My favorite thing is the playful attitude of this style. It is ideal for the informal hangouts as well as a killer contrast to anything glam.
It is so good you will not be surprised when strangers ask you about the details of your stylist.
Two-Tone Ombre with Blunt Fringe
Now this is a vibe. Long, air-dried waves combine with a jet-black-to-platinum melt, with a heavy, strong fringe. The combination provides visual balance and motion- particularly beneficial to people who are experimenting with haircuts on long hair but still need some shape around the face. It is that just right Bernasconi softness but not overly polished.
Heatless styling is your best friend here. My tip is to sleep in a loose braid so that you wake up with little styling required and texture intact. And don’t skip the leave-in—Briogeo’s Don’t Despair, Repair! strengthens while protecting the ombre transition from dryness.
There’s a reason this look feels timeless. It straddles the line between edgy and romantic and it can be worn with anything, a leather jacket or a linen sundress.
And in case you are in a mood that August is your metamorphosis month- this one will fit the mood.
Layered Curls with Natural Volume
This medium-length curly cut is built for movement. It is a summer masterpiece with short and well-blended layers that embrace the structure of curls rather than struggle against it. It is the be-all and end-all of haircuts on curly hair that not only tolerate texture but embrace it. It brings softness, shape, and a little bit of that “woke up flawless” energy.
Curly hair care is all about moisture. I am loyal to Pattern Curl Gel with definition and Hydration Shampoo on a wash day. Also—don’t skip the microfiber towel. It’s a curl-saver.
This cut has summer energy written all over it. It is supposed to exist in the wind, absorb the sun and move through the moisture without fear.
It’s like wearing your confidence out loud. And isn’t that the goal?
Classic Hollywood Waves in Fiery Red
Red is the color of bold decisions, so this cut is their anthem. The soft, bouncy waves and smooth side part are glamorous and sassy at the same time. It is one of such haircuts 2025 that transfers the old-Hollywood style to the present-day reality, particularly, the deep pigmentation of the copper-red color. Perfect on medium length haircuts and absolutely irresistible under the sun.
Red hair is a diva, it requires attention. I maintain the color with viral red shampoo of Celeb Luxury and add glowing brilliance with Glaze of Beautiful Color by Oribe.
The thing that always attracts me to this appearance is the sophistication. You might be wearing a slip dress or denim and still look like you are on a rooftop party in L.A.
When you walk in with this cut? Trust me, the room notices.
Retro Bombshell Flip with Auburn Fire
To be honest, it is the type of haircut that makes you stop scrolling. This vintage style is inspired with flipped-out curve and deep auburn richness, and it takes the 1960s into 2025 style. The bulk around the cheekbones is so flattering, particularly when you want haircuts on round faces that are not too short-short.
When I want to hold the lift and bounce, I use Oribe Volumista Mist prior to blow drying with a round brush. And yes, heat protectant is essential- I alternate between Kenra Blow-Dry Spray and my Dyson Airwrap when I am feeling patient.
It’s a head-turner for sure. Whenever I curl this haircut, I get the feeling that I am drinking espresso in a corner cafe or acting in an old film.
And, in case you have been torn between edgy and elegant this is your velvet rope compromise.
Rooty Blonde with Sea-Salted Texture
This wavy bob is the magic that is not done yet, and that is what summer dreams are made of. This haircut allows you to play with platinum without the pressure of having to touch it up every week with its shadow roots and sun-kissed blonde ends. It’s made for haircuts for short hair that still want some length and softness through the ends.
I use the Ouai Wave Spray to dial up the beachy feel and finish with IGK’s Beach Club Texture Spray—it smells divine and gives that “I was just on a yacht” energy even if I’m just at Whole Foods.
This cut is what I call low-effort high-impact. It has personality without the need of a blowout every three days.
August is the best time to read it because the air is thick and time is slow in the best way.
Silky Blunt Bob with Champagne Blonde
A dead straight cut with rounded off ends and this golden champagne color? Pure luxury. It is one of those straight hair haircuts that appear costly yet not over the top. It is all the clean edge and internal layering to keep it light and fluid. So timeless it almost feels futuristic.
To maintain that healthy, glassy finish, I am inclined to Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil and a weekly mask of Olaplex No. 8. I also make sure to get trims every five weeks without exception- blunt bobs need discipline.
To me, this cut screams Walker polish. It is powerful, minimal, and strong with a pinch of sass.
And, to be frank, with a cut this sharp, you can wear a hoodie and you will feel like a fashion editor.
XL Volume Curls with Full Definition
This fierce, full-bodied shape is made to stand out. Tight ringlets made into a rounded halo with the most density possible- this is one of the most celebration-worthy haircuts of curly hair in 2025. It is the type of appearance that delivers all the strength of the natural texture and then enhances it with the intentional layering.
My equipament to curl hair: Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk + a diffuser with Dyson Supersonic. To refresh in between wash days, I can not recommend DevaCurl Mist-er Right Refresh Spray enough.
This trim makes me feel that I can occupy space- and own it. It is unapologetic, unashamed and infinitely cool with glam or sneakers.
And when the August humidity is a blow, this texture remains beautiful rather than struggling with the weather. That’s a summer win.
