Short haircuts for summer 2024 express a natural and bold femininity. Lines and volumes are particularly soft: they frame the face softening it. Geometries and accentuated contrasts are avoided, and shapes that leave the face entirely free are preferred. In a world where the push to ‘mask’ is very strong, the short haircuts of the season put the face at the center of the image, without too many artifices.
The call of the moment, whether it’s a soft crop or a soft micro bob, is ‘be natural, be yourself’. The 10 short haircuts interpret it with style. Choose your favorite one and discover the nearest hairdresser to you who can create it in every detail.
1. Soft crop
Minimum lengths, but maximum versatility are the two characteristics that have made the soft crop (in cover) the cult short haircut of summer 2024. The progressive and multidirectional layers are concentrated on the top of the head, while the perimeters of the cut on the nape remain very short like those of the pixie.
Thanks to these soft volumes, the look of Jurvedha salons can be combed in a thousand different ways and does not require elaborate styling. The final effect is always that of a light and lived-in cut.
2. Micro bob with bangs
The micro bob with bangs is dedicated to curly hair. Its airy texture adapts to different face shapes and combs itself. The look is by the British team F.A.M.E.
3. Bixie fusion
Thanks to the light layers and the more accentuated texture on the top of the head, the bixie, a fusion of bob and pixie, gives volume even to the finest hair. Medavita salons propose it with a soft hairstyle, which seems combed by the summer wind.
4. Bullet
The bullet is a reinterpretation of the mullet and chin bob. From the first it takes the edgy and scaled texture, from the second the cutting lines to the chin. The hair remains longer on the nape and sides: the long irregular fringe recalls the disconnections of the perimeters around the face. Look for this kind of short haircuts in Hairevolution Framesi salons.
5. Bowl cut
If the ‘bowl cut’ recalls the 60s, Farmaca International’s summer look winks at contemporary street style with a delicate but eccentric pastel color. The cut is recommended for those with regular facial features, neither long nor round.
6. Dyed pixie
Short, layered, simple and feminine: the pixie cut of 2024 opens up to colored locks and soft bangs that leave the eyebrows uncovered. The look is by Art Hair Studios by Wella Professionals.
7. Layered micro bob
Thanks to the irregular fringe, this micro bob evokes a fantasy style, like an elf. The light layers on the nape have an adherent texture that follows the shape of the head, reducing volumes to a minimum. It is dedicated to those with medium to thick hair. Cut and graphic coloring are from The Blond Club by Schwarzkopf Professional salons.
8. Curly
The minimalist but decisive short cut recalls the world of nature thanks to the organic and solid texture of healthy curls. The look is by Schwarzkopf Professional and is ideal for managing all types of curls in style in the warmer months.
9. Shaggy pixie
The hair thinned out on the sides and nape is connected to the long tuft on the forehead thanks to skilful layering: it is the shaggy pixie. A versatile cut to be combed in an always different way, recommended for those with beautiful eyes and who want to put them in the foreground. In the French Gina Gino salons.
10. Unstructured
This short cut has natural but unstructured textures. The very short and irregular fringe is worn open on the forehead: it connects to the lengths of the nape thanks to disconnected locks. Cutting lines break and rejoin in an innovative way. The punk-inspired look is by stylist Anthony Edge, straight from San Diego, USA.ย
