Summer Bob with Textured Waves
The ‘Summer Bob with Textured Waves’ is a fun yet mature style that really lets go of any worries this person may have. With its graceful layers falling elegantly around their collarbone, this cut is defined by its texture and waves which gives off a laid-back beachy vibe. The light brown tone shows subtle highlights where the sun would likely hit for added depth.
This look works great with any shape face, but particularly heart or oval shaped ones. However, if someone has really fine straight hair then they may want to pass on this one. The texture plays an important role in achieving the style. Although anyone can use different products to give them these waves just right.
To keep the bounce and energy in those waves try using either salt spray or texturizing mousse like Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Spray. For definition scrunch in Moroccanoil’s Beach Wave Mousse after lightly towel drying your hair. But don’t forget! You will have achieved that natural beach wave when it’s touchable!
If you’re looking for more pop, definitely try some balayage highlights into your bob! Just imagine the sun setting over an ocean, capturing its rays deep into your hair and giving you that summer story everyone wants.
Disheveled Chic Shag
The ‘Disheveled Chic Shag’ haircut is the rockstar attitude your summer needs. The cut itself says “I don’t care, but I still look good.” with its feathers and layers all over the place. The shaggy fringe only gives off a more mysterious vibe to it. But those tousled layers? Scream spontaneity.
Round and square faces will love this style as it balances proportions with its volume. However, if your hair is very curly, then this might not work out for you since the layers could puff out. If your hair is wavy though, or even lightly curled, then welcome to shag heaven!
Since this cut already has so much volume in it, you just need some lightweight products like Living Proof’s Full Dry Volume Blast on the roots when you want a little glam right after bed. Olaplex No.3 treatments once a week will also help keep that shag healthy and ready for any summer adventure.
If you’re looking to add some personal flare into this rockstar look, why not add some blonde highlights? They’ll make a glowing contrast against the dark shag while also enhancing your dynamic layers.

Not everyone might be able to rock this look as it’s quite daring and it takes a lot of confidence to rock such a bright and bold platinum color.
If you’re feeling like you can pull this off though, then go for it! Especially if you have a diamond-shaped or angular face as this cut will bring out your features even more.
