Hair Tips For the Summer



Pretty, polished ponies; voluminous, bouncy curves, and edgy, rock-n-roll crops comprise three of this summer's top trends in hairstyles, according to an art director of a leading hair fashion house. After assessing the fashion shows, notable international ad campaigns like LVMH and CK, and exorbitantly famous celebrities like Pink, he concludes, "Today's hairstyle cuts are always meant to be changed. Adapt them to your age, your hair type, your personal style. That, I believe is the right way to approach beauty."

Pin-Up Girl

40's pin-up models like Betty Grable struck the perfect balance between sex kitten allure and girl-next-door approachability, and that's the overall effect of this hair trend, says the artist. Start with soft body, created with a classic rollers, then brush through with a firm brush to loosen the curls. Next, gently pull the top portion of the hair to the top of the head and secure loosely with plenty of volume on top. "This look should be interpreted casually," notes the hair stylist, "otherwise it can look a bit too retro."
Tip: Prep hair for roller sets with a hair care product that gives hair "grip" like Thermal Design Foam. "This hair care product is one of my favorites" says the artist. "It contains a mild setting agent that gives you control, but it also lets you manipulate and style the hair." If hair is fine and needs even more "bite," try Texture Spray. It's lightweight, so it won't cause fine strands to collapse, but it provides plenty of style support. "Feel free to layer it on," adds the artist, "if you need more style strength."

Summer's Breezy Up and Away Do

"Many runways shows this summer featuring simple looks", said the art director . "Especially when the hairstyle doesn't block the face," he says, "it instantly shows an innocent, young 'I had a great night's sleep' effect. Whenever I want to put some some pizazz to a hairstyle, I lift it off the face" Right now, he loves youthful, groomed ponies and buns, and what makes them particularly modern, he says, is the foundational texture. "Dry the hair so that it's smooth and polished, but with plenty of body and bounce," he advises. "Velcro or heated rollers, or the K-PAK ReconstRx Vapor Iron will a smooth finish that's curved at the ends." Want to know another trendy touch? Use a small tail hair comb to create a deep side part before gathering up the hair. "Low side partings are sexy and strong!" he declares.
