3 trending summer haircuts by Oli Amodio
The sun is out in London, which mostly means navigating a sticky Central Line commute while trying to keep your fringe from plastering to your forehead. If you’re ready to lighten things up and keep cool this summer, we’ve got some inspiration from East London for you.
Direct from the chair of Oli Amodio at Blue Tit Leyton, we’re serving up three effortless, high-payoff cuts that look intentionally undone, incredibly chic, and require absolutely zero hot-tool-induced sweat.
1. The bixie
The vibe: The “I woke up like this and actually mean it” hair. It’s the ultimate hybrid for when you want the crop of a pixie but the soft framing of a classic bob.
The look: Heavily textured, piecey, and effortlessly retro. Think 90s-era Michelle Williams – blonde, slightly tousled, and impossibly cool. It’s built for textured hair and anyone who wants to skip the styling queue.
How to style: Put down the hair dryer. Massage in a touch of texturising cream or sea salt spray, scrunch, and let the summer air do the heavy lifting. Air-drying is the new high-effort look.
2. The Italian bob
The vibe: Rich, blunt, and unapologetically sophisticated. If you’ve spent the last year contemplating a bob but suffer from short-hair stage fright, this is your safety net.
The look: A slightly longer, heavier chin-skimming cut with rounded, chunky ends. Think Hailey Bieber looking incredibly polished with zero flyaways.
How to style: Tuck it behind your ears and keep it sleek. It is clean, sharp, and works perfectly for those mornings when you have back-to-back meetings followed by after-work drinks.
3. The wolf cut
The vibe: Shabby, rebellious, and highly intentional. The edgiest of the bunch for when you want a cut with a bit of a bite.
The look: Wispy, shag-like layers with soft, face-framing fringe. It’s a textured dream that actually thrives on London humidity. Take notes from Naomi Scott, who recently paired this choppy silhouette with a bright red hue.
How to style: The messier, the better. Shake it out, add a dab of styling paste to the ends to define the layers, and go.
