Hairstyles suitable for summer

While speaking to Briefly News qualified artistic and creative hairstylist Lazaros Sumbane shared the top hairstyles that are suitable for the summer season.

The hairdresser said the following:

"For a stylish and cool summer look, consider a short bob haircut, it's a timeless classic that never goes out of style. A short bob can be customized to fit your face shape and hair type, and it's perfect for hot summer days. You can also add some texture and dimension to your bob with layers or bangs."

Pixie cut, asymmetrical bob, sleek bob, or smooth crop are summer-appropriate styles for edge, easy maintenance, and coolness, while sleek bobs or smooth crops are elegant Lazaros expressed.

Bertha Wigs suggested:

"Sometimes do research to know which hair the inspo use because stylists also don't know which hair to use, but the braid is nice though."
