If long hair flowing in the breeze is what comes to mind when you think of summer, you're not alone. "This reflects the summer's carefree and active spirit, letting hair do what it wants without excessive styling or perfectionism," Martin says. But "this doesn't mean your hair should be neglected just because your goal is to grow it out." She recommends a long layered cut with some type of bang, whether it's bottleneck bangs or curtain bangs, so you "feel like you still have a definitive style."
Face-framing layers are a great way to add shape to your look without having to go full bangs. "By fulfilling the wish of keeping the length and adding a sultry face frame, we can embrace the summer weather and still look hot," says hairstylist Rachel Lee. "Whether your hair is up or down, in its natural texture or styled, this is the look for summer."
