The 8 Hair Trends You’ll See Everywhere This Summer

Of all of the seasons, summer is probably one of the perfect times of the year to experiment with your hairstyles. Sure, we have to tackle the flyaway-inducing humidity, and our hair can be prone to damage from the sun’s UV rays and the sea or chlorine (we’ve got plenty of post-swim hairstyles for those scenarios) as we jet away on our holidays, but the carefree vibe of summer is the optimum time to try a new haircut or hairstyle if you’ve been feeling a change for a while. On the flip side, it’s also the time to embrace your hair’s natural texture—plus, who really wants to dig out their straighteners or hairdryer when the temperatures soar outside? Not us. We’re all about those easy hairstyles that can survive a warm commute, look chic for work and carry us into summer soirees and fun-filled weekends in the sunshine.

So, what summer 2023 hair trends can we expect to see over the next couple of months? To find out, I tapped the expertise of hairstylist Sam McKnight, Paul Percival, founder of Percy & Reed and session hairstylist Syd Hayes to share their thoughts on the hairstyles, hair colours and haircuts we can expect to see trending this summer.
