If your quest to beat the heat has left you hot and bothered, we've got you covered. This season, buns will be your beauty godsend: from super sleek spiky styles and classic 90s claw clips to unfussy chignons with face-framing tendrils.

The vibe is fuss-free, but that certainly doesn't mean low impact. Get inspired with our current favourite hair looks and start perfecting your skills, stat.
