If you’re thinking of giving your hair a break for the summer and cutting your prep time for the next few months, a shorter style may be just what you need. Whether it’s a pixie cut, a polished bob, or a more naturally wavy mid-length ‘do, this season is more about relaxing and letting your hair take a backseat to the fun you should be having. Here are six celebrity styles to inspire a transformation.
Celeb-Style: Short Hair for Summer
1) Ashlee Simpson – This smooth pixie has a sophisticated side part that can be dressed up or down. Use hair balm to sleek it to either side.
2) Charlize Theron – This look is a bit more precise but allows for flexibility in styling with the right kind of pomade for an edgy look.
3) Beyonce – Bey’s sleek, blonde bob frames her face with asymmetrical angles for an update on the classic.
4) Hayden Panettiere – This polished, slicked-back look easily works at the beach or for a very posh night out. The best thing is how little time it takes to make it look perfect.
5) Elisabeth Moss – This piece-y bob takes very little maintenance and can be worn wavy or straight, depending on how you choose to style it. Use pomade and twist the ends for a similar look.
6) Jessica Alba – Jessica Alba’s mid-length bob is an incredibly easy style for those who aren’t quite ready to commit to a short cut. At her length, it’s easy to still pull hair back and up, away from the face. Or, wear it loose and wavy for a great beach look.
