9 Haircut Trends To Try For A Complete Summer 2024 Refresh

Next to more choppy, textured bobs, blunt “power bobs” will be on the rise for summer 2024, too. The cut is a single length, all the way around, and typically hits on or just about shoulder-length.

“Blunt bobs are classic,” says Ericka Verett, a celebrity hairstylist who works with clients like Lili Reinhart, Miranda Kerr, and more.

For ultimate hair health (and regrowth after the refresh), Verett points to the SpoiledChild E27 Extra Strength Liquid Collagen ($55) for nourishment from the inside out.

Just ahead of spring 2024, Riawna Capri — a celebrity hairstylist and founder of West Hollywood’s Nine Zero One salon — chopped a “micro mini bob” on Julianne Hough. Since then, ultra-short bobs that fall just an inch or two below one’s ears have been gaining popularity.

Capri tells Bustle she believes the style will be a total summer 2024 staple. As for her expert tips on styling the Parisian-inspired ’do? “For this cut, round blow dryer brushes are great. You just want to get it tight and sleek, going in a downward direction,” she says. “Short hair usually looks best with a lot of smoothing and shining product to give it that polished look.”

In the mood for a completely new look? Cavalcante suggests the tousled pixie, an edgy look seen on Lori Harvey and Florence Pugh while she was growing out her shaved head.

“Pixies are short, androgynous, and edgy. Short hair with texture and layers can be tucked behind the ears, or slicked back for a more formal, timeless look,” he tells Bustle.

For the girlies with texture (curly and coily strands included), shaggy wolf cuts are a green flag for summertime, says Josh.

ICYWW, “wolf cuts” are essentially a combination of a shag and a mullet. It sounds weird, but actually results in major texture and movement, with a total ’70s influence.

Not quite ready to completely unveil an alter ego with a micro bob or pixie? Well, a mid-length lob that hits below the shoulders might just be the best option. It’s cropped enough to still feel like “short” hair, but still long enough to allow you to pull it up and switch up your look. Margot Robbie, for one, has recently ditched her longer strands for a summertime refresh.

Move over, micro bangs — a slightly longer bang length is taking over. “‘Bot Bangs’ — AKA midi bangs — give a futuristic fashionista look,” notes Cavalcante.

Barbie’s breakout star, Ariana Greenblatt, recently rocked the edgy cut at Paris Fashion Week, while Julia Fox experimented with the mid-length bangs at New York Fashion Week.

In March of 2024, both Gigi Hadid and Sydney Sweeney stepped out with freshly-chopped bobs with lots of effortless movement. Because of it, Harry Josh predicts that refreshed bobs will be the move for the hot months ahead.

Cavalcante agrees, recommending “gel and mousse to give hold and definition.” According to him, bobs look laidback with added texture.

For those who have a hard time parting ways with their signature look, Cavalcante says curtain bangs are an effortless way to switch things up. “It offers a modern and trendy appearance, without necessitating a drastic commitment.”

Sabrina Carpenter and Kim Kardashian are a few A-listers who have experimented with the bouncy look. You really can’t go wrong.

While many summer 2024 trends are about going for a big change, both Josh and Cavalcante agree that well-layered hair is always a mood. “Classic hair is going nowhere,” says Josh. The minimally chic look will continue in popularity, thanks to the still-rising “quiet luxury” aesthetic.

For those looking to grow their hair out to achieve the look, scalp care is key. Try the SpoiledChild A22 Bitoin Boost Hair + Scalp Serum ($49) — it works to increase fullness for your healthiest head of hair ever.
