As the weather heats up and COVID cools down, knowing what summer haircut to pick for yourself can be quite the task — especially this year, with everything going on. Everyone wants to look their absolute finest when it’s “hot girl summer” after all. So, you’ll need a good outfit, a new bright lipstick, and a fresh chop to top it off.
That said, if you don’t know whether you should go bold and chop it all off or keep those locks long and luscious, you’re not alone.
Long versus short hair is tricky in the summer. On one hand, there’s the heat factor, which makes you want to chop your hair off so your neck can breathe. On the other hand, a super-short cut, especially when new, can sometimes be challenging to style. The pixie cut you intended to be wash ‘n go? Quite the opposite actually.
This summer, the hair trends fall in the Goldilocks zone: not crazy long, not too short, but a happy mid-length refresh. Ahead, find visuals of the three biggest styles that are rolling out in salons across the country, from L.A. to NYC. Whether you’re going for the “hot-girl bob,” the approachable mid-length chop, or a rounded shag complete with a curtain bang 2.0, you’ll find the perfect style to wear through the vacation season, ahead.
Hot-Girl Bob
This summer’s “hot-girl bob” has already been well documented. The trend started with celebrities Regina King and Halle Berry. Now, fashion models like Arlenis Sosa are proof that the classic, chin-length bob is always in style — especially in the hotter months, complemented with a bikini top and sunnies.
Mid-Length Chop
Another option, if your hair is long and you want a less drastic change, go for a mid-length chop. Cindy says that the single-length cut is always sleek.
Modern Shag
The modern shag is cool because of its shape: rounded with bangs. There is natural fullness due to the layers and the shaping of the cut, but without the forced fullness from spray and product.
Middle Part Bob
Try a middle part bob for a classic yet modernized look. We suggest using a thickener, as well as asking Cindy for a light layer or adding texture to the ends for a more voluminous look.
Face Framing Layers
Try a middle part bob for a classic yet modernized look. We suggest using a thickener, as well as asking your stylist “for a light layer or adding texture to the ends” for a more voluminous look.
Come relax! You are in good hands, and so is your hair.
