Summer's 5 Hottest Hair Trends
It’s the season of weddings, beach weekend getaways, and outdoor festivals — making warm-weather hair a style accessory. “Today, wigs are as much a means of self-expression as they are an answer to thinning hair,” says Designer & CEO Alan Eaton. And wigs make it easy to rock just the right look for every place the summer takes you.
1. BRING OUT THE BANGS
The macro-bang trend that started during Paris Fashion Week has only gotten bigger. Long, eyelash-skimming fringe gives styles like JOY and AMY an extra layer of style and versatility. And thanks to the parting flexibility of our new GIA MONO, you can wear the bangs blunt and long, center-parted like curtain bangs, or pinned into the rest of your hair.
To perfectly trim a wig’s bangs just like you would your natural hair, read our How to Cut Your Wig’s Bangs post.
2. BEACH WAVES ARE A TIMELESS SUMMER STYLE
"Luckily, wig-wearers can achieve the look in minutes, without going anywhere near the beach,” says Eaton, whose exclusive heat-friendly EnvyHair™️ blend makes curling your way to this must-have look super easy—as illustrated below with ENVY’s lush lob, LISA.

3. THE OLD MONEY BOB
From Zendaya during her Challengers press tour to Emma Stone and Hailey Bieber on the red carpet, this longer, bouncier ode to preppy, private school chic is all about fullness and a sleek, straight polish.
For synthetic bobs, apply a small amount of ENVY BEAUTY BALM Sculpting Cream at the roots to add old money volume. With heat-friendly EnvyHair™️ styles like LYNSEY, use a blow-dryer to lift the roots and a brush to create a straight, glossy finish. Then set with hairspray to keep your moneyed look going all day.
4. GO ICY BLONDE
While many go lighter in the summer months, the best new blonde is bright and icy, like ENVY’s Platinum Shadow (a rooted pale platinum) and Golden Sandstone (a rooted cool medium blonde).
5. FLIP IT
Some have credited Sofia Coppola's film, Priscilla (as in “Presley”) for putting the hair flip back in the spotlight. And exclusive EnvyHair™️ blend of 30% Human Hair/70% Heat-Friendly synthetic fiber invites fans of ZOEY or GRACE to get the retro glam look in minutes. Curling hair up at the ends (with iron set to 285°F/140° C) adds bounce for an extra feminine and flirty feel.
