1. Haute couture bob
The haute couture bob, with its chin-length locks, is the summer must-have with its iconic curtain bang. The color is rich and pure to capture all the sun’s rays. In the morning, the bob can be styled in less than a minute by running fingers through hair. The orange color, thanks to the sea salt and the Uv rays, will gradually fade, turning into a warm, shaded peach: for a ever-changing summer. Look for this cut in Framesi salons.
2. Layered cut for fine hair
Frequent washing in summer makes fine hair even finer and flatter. For top volume even when temperatures rise, a layered cut with different thicknesses is required. Such as the Golden Scaled cut by Jurvedha salons, with its unstructured lines. Wraps of thin layers around the head create a soft and light texture. It can be styled with a few strokes of the brush.
3. Ageless layered cut
It frames the face and softens its features: it’s the heavily layered bob, very light, that flatters all ages. It’s the look to keep up with a day that continues into a lively nightlife. In the evening, simply run a straightener through your hair. Note the darker hair at the hairline and the vibrant peachy blonde highlights. Ask for it in Framesi salons.
4. Soft layered cut for medium-thick hair
The blunt cut is particularly flattering for medium to thick hair. When temperatures rise, an effective wet look, which can be created with a gel formulated with Uv filters, will be the solution. A look for the beach as well as for the evening. Simply apply a product with a light finish to the lengths: look for this kind of low-maintenance haircuts in milk_shake salons.
5. Smart pixie
This pixie cut with perfect proportions is reminiscent of certain Lady Diana looks on the yacht in Portofino, this time in a brunette version. The elegant, smart cut by Medavita salons is the perfect look for those who always want to have hair under control in every situation.
6. Practical soft crop
Airy, light, and super practical in summer, the soft crop enhances all hair types. The multidirectional layering, concentrated on the top of the head, is ready to be molded into various transformations to adapt to everyone. Find it in Jurvedha salons.
7. Shullet for curly hair
An elegant reinterpretation of the mullet that blends with the shag: it’s the shullet, the ideal cut for curly hair in summer. A boho-chic look of Evos Parrucchieri salons that doesn’t need to be styled. The fringe can be transformed into a side fringe. With a clip the hair in the front area can be tied at the back of the neck.
8. Blunt cut & biscuit blonde
How to make a long, a little heavier blunt cut more summery? Simply with a warm and creamy color, like biscuit blonde. A liquid shade with a seductive texture that illuminates the face. The blunt cut acquires a mirror-like finish in minutes with the help of a round brush. Ask for it in La Biosthétique salons.
9. Blunt cut & balayage
Blunt cut and balayage are a classic for hair addicts. In summer everything goes better: the sun will give an even more intense effect to the contrasts of the highlights, creating new light shades. To create soft waves on the lengths, simply gently braid the hair together as it air dries. Ask for this look in Kemon salons (Alma Hair Salon team for Urbiola Formación).
10. XXL low-maintenance lengths & fringe
The glam rock energy of summer evenings is all in this XXL cut with short bang and butterfly cut-like layers on the sides. The warm metallic color blends different shades of orange, in 80s vintage style. It’s one of the most powerful low-maintenance haircuts of the summer. By the French team Léna Lepetit.
