11 Summer Haircuts for Women That Are Stylist-Approved (2024)

Asymmetric Bob

To add some interest to your standard bob, consider an asymmetrical version.

"An asymmetric cut adds a mystique, sexy, and chic look whether it's a bob or lob," said Bergamy. "This style has such an ageless look. Cutting the hair directly on the shoulders delivers a perfectly soft look and frames the jawline."

Baby Layers

Whether your hair is short, long, thick, thin, curly, or straight, Hayasaka said layering the front of your hair is a great way to frame the face and add texture.

Wavy Pixie

Bergamy predicted that a texturedpixie cutlike actress Ruth Negga's here is going to be the "it" cut of the summer.

"A pixie is a sassy look that is light and gives a youthful look," she told us. "Adding texture gives a whole new dimension to this already sexy cut."

Hourglass Cut

The hourglass cut is a look that evokes effortless style as the layers give body, definition, and shape.

"This look is good for summer because it does well in humidity," said Hayasaka. "The flipped-out curls hold well in the heat, so the hair doesn't get too frizzy or out of control."

Middle-Parted Bob

Try a middle-parted bob for a classic yet modernized look. Bergamy suggested using a thickener, as well as asking your stylist for a light layer or adding texture to the ends for a more voluminous look.

Curly Layers

Now is the time to embrace that au natural look.

"Wearing your natural texture is not only the favorite trend, but it's moving toward healthier hair, which never goes out of style," said Bergamy.

Add layers to your curls for a face-framing look with shape.

Pixie with Bangs

If you're looking to go short but not too short, a pixie with bangs is the perfect way to achieve face-framing short 'do.

"Bangs with a pixie is amazing and will add dramatic flare," said Bergamy.

Undone Collarbone Lob

Along bob, aka "lob" cut, is the perfect length for the summer if you don't want to go full-on chop but want to opt for a shorter cut than you're used to. If you haven't got time to hassle with your hair in the heat, and want a style where you can pretty much just wash and go, this is perfect.

"This is a low-maintenance cut," added Hayasaka, "You can wash it, put in a leave-in cream ... and head out!"

Curly Bangs

Bangs have been a hot topic since the beginning of time, but if you were ever going to go big or go home, now is the time (considering we've already "gone home" for the last year). So, go for the bangs, especially if you're sporting curls this summer.

"It [is] all about embracing your texture this summer," said Bergamy. "Textured bangs frame the face and give a voluminous, sophisticated look."

Face-Framing Layers

This classic cut is actually perfect for summer. Shorter layers around your face will accentuate your features and keep long hair our of your face on hot summer days. It's a win-win.

The Shag

Shaggy layerswill give you that rock and roll vibe that will perfectly complement every party look this summer. For a specific cut like this, Bergamy suggested taking a photo to your hairstylist.

"The stylist then can see if this specific style goes with your face shape [and] can create a variation of the style to best suit you," she said.
