How to Style Short Hair for Hot Summer Days
With summer fast approaching, this is the perfect opportunity for a new and unique hairstyle that will keep you cool in every sense of the word. We’re talking about going short and how to style short hair for hot summer days.
Contrary to popular belief, long hair doesn’t necessarily give you more options in the style department. You can add unique style twists with texture, volume and colour to short hair too.
There are so many different ways you can wear short hair and we’ve chosen some of our summer favourites.
Below are some examples of how you can style short hair to get you inspired…
The Classic Bob
The bob is an incredible versatile hair length and can be styled to suit any summer look. You can wear it silky-smooth and straight or full-volume and wavy.
The great thing about the Bob is that anything goes. You can go French, or have your hair sitting gently on your shoulders.
They’re both a perfect canvas for hats or headscarves, which are a great way to change up your look for a summer event or special occasion.
You can also play around with a bit of an up-do. With a bob, you’ve got enough hair to pin all or half of your hair up and out of the way to get some sun on your shoulders.
The hair styling possibilities are literally endless with the Bob, so you can ask your stylist to try them all and see which one will work best with your face shape and dress style.
Here are some examples of how the Bob can dazzle on lazy summer days:
The Cropped Style
You don’t have to have lots of hair to make a style statement. Even cropped hair can pack a punch in the style stakes and attract everyone’s attention.
Whether you go for a full volume swoop or a polished edgy close crop, these super short cuts can exude cool and really accentuate your features.
Being creative with a short pixie doesn’t have to be a challenge. Even short hair can have a style upgrade for a special summer event.
The pixie cut can have bend and volume giving it a soft textured look, or you can wear it sleek and glamorous with high-gloss vintage finger waves. Both can look incredible with hair pins or statement earrings.
We’ve selected a few styles that we think are the ‘cream of the crop’ (sorry, I couldn’t resist that one):
The Long Bob (Lob)
Long bobs or the Lob are where your hair sits just below your shoulders.
It’s not too long and it’s not too short, and can look great on anyone.
Whether you go for a polished, sleek Lob, or a choppy, layered Lob, this versatile hair length can make even the finest hair look full and thick all summer long.
The other great thing about the Lob is that it’s highly customisable. Your stylist can work the Lob to suit your face shape and summer style with long bangs, a few extra layers or by leaving the hair a little bit longer. Make sure you use the right hair care and hair styling products and tool to keep your Lob lush and nourished.
Plus, as the Lob is cut just below your collarbone, it’s long enough to put up, giving you even more style options.
Here are some examples of just how versatile the Lob can be:
