Summer Hair Trends for 2021

As temperatures heat up, you need a hairstyle that can withstand summer’s heat and humidity. Luckily, stylist-approved options abound!

Curtain bangs and forehead-grazing fringe

These are popular hair trends for the summer season. They can help frame your face and create a stylish look.

Shag cuts

Shag cuts are also in trend, emphasizing volume around the face. They give a trendy and voluminous look to your hair.

Topknot with velvet scrunchies or headbands

A topknot hairstyle adorned with velvet scrunchies or 1960s-style headbands can help you achieve a “glassy skin” effect, which many desire.

Asymmetric Bob

The asymmetric bob is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a confident yet not too-dramatic hair trend. It has a modern silhouette and is widespread globally.

Medium-length bobs

Bobs are an excellent choice for medium-length hair, regardless of your hair texture (wavy, curly, or straight). They also provide benefits by debulking thick and voluminous locks.

Asymmetric long bob

Try an asymmetric long bob with caramel highlights to complement your brunette hair color. This style works well on rounder faces and has a charming side fringe.

Chin-Swept Bob

Shoulder-grazing bobs with wispy fringes are the go-to look this summer. They look fresh on every face shape, especially rounding faces. Layering techniques can soften sharp lines on square and heart-shaped faces.

Adding volume to thin hair

If you have thin hair, ask your stylist to add light, face-framing layers to give more volume and texture to your bob.

Ombre trend

The ombre trend from 2020 continues into 2021. Brunettes can experiment with vibrant shades to add volume and dimension to their bobs. This color choice also helps avoid brassy highlights.

Modern Mullet

The modern mullet is an easy summer hairstyle with a short quiff in front and long, wavy lengths falling back. It gives a modern and chic look.

Facial hair and styling

You can wear the modern mullet with any facial hair style. Priming your hair with texture spray, using styling pomade for definition, and adding an oil treatment for shine and hydration is recommended.

Lob

A blunt haircut that grazes your collarbones, commonly known as a lob, is perfect for summer. Highlights can add a shimmering effect. Claw clips and ’60s-style headbands are trendy accessories to complement this style.
