Scandi bob and 'cloud' bangs lead summer hair trends

The Scandi bob, a minimalist haircut inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics, has become a staple on runways and social media. Characterised by straight, precise lines, soft ends and low layering, it gives hair a healthy, natural movement and requires little styling. Celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Gracie Abrams have been spotted with the style, boosting its popularity in salons worldwide.

The "cloud" bangs, a light, airy version of traditional fringe, were popularised by singer Camila Cabello and hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos. The thin, breezy bangs sit around the mid‑eyelid, add volume and soften facial features, and are praised for their ease of maintenance in hot, humid weather. They pair well with long hair and a middle part, and are expected to remain a leading trend through the autumn season.
