Easy Breezy Summer Days
Going short in the summer is such an attractive alternative to the
usual heavier styles of fall and winter that, if you choose the right
length, you can maintain the short style and then begin go grow it out
as summer wanes. There are so many new and chic looks to choose from,
you are sure to find the one that matches your style and personality to
a Tee!
The first look you may want to consider is one that a lot of teenage
girls are swinging. It’s referred to as Sweet Angels. This works best
for straight to wavy hair. Tell your stylist you want a short cut with
long bangs in the front and layers cut into the back. In order to style
your new cut at home, you will need to apply smooth styling gel through
your hair. Blow dry down, sweeping bangs to one side. Apply pomade to
the back to add texture then pull on the ends to create wisps in your
hair. If you like the wispy look, then you may want to learn how to wear
the rock and roll wisp. It’s great for straight chin length hair in the
face. For the back, you want the length to the nape of the neck. Your
stylist will take a razor and cut wisp and layers throughout your hair
finishing with your bangs left long and side swept from the top. To keep
the style up at home, apply mousse to your hair. This will add body.
Blow dry straight and smooth then add your pomade to the ends to create
your wisp and spikes and a bit of ruffle to your hair.
If you have fine straight hair, then there is a wonderful look just
waiting for you. The Mod is a very simple cut. Tell your stylist you
want the Mod Cut. They should be familiar with the cut as it’s an
updated version of the classic Bob. Your stylist will give you a short
style with long bangs. This involves layering it to the nape of your
neck, leaving more weight on top of your head. At home, blow dry your
hair smooth. Tease lightly at the crown. Then smooth down, add a shining
product, and you are finished!
Is your hair curly or hold a natural wave? The look is actually
called the Wave and was designed just for you. Ask your stylist for a
chin length cut with long layers to pop your curls. At home you can use
a curl activating shampoo and conditioner. Let your hair dry naturally
and then arrange your look with your favorite gel. Downtown is pretty
dramatic. It’s one of the shortest hairstyles that is gaining
popularity. Tell your stylist that you want a short spikey cropped style
with longer buzz cut bangs in the front. As you can imagine, it takes
about 5 minutes to style this do at home. Use your favorite styling gel
to get the look you want. Do be aware that regular salon visits for
trims is a must for this look.
