Olive Skin Tones Should Experiment With Caramel Tones
Like darker skin tones, Papanikolas suggests that those with olive skin should play around with illuminating caramel tones this summer. However, he always recommends looking at your undertones first in order to get the best color result. Those with cool undertones look best with a darker base with hints of caramel and honey blonde while those with warm undertones look best with warm honey and caramel tones.

Oval Face Shapes Should Try Pixie Cuts
Oval faces tend to be the most proportionate, so they can pull off almost any haircut (long or short) of their choosing. With this mind, oval face shapes should feel encouraged to try out daring haircuts this summer. Pixies, in particular, can help welcome the coming season in with a bang.

"An oval face shape will look good with any cut, so if you have a long bob, you could go for a big change and have a pixie cut," Nate Bova, senior stylist at Warren Tricomi says.

Diamond Face Shapes Should Consider Short Bobs
Diamond shapes tend to have wider cheekbones and a more narrow forehead, making them ideal candidates for a short chin-length bob, according to Bova. How you cut your bob is very important, however. He recommends opting for a diagonal bob to help flatter your face.

Round Face Shapes Can Try Layered Bangs
Round face shapes tend to have soft and rounded features, which are perfect for trying out layered bangs this summer, says Bova. To style your bangs with ease, he recommends sweeping them to the side to help create dimension from the forehead to the cheekbones. Fringed pixies are also another summer hairstyle round face shapes can try, as Alicia Orabella, owner of Orabella Hair Studio and Keune Haircosmetics educator, says it can lengthen your face and emphasize your eyes.

Square Face Shapes Should Try Center Parts and Long Sweeping Fringe
If you have more of a square-shaped face, Bova recommends styling your hair with center or side-swept parts since they can help complement a square face shape beautifully. Papanikolas says this face should feel free to try longer lengths with a sweeping fringe, especially since it helps soften the corners of the face.
