The thought of all women during the heat wave is to hold the hair up so that it is away from the face and neck. Lately, many stars are doing exactly that, through hairstyles with clams (recently adopted by celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez and Ayo Edibiri) and sexy, elegant hair looks, as seen on Keke Palmer, Doechii and Penelope Cruz.

Whether you wear your hair up or down, embracing your natural texture is a great idea: not only is it the “way” of least resistance against sweat and humidity, but it also looks pretty cool (just think Zendaya, Chase Infiniti and Lupita Nyong’o). You can also opt for a loose chignon or ponytail or pull your hair back with a scarf. And if you need more inspiration for your hairstyles, you can just take inspiration from your favorite A-listers.

Kim Kardashian

Ubiquitous in the ’90s and early ’00s, clamshells are back—even Kim Kardashian wore one with a Gucci dress at an F1 event in Monaco. It is one of the best hair accessories to keep your hair stylish and naturally off your neck.

If you have a short haircut, now is the time to embrace your natural texture, as Zendaya recently did on a sultry day in New York. Use lightweight styling creams to define your curls and set your hairstyle.

Havana Rose Liu

Her lush, voluminous ponytail (created by hairstylist Eduardo Méndez) embraces her hair’s texture. It is a great choice for those with long wavy hair. After you shower, apply a product ideal for hair that is left to dry naturally, leave a tuft out of the ponytail, create your ponytail and you’re good to go.

Penelope Cruz

If you have cocktail parties, formal events or dates planned, be inspired by Penélope Cruz’s “Coco No 5” hairstyle, created by hairstylist Dimitris Yannetos. The high gloss finish of her hair gave her messy chignon a more elegant look.

Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber (in collaboration with hairstylist Gregory Russell) paired her Calvin Klein mini dress with a pretty white scarf. Scarves are not only a stylish way to keep your hair out of your face, but they can also protect your scalp from the sun’s harmful rays.
