What are the 10 Hottest Summer Haircuts for females?

1. Birkin Bangs

Townsend is a huge fan of incorporating bangs into your look (after all, he’s the man responsible for Dakota Johnson’s iconic fringe). He obviously likes a straight-across style but knows that’s not everyone’s style. “First and foremost, lean on your stylist to determine what kind of bangs work best for your face shape,” he says. He recommends keeping a dry shampoo like Dove’s Invisible Dry Shampoo on hand to keep your bangs from getting too oily. For the freshest look, keep your length, but add some layers for movement. “Ask for face-framing layers that start at the chin and connect all the way around,” he says. “When it comes to the ends of your hair, if not styled correctly, they can look very thin—especially on long hair, so I recommend keeping it very blunt.”

2. Wolf Cuts and Shullets

According to Dhiran Mistry, who splits his time between New York City and Charlotte, North Carolina, the lines between the mullet, shag, and TikTok-popular “wolf cut” are continuing to blur in new and exciting ways. On one end, there’s the shullet, which is a soft mullet, and then there’s the more graphic high-low mullet, as seen on Iris Law and FKA Twigs. “There’s definitely an evolution happening where it’s getting shorter around the hairline with still some length at the back,” says Mistry, adding: “I say evolution as most hairstylists will adapt a look to suit a person’s hair texture and their style in general.”

3. Bold Bangs

If you’re not into a major change but want to add a little something, consider a set of bangs. “Bangs work with so many styles, but especially the current trends of long layers and shags,” says celebrity hairstylist Adam Campbell. “You can have more of the eyelash-grazing lengths or more of the grown-out curtain bang highlighting your cheekbones.” To make sure you’re happy with the look, he suggests chatting with your stylist both about the overall look you want, as well as how much upkeep you’re willing to put in. “The sexy eye-grazing bangs are a little more maintenance, needing trimming between haircuts to maintain the look,” he says. “Most stylists will offer a complimentary bang trim for their clients between haircuts. Longer curtain bangs are less maintenance as they grow because they are able to be pushed to the side or incorporated into the layers of rest of your haircut. Always ask your stylist how often you should be back to keep your fringe sexy and fresh.”

4. Blunt Bob

“The blunt bob is for the girls who love to do a big summer chop,” says Spino. “This cut is timeless and very easy to manage at home. It’s extremely versatile—it can be air-dried messy for a day at the beach or styled smooth for a chic night out.” To get the look, she says to be specific with two things: where the cut falls, and telling your stylist you want a blunt look with zero layers.

5. The Bixie

The bixie isn’t going anywhere. A combination of a bob and pixie, Dyana shares the cut “is a more elevated take on the pixie with longer layers and tons of movement. I love this look for summer because it can be styled lots of ways and works for straight hair or curly, and every texture in between.

6. 3D Curls

3D curls aren’t a particular cut but rather a trending mindset, says Smith: “3D curls are all about embracing the multidimensional beauty of curly hair.” Work with your hair instead of fighting it. To make curls pop and look as dimensional as possible—hence the 3D moniker—Smith recommends a specific technique. “Using a strong-hold gel or balm to define the curls will initially create a crunchy ‘cast,’ but this should be encouraged and left alone until the hair is 100% dry,” he says. “You then ‘break the cast’ of the curls by gently massaging—never run your fingers through the curls or be tempted to brush them. And 3D curls look best when they are glossy and shiny, so choose products that have a moisturizing factor as well as strong holding ability, and consider finishing with a shine spray or gently scrunching through a few drops of shine serum. Remember, curly hair can handle much more product than straight-hair types, so don’t be afraid to load up the product to give definition and shine.”

7. Long Shag

Consider this cut the natural evolution of the shag that was everywhere two years ago. Schaefering notes that his younger clients in particular are into this style, since they want to keep their length but love the shorter layers around their face. “Curly hair, straight—it works pretty much for everyone with a bit of adjusting, and it removes excess weight and hair,” he says. “It gives a very playful and fun energy.” When discussing with your stylist, Schaefering says, first determine if you’re comfortable with bangs. “If not, identify the shortest pieces around your face and build from there. Most of the hair will be directed forward and cut from short to long, ending at your length. This haircut can be an inspiration and build from, allowing it to be as aggressive with the layering as you want, or more subtle.”

8. Collarbone-Grazing Lobs

For a more relaxed crop, look no further than a collarbone-grazing lob as seen on the ever-chic Laura Harrier. Crafted by her hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, the longer silhouette proves that losing a few inches can go a long way for a sleek new look. The length can also breath new life into a pre-existing shag as seen on Selena Gomez.

9. The New Rachel

In case you didn’t already know, the ’90s are back and heavily influencing summer haircut trends. Tim shares that the new Rachel “takes inspiration from the very popular haircut from the ’90s, but this shape is upfront with a stronger perimeter and a little bit longer face-framing layers.” The Rachel, but make it modern.
