This trend has led the way for months and will continue reigning this summer.

The face-framing layers create movement and allow for styling flexibility, even with color.”
Who it’s for: Best suited for oval or elongated face shapes and not recommended for fine hair.

Pedro Moreno recommends this structured style with a bold blonde twist: “Go for cool or warm blonde tones, but always with a defined cut—neck-length, slightly feathered, and softly graduated.” It’s all about harmony between cut and color for a high-fashion result.

Alberto Cerdán suggests this hybrid of the bob and pixie as a top short-hair trend: “It’s highly versatile and works across many hair types. It’s a playful, confident look with lots of personality.” He recommends the Layered Bob for more structure, which delivers shape, movement, and a youthful effect.And don’t overlook the bangs: “Straight bangs are making a strong comeback, offering a polished, youthful vibe, while curtain bangs remain a go-to for a more relaxed, natural look.”

“This is for those ready to embrace short hair fully,” says Nadia Barrientos. It’s practical and refreshingly low-maintenance and particularly suits angular, defined faces. The fringe adds volume and balance for women with larger foreheads.

Moreno brings attention to XXL hairs:
“Long hair continues to trend, especially when paired with subtle highlights around the face and color contrasts that add dimension—no big chop required.”
Perfect for long-hair lovers seeking a fresh, modern touch.
Pro tip: Go for a ‘naturally enhanced’ effect; expert hands are a must. This summer, your haircut should speak for you—whether it’s unruly curls, iconic blondes, or radiant, light-reflecting strands.

This 90s throwback is back in style thanks to its fuss-free vibe.
“It’s easy to manage and low-effort to dry. Slightly shorter in the back, it works well with a center part and lightly textured ends,” says Barrientos.
Pro tip: Use a wax or end serum with your fingers to add that effortless, lived-in texture.

This collarbone-grazing cut was a winter favorite meant to stay strong through summer. Juandiegoteo, REDKEN ambassador and hair designer, explains: “It’s flattering, adds elegance, and suits all face shapes. In fact, it’s one of the most requested styles at the salon.” Wear it sleek or with soft waves—it’s flattering at any age.“It’s great for younger women and mature hair that needs a boost without losing length.”
Pro tip: For round faces, opt for a center part and keep the volume low. For longer faces, create fullness at the sides to balance the shape—especially helpful for fine hair.
