7 Trendy Summer Hairstyles That Will Spice Up Your Look

Summer is just around the corner, and I know most of us are excited! Since I was younger, I have always looked forward to every summer vacation, not just because I’d no longer have to wake up early to go to school (though that’s one of the main reasons — LOL!), but also because I always felt like summer makes me want to change something about myself. And what could be a better start than changing my hairstyle? I believe that summer is the time for us to be more adventurous, to try something new. So, here are a few trendy summer hairstyles for women that you might want to consider!

1. Korean pixie cut

I don’t know if it’s just me, but every time my favourite K-drama ends, I always get tempted to copy some of the characters’ hairstyles. Because I know most of us will agree — their chosen hairstyles are undeniably great! If you’re a fan of the Korean wave, you’ve probably seen this haircut many times. 

A Korean pixie cut is a basic hairstyle that is usually way shorter on the back, has faded sides, and is slightly longer on top, with bangs. If you have long hair and are aiming for a drastic change in your hairstyle, this one will be best for you! Not to mention, it is also very easy to maintain. Perfect for girls who are always on the go!

2. Curtain bangs

Full heavy bangs are cute; but sometimes they can be very annoying, especially during the summer season. If you’re not yet fully committed to having full bangs, why not try curtain bangs? You can usually style it sideways, but on the days you want to have full bangs, a good curler can easily do the trick!

3. Red hair colour

Actress Kathryn Bernardo is giving all of us a sign to go extra wild with our hair colour! She recently posted on her Instagram about her “colour reveal,” and I know most of us are stunned by her beauty.

Compared to other balayage styles, this particular one has a subtle tone. So if you’re not so comfortable with loud browns or blonde highlights, this is the one for you! The subtle balayage is ideal for anyone who prefers a more natural look. It’ll you look like you just returned from a long beach getaway and Mr. Sun did your hair colour!

5. Collarbone lob

This collarbone lob is the best choice if you want to change up your cut without going overly short. The length of this haircut is usually above the shoulder or your collarbone, so you’ll still be able to tie your hair up in a ponytail. Plus if you want to go a bit extra, a slight wave curl will be great. The best part? This haircut is flattering to almost any face shape!

6. Rounded bob

Out of all the trendy summer hairstyles on this list, this particular haircut is my personal bet! Last summer, I tried cutting my long hair to achieve this rounded bob, and guess what? Up until now, I haven’t let my hair grow any longer. I still can’t get enough of how good this hairstyle looks! What’s more impressive is, this haircut flatters almost every face structure — so this could be the perfect one for you, too.

7. Beach wave perm
