THESE SUMMER HAIR TRENDS AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE

If you spend the warmer weather fretting about what to wear and leave little time for your poor old barnet, then this neatly packaged lineup of summer hairstyles is here to save your day. From tousled fairy waves to sleek side-parts, we’ve sifted through every trending ‘do for this definitive list of celeb-loved looks. The best part? We’ve also got the products you’ll need to recreate every. Single. One. So do your hair a favour, grab a brush, and keep scrolling.

 

#1: FAIRY WAVES

Leslie Bibb’s recent stint on ‘The White Lotus’ may have done for the bob what Hovis did for sliced bread, but long hair is still dominating summer trends – especially where a wave’s concerned. From Jade Thirwall to Charli XCX, these tumbling romantic curls are bringing Botticelli chic to the everyday. Even for the most unskilled hairstylists among us, loose waves are surprisingly easy to recreate. All you need is a great wave spray (we love this Ouai bestseller) and a trusty curling tool. With three built-in tongs, the GHD Triple Barrel Waver does the hard work for you.

 

#2: SLICK SIDE-PART

Millennials really are having a great year. Amongst a range of early 2010s trends making a resurgence, the latest seems to be the infamous side-part. Once favoured by chunky-belt-wearing tweens at school discos, this old-school style has found new life in the form of a smooth, slick adaptation. The veteran of this look? Hailey Bieber, of course. With a neatly styled tendril of hair and flawlessly pulled-back up-do, this take on the side parting feels fresh and attainable. Try using a hair-nourishing product like Argan Oil Eco Gel to achieve it yourself, and finish everything off with the GHD Final Touch styling brush. No flyaways here.

 

#3: BOHO BLOW-DRY

It’s not just your summer wardrobe that’s getting the boho treatment. While we all love a flawless bouncy blowout, this season is all about a more lived-in look. Enter: the boho blow-dry. This style feels tousled and full of body – but never frizzy or unkempt. Styling products like Sam McKnight’s Happy Endings Balm will keep those pesky stray hairs at bay, while a heated brush like the BaByliss Hydro-Fusion Anti-Frizz Hair Dryer is great for achieving those voluminous curls ala Meghann Fahy. Keeping an eye on your hair’s condition? A heatless alt like this Kitsch Satin curler set is also worth a shoutout.

 

#4: JANE BIRKIN BANGS 

Most of us have grabbed a pair of scissors and contemplated cutting a bang at least once in our lives. Whether you followed through or not, this contentious style feels like a rite of passage – and thanks to stars like Daisy Edgar-Jones, it’s enjoying a pretty sizable renaissance. Luckily for the most hair-conservative amongst us, the Jane Birkin bang is the cut of the moment. Less bold than a full-blown fringe, these textured layers frame the face for a style that screams 70s cool. Products like the Virtue Texturizing Spray are great for recreating this look, while a great set of rollers will keep your bangs in place throughout the night for minimal morning effort.

 

#5: 90s BLOWOUT

We couldn’t talk about hair and not mention the veritable queen of curly locks: Sabrina Carpenter. Having single-handedly reignited our love for the full-volume, huge hair of the 90s, Sabrina has all of us battling with tongs and wands to achieve the same look. But fear not – there are some failsafe products to help you in your pursuit. We love this large barrel BaByliss Waving Tong, perfect for securing those tumbling ringlets. And if your hair struggles to hold down a curl? The Beauty Works 10 in 1 Miracle Spray will nourish your strands while locking in every last wave.
