Summer Hairstyle: Zendaya's Tucked Bob
In April, Zendaya [9] stunned while on the red carpet to promote her hit show "Euphoria [10]." Combining the wet-hair trend with a bob, the front of the actor's hair had a sleek yet wavy look to it, and she combed it to the back of her head, tucking the ends for a chic, timeless, tucked-bob hairstyle that could take you from work to happy hour easily.

Summer Hairstyle: Yara Shahidi's Bantu Knots
If you're a fan of Bantu knots, give them a summery update, as seen on Yara Shahidi [12]. The actor's hairstylist SherriAnn Cole [13] left out some face-framing pieces and slicked down Shahidi's baby hairs for the hairstyle, but in a way that gave them more texture rather than setting them in place.
The Bantu knots themselves also got a slight upgrade, with Cole leaving the ends of the knots out instead of wrapping them around the base, as is done with the traditional version of the style.
Summer Hairstyle: Emily Ratajkowski's Wispy Bangs
Emily Ratajkowski recently debuted a new hairstyle at the Cannes Film Festival, and the look just screams summer. The model showed off her wispy bangs on Instagram, and though the style is a departure from her usual curtain bangs and middle part, it gave a light, airy feel to her face that makes it perfect for summer.
