Summer will be short... when it comes to hair. The J.7 artistic team presents an abundant collection of fun, short summer hairstyles for men and women, none of which exceed chin length.
Texture is key to the appeal of these flexible cuts, and together with varying degrees of styling, the shapes and structures display a subtle vintage flavor reminiscent of 1980s pop candy. This era of domesticated punk clearly inspired these looks, which instantly evoke the music of Cyndi Lauper and Madonna.
Day and Night
He is smooth and classic at the office, but don’t let the spick-and-span side-parted neatness of this man's haircut fool you. Around happy hour, he transforms into a spiky cool tomcat, sporting a raised look with subtle yet impressive texture.
A graduated cut with buzzed short sides and at least one inch on the crown makes this possible, providing a handsome silhouette and excellent hold.
Geometric Contrasts
Color, cut, and texture are all paired with their counterparts to create a high-fashion vibe in this short, post-punk cut.
Light blonde is contrasted with medium and dark browns around the sides and down the neck in a super-short buzz cut, separated from the highly dynamic and structured top part by a straight cutting line with minimal mouse-tooth texture.
Bangs are long and can be styled in various ways, depending on the mood of the day.
From Demure to Diva
A steep graduation from millimeter-short sides to around two inches on top gives the hair its distinct silhouette and adds hold to the high-flying, pop diva style. The same style appears utterly smooth and understated in the "still water" look of the first picture. There’s no secret to it; it’s all in the perfect cut and visionary coloring executed with skill.
Smooth Operator
Clean-cut and perfectly graduated layers create a suave everyday hairstyle for men that embodies timeless classiness. But once the lights dim, the dapper chap quickly transforms into a spiky-haired wolf on the prowl.
With a quick metamorphosis using some hair wax or flexible gel, his hair stands straight up and off to the sides, with the bangs styled to be an eye-catching feature.
Slice of Heaven
Long and short strands alternate in a magical rhythm that creates either a smooth or a feathery wild silhouette, depending on the styling and moment’s taste. The highly versatile tresses get an additional boost with their multi-tone coloring, ranging from light blonde to a warm nutmeg tone.
Bangs are longest in the middle for a mischievous touch, and exaggerated sideburns add a hint of androgynous flair.
Curly Cues
Straight or rounded all around—it's your choice. The amazingly versatile cut features a trapeze-shaped design with the shortest curls at the nape and an even lengthening effect toward the crown.
With this base, it’s easy to achieve expressive shapes as seen in the first picture while keeping the light blonde curly delight both sassy and classy, with elegant emphasis on the front through larger, well-defined waves and curls.
