French Inspired Pixie Cuts
For a hairstyle with plenty of "va va voom" this summer, choose a French inspired gamine crop. This continental version of the classic pixie has the traditional short cropped back and sides, but the hair is left longer on the top.
The aim with this look is to channel the chic nonchalance that French women are famous for, with tousled layers and waves lending themselves to an undone style. You will be pleased to hear that you can put away your styling tools for this look: it looks best styled with your fingers and a little mousse.
The Heartthrob Bob
Nostalgia for 90s style has made its way into women's hair trends this year with the arrival of the popular Heartthrob Bob. This choppy layered bob is cut into close cropped layers at the nape of the neck with longer sections sweeping the cheekbones at the front. This relaxed hair style designed to fall naturally around the face in a casual, lived in style.
It works well with all hair types and textures and having your hair off your neck will keep you cool over the summer. The good news is that this another style you can just wash, tousle and go!
Collar Bone Grazing Lobs
If you aren't quite ready for a full crop, the fashionable Collar Bone Grazing Lob is for you. This face-flattering style is great for warm summer days as it allows you to style it in multiple different ways, putting it up if you want to.
Losing just a few inches off your hair offers a major style reboot. Shorter layers can breathe new life into an on-trend Shag haircut, and will add volume and thickness to fine, straight hair.
The Lob works equally well of all hair textures. Take a look at Laura Harrier's chic locks for inspiration.
The Modern Diana Haircut
Princess Diana was a style icon for all time, and her look still has an impact on the fashion world today. The Modern Diana Bob is everywhere on Instagram and TikTok this summer as people continue take inspiration from her look (see also: blue eyeliner, cycling shorts and co-ordinating suits).
The Modern Diana Bob references the princess' famous side parting and multiple layers for volume. It's a versatile, low maintenance look when it comes to styling. You can simply add some products to enhance the volume for a fashionable messy look. Alternatively you could choose to blow dry it smooth, or wear it slicked back as the princess sometimes did.
