This short bob haircut suits all body types and will dethrone the bob this summer 2026.

This summer of 2026, a daring short haircut is making its mark in salons and on social networks. It has an evocative name: the Capri cut. For those who dream of freshness and style without spending hours on it, this short bob could well become your season’s best ally.

The Capri cut: a short bob that makes an impact

It’s no coincidence that this short cut is named after the famous Italian city. The Capri cut is a short bob that clears the nape of the neck and stops at the chin. It gives a chic, sophisticated look, while remaining very simple to wear every day.

A touch of mascara and a little lipstick are all it takes to make you look like a supermodel. It’s a cut that makes an impact without requiring too much effort. What’s more, it’s perfect for the season of halter tops and light dresses.

On the maintenance front, the good news is confirmed. A morning comb to reposition lengths, a little texturizing spray to add volume, and you’re all set. So even hurried mornings are no longer an obstacle to a flawless look.

“Nothing dresses it up: all it takes is a hint of mascara and a little lipstick to make you look like a supermodel with a haircut this stylish.”

Which hair texture is right for this cut?

It’s best to have the right hair texture for the Capri cut. With straight or slightly wavy hair, this short bob is easier to wear and style. On the other hand, with curly hair, your lengths may rise too much.

The effect will certainly be splendid, but different from the original Capri vibe. So if you have curls, talk to your hairdresser about adapting the cut to your hair type. A customized version can work just as well.

• On straight hair: faithful rendering and easy maintenance
• On wavy hair: natural texture adds movement
• On curly hair: different effect, to be adapted by a professional
• Texturizing spray helps you gain volume
• A quick comb over for a well-groomed look

Capri cut: for which face shape?

Good news: this short cut suits everyone, whatever their facial morphology. Whether your face is round, oval, square-jawed or pointed, the Capri square is sure to make you look your best. It frames the cheekbones with remarkable precision.

This short bob cuts through the chin, leaving the nape of the neck clear. It adds an undeniably feminine touch in the warmer months. From now on, there’s no need to resort to contouring to sculpt your face: the cut does the job.

For round faces, the chin lengthens the features. For more angular faces, it softens the jawline. There’s something for everyone with this versatile short cut.

Adapt the cut to the thickness of your hair

If you have thick hair, don’t hesitate to opt for a tapered version. This will give you a lighter look and avoid the helmet effect. Your hairdresser will know how to remove the necessary material for an airy look.

On the other hand, on fine hair, it’s best to opt for a slight gradation. This technique adds volume and movement to the hair. A texturizing spray will do the rest to achieve the ideal result.

Why adopt this short cut this summer 2026?

In summer, there are always two camps. On one side, those who let their hair grow so they can be easily tied back. On the other, those who prefer to cut their hair short to enjoy the fresh air on the nape of their necks and start afresh before the new school year.

For summer 2026, it’s the seconds that are likely to be right on trend. The Capri cut seems to be winning over more and more people. It embodies both boldness and practicality, two qualities in demand during the warmer months.

Demi Moore, Heidi Klum and Virginie Efira all succumbed to this hair trend at Cannes. This short cut is the choice of women who dare to assert their style. So, are you ready to take the plunge this summer?

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this short bob offers real freedom. No more hours spent detangling or drying long locks. With the Capri cut, every morning becomes easier and every outing more stylish.
