One of the biggest and most popular hair trends of summer is to chop those locks off. It’s weight off the shoulders, it’s cooling and, most importantly, it means the start of one of the most relaxing (and hot) seasons in the year. There’s an abundance of chic and fun short hairstyles to the point where short haircuts don’t always mean they’re going to turn out like Keri Russell’s in season 2 of “Felicity,” unless you want them to, of course. Get some hair-spiration courtesy of yours truly if you’re thinking of making the cut this summer.

Add a slight a-line to your short ‘do for a fun flair. A severe a-line may be too much for someone who’s just experimenting with short hair, which is why a slight and subtle a-line gives you a little of an edgy look while still keeping it classy.
