Staying classy doesn’t have to mean extra hours in front of the mirror. We’ve prepared a list of the best low-maintenance formal hair ideas for the Summer of 2022, so without any further ado, let’s dive straight in:

Braided Crown

Elegant and easy to wear, the braided crown is perfectly suited for women with long hair that want a hairstyle that can endure rain, wind, and inescapable summer heat. 

Two braids joined by a pair of bobby pins are all that is required for this gorgeous look. It is also highly customizable, but what makes it a great choice for this summer is the fact that your neck will be able to breathe and you won’t have to worry about unruly strands falling in your eyes. 

Slicked Back

Arguably one of the smartest-looking hairstyles men can sport in Summer 2022, the slicked back will serve you well through any formal occasion. If you are attending a business ceremony by the pool, you can always fix it up even if it gets wet; if a wedding party at a crowded place is coming up, a bit of strong hair gel will keep it in place for days. 

Men: whether you are a fan of facial hair or not, wearing glasses, or feel like experimenting with your hair after the event, this hairstyle may be what you are after. 

Women: this simple look works for most facial types and pairs well with accessories. 

Curly Taper Fade

The universal solution for curly men and women that plan on cutting their hair this summer is the curly taper fade hairstyle. Keep the main part of your hairstyle intact and trim the sides, which will make your wild hair look somewhat tamer. Additionally, you won’t sweat as much around the ears, and maintaining your freshly cut hair will be much easier.

Undercut

Undercuts are making (yet another) comeback in 2022. Did they ever really go away? After the 2018 hype, this hairstyle disappeared almost as quickly as it emerged on the global fashion scene. Given that it is not such a novelty anymore, most people can appreciate its simplicity, even at formal events. 

Paired with a well-trimmed beard and a pair of sunglasses, anyone sporting an undercut will look classy at any given wedding, business meeting, or press conference.
