Fancy a change? Here, all the new season hair inspiration you need.
There’s a cliché that summer is the best time to go blonde. While you can go lighter at any point throughout the year, there’s something about the warmer months that inspires women to make a change.
Come December, we’re sure to see a few more blondes about town. However, there are plenty of other hair trends on the rise, too. Here, we tap a few of Sydney’s best hairdressers for their two cents on the trending styles of spring/summer 2019.

CHOPPY CROPS
“We think this choppy textured haircut is every woman’s hair crush—Its short and still oozes sex appeal! The beauty about this haircut is that you have the choice if you want to wear it slick one day, or textured and cute the next. It’s like asking your hairstylist for a two in one style.”
TEXTURED ‘COOL GIRL’ BOBS
“Dua Lipa’s graphic ‘cool girl bob’ is the perfect example of how you can wear this haircut and not look like a nanna. Keep the texture “undone” rather than restricted and poker straight. Dua’s bob is definitely on my radar—girls are already asking for this and it’s not even summer yet!”
HIGH PONYTAILS
“The retro style high ponytail, as seen on Bella Hadid, is for sure making a comeback and alongside it the scrunchie—who would believe that? Reason for that is that we are seeing a lot of 90s influence also now back now in hair trends.”
THE ’70S SHAG
“This is ‘the haircut’ for this summer. It’s long yet sits anywhere between the nipple and two inches below the collar bone; it’s heavily layered yet so loose and soft through the ends. It has strong layering all around the face. It has a full fringe or centre part drop fringe. It’s the ultimate wash and wear look. It’s a ‘strong’ haircut although so effortless.”
BLUNT ’90S BOB
“This style works well with a middle part or accentuated side part to show off the internal layers and movement. How short you go will depend on your bone structure, but the short, blunt bob works with all hair types from wavy to straight. The key to this cut is keeping the exterior or bottom line blunt, because that’s where the drama comes from.”
SUPER LONG HAIR
“Pulling off this look starts with the right haircut, for this extreme long hair look ask your hairstylist for a definitely line at the base. Next, it’s all down to what you do at home, because super long hair looks best when it’s healthy and well maintained. Make sure you add protein to your hair as well as moisture.”
TOP KNOTS
“Who wants sweaty hair round their face in the summer? We’re not talking about a perfectly-styled bun, but instead, a DIY top knot that looks like you haven’t tried too hard.”
ONE LENGTH HAIR
“I think the one length look is going to be a summer staple—and I love the fact that hair can be parted to one side to mix the look up. A deep side part takes you from beach bunny to nightclub ready.”
WILD CURLS
“The biggest news for the coming season is embracing your curls , deeply nourished ringlets and shaggy curl cuts are big for summer! We have been playing with the dropped tong for some years now and to me looks old fashioned, it’s all about a tighter curl to the roots and a more carefree energy.”
