French Inspired Pixie Cuts

For a hairstyle with plenty of "je ne sais quoi" this summer, go for a French inspired gamine crop.  This stylish version of the classic pixie has longer hair on top coupled with the traditional pixie short crop  at the back and sides.

This look channels that famous stylish French nonchalance, with tousled layers and waves on the crown of the head giving this look a fashionable undone style.  The good news is that no styling tools are needed for this look: it looks best just styled with your fingers and a little mousse.

The Heartthrob Bob

Nineties nostalgia is everywhere this year, including women's hair trends with the arrival of the popular heartthrob bob.   This is another choppy style with close cropped layers at the nape of the neck plus longer curtains of hair sweeping across the cheekbones at the front.  This relaxed cut falls naturally around the face giving it a casual, lived-in vibe.   

This cut works well with all hair types and textures  and will keep you cool over the summer as it's cut short round your neck.  When time is short, you'll be pleased to hear that this another style that you can just wash, tousle and go!

Collar Bone Grazing Lobs

If you aren't quite ready for a full crop, we recommend the chic collar bone grazing lob.   This flattering cut is great for warm summer days as it allows you to style it in multiple different ways, including putting it up if you want to.  

You will find that just losing a few inches off your hair will give your look a major style reboot.  Shorter layers breathe new life into an on-trend shag haircut, and add volume and thickness to fine hair.

The lob works equally well of all hair textures.  Take a look at Laura Harrier's chic locks for inspiration.

Will I still be able to style my short hair?
