Ever since we saw Alanna Arrington strut her stuff at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last year, we can't get enough. And, as it turns out, her '70s-inspired shag will be one of the hottest trends of the season. In addition to rocking her natural texture (a no-brainer when it comes to hot, humid weather), her sweep of bangs gives this summer haircut a fresh, vintage look.
Expert tip: Try a hat! "Bangs with hats are everything," says Audrey Rae, celebrity stylist and co-owner of RA_Hair House. The ultimate summer accessory (in addition to your SPF), hats are a must when it comes to protecting your color and the integrity of your hair.

Jessica Biel
Love your length? Don't fret. Longer tresses can still get an update for summer when paired with a heathy dose of fringe. Masterfully combining two of the season's hottest trends, Jessica Biel rocks cool-girl juxtaposition á la covetable bed-head texture and heavy bangs. And yes, in honor of JT, we happen to think this style would be perfect for "ridin' in the drop-top with the top down." Summer Love? You bet.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum
If your hair is on the thicker side, take Jenna Dewan-Tatum's lead this summer and go for a bold, shortened lob and superthick bangs. If you have naturally full hair, Stenson advises that "adding texture around your features will soften up your style and open up your face to show off the cheek bones and eyes." To nail your length, Blum says a shortened-for-summer lob should fall about one inch above the shoulder, allowing for the perfect amount of movement.

Alexa Chung
According to Kennedy VanDyke, celebrity stylist and co-owner of RA_Hair House, hair that's on-trend for summer should get a dose of disco fever. "Fun, flirty and short," this hot summer haircut features layers (circa the '70s) and "lots of movement." Thick or parted, side-swept bangs are the cherry on top. VanDyke cites Alexa Chung as the ultimate inspiration.
