Hot Summer Hair Trends: Bangs and Braids

Hot Trend: Bangs

Blunt bangs (also called fringe) are summer’s sultry look.

Bangs that rest just above the top lashes are being worn by Katie Holmes and Jessica Biel. Depending on your face shape, bangs can be cut wide or narrow.

Tip #1

Ask your stylist if they do complimentary bang trims in between cuts. Remember, longer is always better, because you can always go shorter.

Tip #2

Try clip-on bangs for a temporary look.

Hot Trend: Braids

Braids (plaits) are Summer’s hottest hair accessory. From Fishtail Braids to Messy Side Braids to Classic Braids, you can’t go wrong.

Celebrities like Blake Lively and Lauren Conrad wear this look from casual to chic.

Tip #1

Use a salt beach spray for better handling while braiding.

Tip #2

Don’t be afraid to experiment. Add a hairpiece at the nape for added length to the braid.
