Styles To Keep You Cool This Summer

Easy Hairstyles to Keep You Cool in the Halifax Heatwave

Looking for an easy hairstyle to keep you cool during the Halifax heatwave? Shorter cuts such as bobs and pixie cuts remove excess weight, while low ponytails and messy buns keep longer hair away from your neck and face.

At Anthony James Hair Salon in Halifax, our award-winning stylists can recommend a summer haircut or hairstyle that suits your hair type, face shape and lifestyle.

The Classic Bob

The classic bob is one of the best summer haircuts for keeping cool without sacrificing style. Removing excess length and weight helps your hair feel lighter, keeps it away from your shoulders and can significantly reduce drying and styling time.

A blunt bob creates a sleek, polished finish, while soft layers or added texture can give the cut more movement. Your Anthony James stylist will tailor the length and shape to complement your features, hair texture and preferred styling routine.

The Low Ponytail

If you are not ready for a shorter haircut, a low ponytail is a simple way to keep your hair off your neck during warm weather.

This versatile summer hairstyle works beautifully with straight, wavy and curly hair. Wear it sleek and polished or loosen a few strands around your face for a softer finish. A lightweight smoothing or anti-humidity product can help control flyaways and keep your style looking fresh throughout the day.

The Pixie Cut

A pixie cut is an excellent choice if you want a short, cool and low-maintenance summer hairstyle. It is quick to wash, easy to style and can be personalised to feel soft and feminine or bold and textured.

Our Halifax hairdressers can adapt your pixie cut to suit your face shape, hair type and natural texture. Regular trims will help maintain the shape and keep your haircut looking its best throughout the summer.

The Messy Bun

The messy bun is a quick and effortless hairstyle for hot summer days. It keeps your hair away from your face and neck while still looking stylish and put-together.

Simply gather your hair, twist it into a loose bun and secure it with a soft hair tie or pins. This look works especially well with natural waves and curls, so there is no need to make it perfectly smooth. Avoid pulling the hair too tightly, particularly if you wear your hair up regularly.

Can Layers Help Keep Hair Cool?

Yes. Adding carefully placed layers can remove bulk and weight while allowing you to keep much of your length. Layers can also encourage movement and make thick hair feel more manageable during hot or humid weather.

Your stylist will consider your hair density, texture and condition before recommending the most suitable type of layering.

How Can I Control Frizz During a Heatwave?

Humidity can make hair feel frizzy, fluffy or difficult to manage. Using moisture-balancing shampoo and conditioner, applying heat protection and choosing a lightweight smoothing product can all help.

Our team can recommend professional haircare products suited to your individual hair type, rather than relying on heavy products that may weigh your hair down.
