2. The Luxe Bob

If you're thinking of going shorter this summer, you can't go wrong with a bob hairstyle. However, with so many different bob hair trends out there, it can be hard to know which one to go for. According to Sakkas, this season is all about the luxe bob. "It's a timeless, tailored style that works effortlessly for the summer," he says. "The luxe bob leaves hair looking expensive and full, making it the perfect cut for finer hair textures."
