The Summer Haircuts Celebrities Are Getting Right Now
This summer, allow these Filipino celebrities to inspire you to get a haircut.
If summer isn’t enough to convince you to reinvent yourself, starting with your hair, then I don’t know what will.
We, as Filipinos, know that heat, the light, and the slower pace of the season makes change feel not just tempting, but sometimes, even necessary. And while the Philippine sun might push us toward the obvious (hello, blunt bobs and anything above the shoulders), the truth is: summer hair doesn’t have to be predictable. It can be soft, playful, edgy, or even a little nostalgic, just like the celebrities currently stepping out with cuts that feel both effortless and intentional.
If you’ve been flirting with the idea of a transformation, consider this your nudge. These local stars are making a strong case for a salon visit, and maybe a little bravery.
The bixie revival
I mean we’ve been seeing this trend among international celebrities, but locally? Take it from Jodi Sta. Maria: the bixie is back, and it’s softer than ever. Styled by Jaywee, her version features a middle part and wispy bangs that lightly frame the face. It’s the kind of cut that whispers “cool girl” rather than shouting it—low-maintenance, airy, and perfect for humid days when you still want movement without the weight.
Effortless texture for the boys
For those leaning into a more laid-back vibe, Will Ashley offers a masterclass in understated cool. His textured short crop, cut by Jeremy Blendz, features softly tapered sides and a slightly messy top. It’s the kind of haircut that looks even better as the day goes on—no overstyling required, just a bit of attitude.
Playful layers that move with you
If you’re not ready to go full pixie, Ryzza Mae Dizon proves that a layered bob can be just as refreshing. Also styled by Dencio Aguilar, her tousled finish gives the cut a breezy, lived-in feel, ideal for days when the heat calls for something light, but you still want versatility.
Color meets length
Not all summer transformations require a big chop. Case in point: BINI Stacey Sevilleja, who’s turning heads with long, sleek, bubblegum pink hair courtesy of July Vito. This Coachella hair look is bold, unapologetic, and surprisingly wearable when paired with simple styling. If you’re attached to your length, a bit of a trim and a color switch might be the refresh you didn’t know you needed.
The new-gen mullet
Yes, the mullet is still here, but it’s evolved. Esnyr Ranollo wears a modern mullet (or soft wolf cut, depending on who you ask) by Dencio Aguilar. Think less “throwback” and more “editorial edge.” The layers create movement, while the shape keeps it interesting from every angle. It’s bold, but wearable.
The elevated lob
Then there’s the forever-classic lob–reimagined. Karylle Tatlonghari-Yuzon wears hers in soft, shoulder-length layers styled by Zero1story. It’s polished without being stiff, offering just enough movement to feel modern. Think of it as the haircut equivalent of a crisp white shirt: timeless, but never boring.
So…is it time?
Summer hair isn’t about drastic change (unless you want it to be). It’s about finding something that feels lighter–literally and emotionally. A cut that moves with you, survives the humidity, and still looks good at the end of a long, sun-soaked day.
Whatever you decide to do with your hair, the best summer haircut is the one that makes you feel like a slightly cooler version of yourself. That might be reason enough to book the appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
The standout cuts this summer include the bixie (a blend of pixie and bob with wispy bangs), the layered bob, the textured short crop for men, the modern mullet or wolf cut, and the elevated lob. Filipino celebrities wearing these styles in 2026 include Jodi Sta. Maria, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Esnyr Ranollo, and Karylle Tatlonghari-Yuzon.
The bixie cut and layered bob are strong options for humid Philippine weather — both reduce weight and add movement without bulk. Textured crops also perform well, as they require minimal product to maintain. Styles with excessive length or sleekness, like blunt straight cuts, are harder to maintain in high humidity without anti-frizz products.
Yes — the modern mullet, sometimes called the wolf cut, is actively worn by Filipino celebrities and styled by Filipino hairstylists in 2026. The current version is softer and more layered than the original, leaning editorial rather than retro. It suits a range of textures and works particularly well on medium to thick Filipino hair types.
A bixie cut is a hybrid between a pixie and a bob — typically featuring a middle part, wispy or curtain-style bangs, and tapered length around the ears and nape. It is well-suited for Filipinas because its lighter structure handles humidity better than a blunt bob, and its soft framing is flattering across a range of face shapes common in Filipino features.
Yes — a color change can be a high-impact summer refresh without losing length. BINI Stacey Sevilleja’s bubblegum pink long hair, achieved by colorist July Vito, is a current example. A trim to remove damage combined with a bold or pastel color switch delivers a visible transformation while preserving length for those not ready for a short cut.
