Summer Hair
Summer is all about pool days, vacations, camp adventures, and spending more time having fun and less time getting ready. For busy families, a low-maintenance haircut can make summer mornings easier while helping kids stay cool, comfortable, and confident all summer long.
At Pigtails & Crewcuts, we know parents love haircuts that look great without requiring much styling. Whether your child loves running through sprinklers, swimming every afternoon, or heading off to summer camp, the right haircut can make all the difference.
Why Low-Maintenance Haircuts are Perfect for Summer
During the summer months, kids are constantly on the move. Heat, humidity, chlorine, and outdoor activities can make hair harder to manage. A simple, easy-to-maintain haircut helps:
- Reduce tangles and knots
- Keep kids cooler in the heat
- Make morning routines faster
- Help hair look neat even after busy summer activities
- Cut down on styling time for parents
The best summer haircuts are practical, comfortable, and still full of personality.

A timeless favorite, the crew cut is short, clean, and easy to maintain. It keeps hair off the neck and requires very little styling, making it perfect for active summer days.

The Textured Crop
This slightly longer style adds texture while still being easy to manage. It works well for straight, wavy, or curly hair and looks great even with minimal effort.

A bob is stylish, lightweight, and easier to brush than longer hair. It can be worn down, clipped back, or pulled into small ponytails for summer activities.

Long Layers
For girls who prefer longer hair, adding layers can help reduce bulk and tangles while making hair easier to manage after swimming or outdoor play.
The Pixie Cut
Short, playful, and easy to style, a pixie cut is a fun option for kids who want a carefree summer look.
Summer Hair Care Tips for Kids
Even low-maintenance hair needs a little extra care during the summer months:
