Top 5 Summer Hairstyles to Try with Extensions

Summer is the perfect time to embrace effortless, sun-kissed styles—and your extensions make it even easier to look beach-ready every day. Whether you’re heading to the shore or enjoying rooftop drinks, these five hairstyles are simple, lightweight, and perfect for the season.

Before styling, always detangle gently using ViolaRosa’s Detangling Brush to prevent shedding and keep your extensions smooth.


1. The Beachy Wave

Nothing says “summer” quite like soft, natural waves.

How to get the look:

  • Apply Kevin.Murphy HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY or Shibui Texture Mist to damp hair.

  • Scrunch and let your hair air dry, or use Mane Label’s Sway for heatless, overnight waves.

  • Finish with a touch of Kevin.Murphy SHIMMER.SHINE for that luminous, golden glow.


2. The Low Ponytail

Keep cool and chic with a sleek low ponytail.

How to get the look:

  • Brush your extensions gently with ViolaRosa’s Detangling Brush.

  • Smooth flyaways with Kevin.Murphy EASY.RIDER or Shibui Smoothing Cream.

  • Wrap a small section of hair around the base for a polished finish.

3. The Half-Up Twist

Perfect for brunch or casual summer dates, this look shows off your length while keeping your hair off your face.

How to get the look:

  • Gather the top half of your hair and twist it loosely.

  • Secure with a claw clip or bobby pins.

  • Spritz Kevin.Murphy SESSION.SPRAY FLEX to hold the look in place.

4. The Messy Bun

A summer favorite that works for any occasion—from poolside lounging to errands in the city.

How to get the look:

  • Pull your hair into a loose bun and pin it in place.

  • Let a few pieces fall naturally for that relaxed vibe.

  • Add a light mist of Shibui Sea Salt Spray for texture.

5. The Sleek Braid

A timeless, low-maintenance look that beats the heat.

How to get the look:

  • Brush your extensions thoroughly and apply Kevin.Murphy SMOOTH.AGAIN to tame frizz.

  • Braid tightly and secure with a soft tie.

  • Add a dab of Shibui Gloss Serum for a silky finish.

Summer Styling Tip

Keep your extensions hydrated and protected all season long. Use Shibui’s nourishing care line or Kevin.Murphy’s HYDRATE-ME.WASH and RINSE to lock in moisture after every beach or pool day.
