Summer 2016 Hottest Hairstyles for Women
Summer 2016 is promising to amaze us with exciting hairstyle trends. The season is offering something for everyone, from simple cuts and styles to stunning colour combinations. If you’re a big fan of hair accessories, then you are in for a treat as well.
Here’s a selection of the hottest women’s hairstyles for the summer and tips on creating these looks.
Short Hair
Shorthaired women have long enjoyed some amazing styles, thanks to innovative hair designers. Long gone are the day’s of a single cut and this season proves short hair is for the bravest of trendsetters.
Buzzcuts
Want to be extremely bold this summer? Then get the most ‘buzzing’ haircut and get yourself a buzzcut. This style is definitely not for everyone, although it is extremely good for making a statement. Not to mention how it’ll save you time to focus on having fun, as you don’t need to be battling to get those locks in order.
Layered Look
Short hair is also showing signs of a layered look. For example, Jennifer Lawrence has been spotted wearing this hot new look on the red carpet. The hair is kept short and it receives a bit more movement and texture with the many layers.
Over the Shoulder Bobs
If you are searching for the perfect cut between a long and short hair, then over the shoulder bobs are back in style. You can choose to have it with or without fringe, although an extremely short fringe is currently another trendy look.
Long Hair
If you’re sporting a long hair, then it’s time to say bye to the curls and freedom. You are locking that hair in order this summer!
Choker Hair
What? Say goodbye to freedom? Well, yes. The season’s hair won’t be floating in the wind, as the top trend is to choke it. With the help of scarves and other ‘chokers’ the hair is tied gently around your neck. It might sound odd, but it looks extremely sophisticated. All you need is a pretty dress and a lovely summer scarf!
Straight Hair
Summer’s long hair is supposed to be super straight. When we say super straight, we mean it: the styles almost look magical in how effortlessly straight they appear. In some of the runway shows, the straightness was guaranteed with the help of high-shine hairbands.
Miniature Plaits
You should definitely learn how to plait your hair if you haven’t already. Miniature plaits are going to be everywhere this summer, creating a cute look. You can add plaits to your look in many different ways. Have one go across your head like a headband or use a plaid to tie in your ponytail.
The Top Colours
In terms of hair colours, this season is bringing back innovative and colourful looks. If you aren’t a fan of shock colours, but want something different, then pastel hues are a great choice. The summery shades of pastel lilac and pink hit the summer season like a nail in the head.
On the other hand, there’s something for the lovers of passionate and deep colours. Fiery red hair is back and worn together with a flash of gold added to deepen the red. The bleach blonde also makes a comeback. This time it is combined with darker roots for a more dramatic look.
You can find great pastel hair colours from Schwarzkopf and Paint Box, which are available at retailers such as Boots and Pura NB. For the red and bleach blonde colour, check out Garnier and Loreal’s classic hair colour selection.
Adding Hair Accessories to Your Look
You should include two hair accessory trends to your look this summer: crowns and headbands. The popularity of these two accessories is great news for anyone who isn’t a fan of creating stunning masterpieces first thing in the morning. Check it out for few here. With the extremely decorative and often quite covering hair crowns and bands, you don’t need to worry about getting your locks just right.
Claire’s is currently offering amazing accessories, with stunning 50% discounts on pins and bands. Accessorize is also a great place for finding the summer 2016 hair trends. For the more adventurous soul, we recommend looking at the Cadenzza collection, especially if you are looking for hair crowns. Whilst you might not be getting married, the vintage bridal crowns at Blossom could also add some elegance to your official look.
If you are looking for a stunning yet simple look for the summer, the above ideas should cover your needs. Summer hair should be fun and playful, without the need to spend hours inside the house, getting ready. So, sort out your summer hair and make 2016 a hassle free hair season!
