If summer is your favorite season, greet it with a fresh new hairstyle. Carpy makes it easy to fall in love with a new look and make it your own. Short, medium-long, straight, or curly—there's something to make everyone a happy summer beauty. How about a spunky, short A-line cut with a lot of texture? Or perhaps an asymmetrical expression of your own coolness?
Whether you're outdoorsy or more the urban sophisticated type, there’s a style for you. The hairstyles are inspired by some of the fashion highlights of the last decades and come in tones ranging from blonde to black. The best part? Most of these haircuts require minimal styling time and don’t mind getting wet.
Short Face-hugging Haircut
A bright and beautiful swirl of hair hugs the face in flattering texture. Starting high on the crown, the hair moves diagonally downward with emphasis on one side.
Layers and finely sliced texture are used throughout to achieve a slender shape with a full crown and narrower sides.
Her summer color is a fine platinum blonde, perfect for illuminating her face. A subtle touch of lavender in front creates a great effect.
Ruffled Short Haircut
Make it a beach day and don’t worry about your hair! This intensely texturized short haircut looks best with a good product and the fingers. Ruffled with sleek strands sticking out on all sides, it’s edgy, modern, and resilient on a hot summer day.
The neck is short, and the sides are long enough to tuck behind the ear. Essentially, the shape is a very short A-line bob with attitude. Her hair color is a multitone blonde with darker roots and silver highlights.
Soft Punk Hairstyle
This may be a softened punk style, but it retains the old edge. Asymmetry, one buzzed short side, fine spikes, and a lot of movement cascading down the other side are what girls want for summer.
It not only looks cool but also helps beat the heat with a clipped short neck. The longer top hair, which falls to one side, has been curled with a hot iron into large barrel shapes, remaining mostly intact with a bit of looseness.
Pageboy Cut
Dark brown and sleek as satin, this short pageboy cut exudes charm. The perfectly cut outline is stylish, has a trendy retro 1930s feel, and makes summer even more exciting. The refined cutting technique creates great texture, allowing the hair to fall into place and its gently rounded shape without any fuss.
Electrifying Curls
Turn up the vibe! Wild, edgy, and electrifying curls won’t let her get the blues this summer. The quirky texture needs a great haircut to show its best sides, so the hair was layered for a round outline filled with deconstructed curls and sharp points throughout.
A fringe this short always adds much character and a modern, artsy feel. To create the wild texture, a hot iron is the best tool.
Medium-Long Hairstyle with Volume
Medium-long hairstyles with this much volume captivated us in the 1980s. They’re back, but with updates. Modern big hair is lighter, has more texture, and more movement than ever before. The hair was cut in generous layers, then shaped into extra-large curls to achieve all this.
The curls were broken up, the hair feathered and fluffed, and then gently sprayed for good hold. The hair color is a delightful and spicy walnut brown. This hairstyle is ready for the great outdoors—in the mountains or on a sailboat—and will also look amazing on hot, danced-through summer nights.
Bun and Long Cascading Waves
The television hit series "Mad Men" reminded us of the fun fashions of the 1950s and 1960s. Many of those great hairstyles are making a comeback, seen on the streets today. Of course, they've been updated to be lighter and softer than the hairspray-starred creations women used to wear.
To create this sublime example of great summer style, the hair was separated into a large but lightweight teased bun and a cascade of long waves flowing down one side of her face. It incorporates all of the trend elements and has tons of character.
Modern Short Haircut for Men
Of course, men deserve a cool haircut for summer too, and here is one that combines all the trendy elements. Very short hair on the sides gradually lengthens towards the top, with the longest section right in the center.
With a little texture throughout, he has a very modern, versatile haircut that can be styled with his hands and a bit of product. This look can be dressed up for the office or made hot for roaming the streets, lounging poolside, or strolling down the beach.
