5 haircuts to try when you get back from vacation Split ends after the beach? It's time to give them a good cut

It may sound like the usual beauty cliché, but sun, salt water, chlorine, tight ponytails and super sleek buns worn throughout summer always come back to haunt our hair once we return. Dry ends, actually, extremely dry ends, dull lengths and faded colour. The diagnosis is only one: a fresh haircut for the new year. Or, to be more precise, that “new year” that for many people doesn’t start in January, but in September, when we go back to the office, university or simply everyday life, with a strong desire to start over with a new look.

5 haircuts to try after the holidays

Boy bob

Every year there is a different bob ready to steal the spotlight from the previous one. First the French bob, then the Italian bob, followed by the Japanese bob. This summer, however, it is all about the boy bob, a haircut so minimal it looks like it could have walked straight off a The Row runway. Clean, effortless and barely structured, with a length that grazes the jawline or sits just below it. In other words: the perfect haircut to remove all those ends that summer has slowly turned into straw. Its strength lies precisely in its simplicity. No layers, no complicated styling routine every morning, just a quick brush and you are ready to go.

Butterfly cut with bangs

For those who are not ready to give up their length but are realistic enough to admit that their ends need some attention after summer, the butterfly cut is the perfect compromise. The layers lighten the hair, removing the most damaged sections (without any dramatic haircut shock). For the bolder ones, you can add a beautiful fringe: September is the perfect moment to try it, now that heat and humidity are giving way to cooler temperatures and you can finally show off bangs without fighting forehead sweat every morning.

Lob

The lob is the haircut that sits somewhere between a bob and long hair, the perfect compromise for those who simply want to rip off the band-aid by getting rid of damaged ends. It usually falls around shoulder length or slightly below, refreshing the hair while allowing you to grow back what was cut away in no time.

Shaggy pixie

For those who truly need a dramatic change, the shaggy pixie is the right choice. It combines the practicality of a pixie cut with the rebellious attitude of a shag: soft layers, uneven strands and an intentionally messy texture.

Rockstar cut

The rockstar cut includes all those haircuts full of movement and personality that finally leave the obsession with the perfect blowout locked away in your suitcase. A heavily layered cut, with a long, playful fringe, it is an ode to natural textures, tousled strands and that cool girl energy of looking effortlessly chic after staying up all night.
