I've Done the Research—These Summer Hair Trends Should Be on Your Watchlist

      Summer is just around the corner, and with warmer weather predicted for London next week, I'm in full preparation mode. My pedicure is scheduled, I've applied SPF, and now it's time to focus on my hair. I've been contemplating a change for a while now, and what better time to switch things up than at the beginning of a new season? As you may know, a new season often brings a wave of fresh hair trends. Whether it’s haircuts, hairstyles, or colors, this is an important time for beauty editors like me to cover the latest looks. So, true to my journalistic instincts, I've been consulting with experts to uncover the trends we can expect this summer. I chatted with Cos Sakkas, three-time British Hairdresser of the Year and global creative director at TONI&GUY, to get the scoop on what to request at my next salon visit. I also connected with Michela Bazzoli and Charley Henery, British Colour Technicians of the Year, to learn about the most exciting coloring techniques of the season. After writing this piece, I've gained a wealth of inspiration, so keep reading for the top summer hair trends ranging from bobs to shags...

      **The 6 Hottest Summer Hair Trends for 2025, According to Experts**

      1. **The Supermodel Cut**

      To start, let me introduce the supermodel cut. "This is a modern hairstyle for long hair that elegantly frames the face," Sakkas explains. "It features softly lifted layers that create natural, glossy movement, adding thickness and body." As Sakkas points out, this is an ideal hairstyle for anyone looking to maintain longer layers while giving their hair a fresh, contemporary vibe for 2025.

      **Shop the Trend:**

      - **Bondiboost Blowout Brush Pro**

      This hot brush will provide ample body and bounce to your layers, resembling a salon-worthy blow-dry at home.

      - **K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Astrolift Reparative Volume Spray**

      Enhance the movement of your hair with this volumizing spray, which I'm currently loving.

      2. **The Luxe Bob**

      If you're considering a shorter style this summer, you can’t go wrong with a bob. However, with so many variations of bob styles available, it can be daunting to choose one. According to Sakkas, this season favors the luxe bob. "It's a timeless, tailored style that works seamlessly for summer," he states. "The luxe bob gives hair a full and expensive look, making it perfect for finer textures." Like the previous style, volume and bounce are key, so be sure to have some quality styling products on hand.

      **Shop the Trend:**

      - **GHD Rise Professional Hot Brush**

      GHD's hot brush is great for styling on dry hair, and its compact size is perfect for bob cuts.

      - **Living Proof Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray**

      Finish off your look with a spritz of texture spray.

      3. **Lumi Blush**

      This summer, there will be a significant emphasis on wearable hair color trends. Bazzoli and Henery have shared numerous fantastic summer hair color trends with me, and I am particularly intrigued by the 'lumi blush' trend. "Lumi Blush employs a balayage technique to introduce soft, blush-toned highlights that frame the face while creating a subtle play of light and shadow," they explain. "This technique enhances facial features and adds depth and dimension to the haircut." Although this is a more intricate approach than typical balayage, the results will be uniquely tailored to you.

      **Shop the Trend:**

      - **Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask**

      Coloring can leave your ends looking dry, so be sure to integrate a conditioning hair mask into your weekly routine.

      - **Label.M Rejuvenating Radiance Oil**

      This hair oil will nourish your ends and impart beautiful shine.

      4. **The Shag**

      We've discussed the shag hairstyle extensively over the past few months, and this trend continues to gain popularity this season. "The shag cut features jagged and seamless textures with feathered layers and retro choppy waves," Sakkas describes. "This versatile cut has numerous variations to fit almost every hair type and texture, making it one of the summer's most sought-after styles." This look is stunning on straight, wavy, and curly hair, and it’s an ideal low-maintenance option for the hot months.

      **Shop the Trend:**

      - **Ouai Curl Enhancing Lightweight Cream**

      Enhance your curls with this lightweight cream.

      - **Hair by Sam Mcknight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist**

      This product is perfect for achieving that ultimate cool-girl hairstyle.

      5. **The Chic Crop**

      "The chic crop represents a modernized version of the classic short haircut
