The Most Anticipated Hair Trends of This Summer
From short bobs to stunning blowouts, here are some of the hottest hair trends for summer that are easily manageable and won’t break the bank.
First, summer is all about letting go and embracing your natural beauty. From minimal makeup looks requiring only blush and highlighter (we recommend Rare Beauty for all of your blush needs) to simple haircuts, the only thing you need to grab is your favorite bikini.
Sea Salt Sprays
With celebrities like Simone Ashley already tapping into the messy wave look, it is safe to say sea salt spray will definitely be making a comeback. As the heat and humidity build up to their highest levels, your natural locks will need all the hydration they can get.

Now, here are some other haircuts that are sure to be a summer hit, and how to style them:
Layered Blowouts
’90s Layers are making a comeback with volume and bounce. To achieve the perfect blowout, use a round brush. Use a round brush when styling curtain bangs, as the brush will add the perfect frame around your cheekbones.
Bobs
Bobs are reigning supreme this summer, but why? Everyone seems to be growing out their natural hair to achieve mermaid lengths, but there is a reason why some are making the bold chop. COVID-19 unfortunately made a lot of women lose or shed their hair very frequently. The decision to go short allows them to grow their hair out naturally again while gaining their confidence back with a fresh start.
“This bob trend feels very inspired by women wanting their hair to feel full and healthy again. Starting fresh feels like the all-around theme,” stylist Jenda Alcorn stated.
Lastly, we have the “Elfin” Fringe. While curtain bangs have been taking the world by storm, fringe is slowly becoming the style of the summer with movement and texture. The term “Elfin” was coined by stylist Jayne Matthews. Having the bangs sit above the brows with a more choppy look, the haircut gives the stunning illusion of a summer fairy, with the ability to easily create updos in the sweltering summer heat.
With an array of styles to choose from, summer is the best time to experiment with your hair and determine what works best for you. Whether it is minimal to no styling, or cutting your hair at home, these looks will make waves even when the summer sun is not shining.
