Summer 2021 hairstyles are playful and flirtatious, providing the ideal opportunity to change your look and give it a fresh edge. Stylists have seen numerous cute shortcuts that avoid sweat and flyaways as part of the summer trend.
Try an asymmetrical bob with different lengths on each side for a playful change, and for longer locks, try two-strand twists or a sleek mullet as stylish options.
Asymmetric Bob
An asymmetrical haircut can create an eye-catching, timeless style for all hair types and excellent locks. Choppy, uneven front strands are especially suitable for hiding thin patches while adding texture to fine tresses.
Singer Rita Ora’s asymmetrical bob features dramatic side-swept bangs for an effortlessly cool style. At the same time, actress Selma Blair sports an identical cut featuring blunt bangs that emphasize her jawline and forehead.
The bowl cut is an effortless yet chic summer look that works beautifully when smoothed with some curl cream or mini hair straightener. Perfect for Black hair as it emphasizes natural texture.
Chin-Swept Bob
A chin-swept bob is an excellent option for black women looking to switch up their daily style. Perfect for summer weather, this look features subtle structuring and light volume for an approachable fashion that still embodies fashion-forwardness while remaining slightly rock ‘n roll.
This season’s asymmetric bob trend features an updated style. With less dramatic angles and less blunt finishes than predecessors, this style can be easier to maintain and manage for those who have yet to be ready for a drastic change this summer.
Pixie Cut
If you’re growing out a short haircut and want a fresh start this summer, try a blunt cut with soft, chin-sweeping layers for an updated style that offers chic femininity with its textured finish and asymmetrical form. Both qualities will help your grow-out process feel seamless.
Tapered pixie cuts offer another fantastic option for those seeking a subtler style. Their multi-layered construction provides dimension and balance to any face shape – perfect!
Blunt Bob
A blunt bob is timeless and fashionable; you can add well-styled waves to take it even further (think Aida Sane). Curtain bangs for shorter than shoulder-length hair create a romantic aesthetic that pairs nicely with lacy dresses – like Penelope Cruz does here.
Modern, updated mullets provide an edgy and rock-and-roll style, mainly worn with wavy locks. Be sure to add texture with texturizing spray.
Ombre
Summertime brings abundant hair color options; this season, warm buttery blonde has emerged as a trendy shade. This delicate hue features shadow roots with vanilla front highlights for added depth, perfectly complimenting skin with cool undertones.
The shag cut is an eye-catching modern style featuring plenty of texture and face-framing strands. Ideal for any length hair lob or shoulder-length locks, this style works with or without bangs for maximum versatility.
Bright hair colors are another critical trend of summer 2021. Kaia Gerber’s delicate pink balayage or SZA’s deep red hue will bring instant flair to any summer ensemble.
