To find out what crops make the cut this season, we spoke with Shukeel Murtaza of Barney Martin. Here's what's hot in hair for summer.
1. Oh boyThanks to Agney Deyn, the androgynous look is still in full swing. Short hair with long fringes were everywhere on the international catwalks. "It works well on delicate features and long necks and is very versatile," says Shukeel. Think Katie Holmes' casual new cut: it's the fringe that frames the look. "Wear it down, pinned up in a quiff or just messed up with a little paste."

2. Short and sharpSince Victoria Beckham's distinct Pob made front pages last year, the bob has taken to the street by storm — and it's still a coveted catwalk look. "All kinds of bobs are still hot: short and long, textured or messy," says Shukeel. "Bobs suit any occasion and frame the face and jaw line." For a sleek look, straighten hair with a hot iron and finish with a shine spray. For more casual occasions, work a paste through the hair to add texture.

3. It's getting messyFor those addicted to their long locks, heave a sigh of relief: summer's carefree, feminine look is low maintenance. "Long hair is a little messier and more textured this season," says Shukeel. "A fringe is the key to this look — it frames the face, eyes and cheekbones." For the perfect "undone" do, apply mousse to the mid-lengths and ends, flip your hair over your head and blast with a hair dryer. Iron the fringe to keep it sleek.

4. Curly questionLong, luscious curls are also hot. "They should be worn soft and messy. Just think sexy beach hair, tousled and wavy." Use large tongs to create a casual curl through the mid-lengths to the ends, then tip your head upside down and give your locks a good shake. Finish with sea-salt spray for added texture.

5. Up, up, and awayPonytails aren't just for bad hair days — they can add instant elegance. Give the classic ponytail a modern twist by backcombing the fringe off the face. "This is such a great way to open up your face. It's simple, really easy to do and yet very elegant." Once you've backcombed, smooth the quiff with a brush and pin into place.
