Short Haircuts for Summer

1. Two-toned short hair

If you have darker hair and lighter on the top, go for this cool summer haircut. As a modern day bowl cut (but way cooler, we swear!), you’ll loose the weight of your hair with a focus of length on the top part of your hair.

2. Shaved sides

We love the one-side shaved hair look. For the summer this will be seriously liberating as you chop off so much length, focusing your part on one side of your face. Plus, that shaven look will look so fierce and have you out of the house in minutes!

3. Volumious short hair

If you are all about volume, then this is the perfect look for you. Opt for a cut that takes off length along the sides of your hair as you focus on more lift and body towards the front. For even more volume, use a volumizing hair care system like the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume Shampoo and Pre-Wash Conditioner.  This formula is designed to soften hair, then leave it full of bounce!

4.  Wavy top

Yes, those with wavy hair can go short. And you may even find that by losing length, you’ll feel less overall heaviness in your hair. We love the one-side long length with a shorter back, allowing you to play with your part and texture throughout the summer.

5. Classic bob

For some the classic bob haircut is that perfect in-between cut. If you don’t want to go that short but really want to lose some length, this is definitely the look for you! Opt for a one-length bob or an angled cut if you are up for the maintenance.

6. Above the shoulder chop

A degree above the bob is the shoulder chop. This cut give you overall length as it takes the weight off your shoulder. Go for this style if you’re the type of person that still wants to create hairstyles like updos and even small braids on their hair.

7. Classic short

This classic look will give you some length throughout your hair. Add in some natural layering to elongate your face.

8. Above the ears

This look is great for those with thin hair as you add volume to your hair with short layers. You can also play with the length by adding flips alongside your face for a modern update.

9. Teeny weeny afro

By now you must know of our love of the teeny weeny afro! This modern look lets you embrace your natural hair with an updated look for summer. Another favorite for this look is to add some color to brighten things up a bit.

10. Big all-over curls

Just like wavy hair, short hair and curls can work. Don’t let anyone tell you differently! Seriously this big all-over look is amazing. You’ll be able to embrace your natural volume and bounce will losing some weight that tends to acclimate on your shoulders.

11. All-over shaven look

If you want to take the side shaven look up a notch, go for an all-over shaven look. This focusses on the top part of your hair as the sides and the back are completely bare. Fierce and on-point, we adore this look for summer.
