Summer has officially arrived, bringing sunshine, weddings, vacations, outdoor celebrations, and plenty of reasons to look and feel your best. It's also the perfect time to refresh your hairstyle and embrace the latest seasonal trends.
At bfab Bridal & Beauty, we're seeing a beautiful mix of effortless, polished styles that not only look stunning but also hold up to warm weather. Whether you're attending a wedding, heading to a special event, updating your professional headshots, or simply treating yourself, here's what's trending this summer—and how to decide whether to wear your hair up or down.
Summer Hair Trends We're Loving
This season is all about soft movement, healthy shine, and hairstyles that feel natural rather than overly structured.
Some of our favorite summer looks include:
Loose beach-inspired waves
Soft Hollywood curls
Sleek low buns
Romantic textured updos
Chic ponytails with face-framing pieces
Half-up, half-down styles
Braided accents and effortless twists
Glossy blowouts with plenty of volume
The common theme? Hair that looks elegant without looking overdone.
Should You Wear Your Hair Up or Down?
One of the questions we hear most often is:
"Should I wear my hair up or leave it down?"
The answer depends on your event, your outfit, and even the weather.
Choose an Updo If...
Attending an outdoor summer wedding
Expecting hot or humid weather
Wearing a dress with an open back or detailed neckline
Planning to dance all evening
Looking for a timeless, elegant style
Wearing a veil or statement earrings
An updo keeps your hair secure throughout the day and helps you stay cool, making it especially popular for summer weddings and outdoor events.
Wear Your Hair Down If...
Having professional photos taken
Going on a date night
Attending a bridal shower or baby shower
Celebrating a birthday
Looking for a softer, more relaxed style
Wearing a simpler neckline that allows your hair to be part of the overall look
Today's professional blowouts are designed with movement and long-lasting hold, so you can enjoy glamorous hair without worrying about it falling flat.
Can't Decide?
Many clients choose a half-up, half-down style, giving them the best of both worlds. It keeps hair away from the face while still showing off beautiful curls, waves, or length.
Our stylists are always happy to recommend the perfect style based on your dress, face shape, hair type, event, and personal style.
