Summer Cuts for 2008

So you might not be an Olympic superstar.  But that doesn’t mean you can LOOK like you deserve a gold medal?  The sun is getting brighter and brighter as we near the end of August, and one way to look cool is to stay cool this summer.  Why not try a new hair cut?  The idea for a good summer cut is to keep it light, keep it short, or keep it wavy!

Keep it light

Let’s get down to the basics.  If you put too much crud in your hair, you’re going to feel weighed down, and the sun is going to do nothing more than make your head pour out more natural oils.  More oil + a lot of hair product = heavy and gross!  Be sure to do what you can to make your hair look light and wispy.  If the wind isn’t moving it, it’s probably too heavy for this scorching heat!  Check out these stars who manage to look like they’re made for fun in the sun!

Keep it short

Short hair is an obvious choice for summer.  You’ll feel lighter on your feet, some people never realize how heavy hair is on their head until they lose it!  If you are daring enough to try it, go for the pixie cut.  You can see Rhianna did it this year, what do you think?

Keep it wavy

Keep it wavy.  Wavy hair has become synonymous with carefree summers at the beach.  Let your hair go a little wild, like you’ve just come back from the beach.  Or you can do it all nice and professional like Jessica Alba below.  One tip is to braid your hair while it’s still wet, to give it that natural wave.
