mohawks but change them a little so that we could still be allowed into schools and offices. Adding a little color is what will make this interesting haircut a summery one.
16. Cute Summer Hairstyles for Men
This is what we would call a compromise haircut. It’s when you want a short haircut but are not ready to give up your curls just yet. Therefore, you cut your hair short in the back and on the sides and keep your curls on top.
17. Long and Straight Summer Hair
If you need to keep your hair out of your face while the wind blows or not to get sand in it, you can always go for a classic and simple ponytail. Tie a loose one at the back of your head and let your hair speak for itself.
18. Ice Blue Summer Hairstyles for Men
Non traditional colors are having a huge moment right now. Cosmetic companies have come up with hair dyes that are super easy to use at home for the first time in history, guaranteeing that you will get the exact shade of pink, blue or purple that you want.

21. The Chris Hemsworth
It’s no surprise to anyone that the God of Thunder himself looks just as mighty off screen as he does on screen. In real life, actor Chris Hemsworth has the same look as Thor. This means short cropped hair and a very well-trimmed beard.
22. The Zac Efron
