Unveiling Summer Hair Trends: Style Meets Function

Choosing the right hairstyle and colour for summer is about striking a balance. You want a style that's easy to manage in the heat but also one that complements your summer wardrobe. Here's what to consider:

• Low-maintenance: Summer is for fun, not fussing over your hair. Opt for styles that are easy to recreate and require minimal effort.
• Heat-friendly: Avoid styles that require a lot of heat styling, which can damage your hair.
• Moisture protection: Sun exposure and pool dips can dry out your hair. Look for styles that can withstand the elements.

Trendy Summer Hairstyles: Effortless And On The Go

1. Beachy Waves:

The epitome of summer hair, beachy waves are effortlessly chic and perfect for adding texture and volume. They work on all hair lengths and textures, instantly creating a relaxed, sun-kissed look.

Why it's perfect for summer: Beachy waves are low-maintenance and air-dry friendly. They can be dressed up or down, making them ideal for any summer occasion.

Tips for achieving beachy waves:

• Apply an organic texturising spray to damp hair.
• Braid or twist damp sections and let them air dry.
• If you want to use heat: Use a curling iron to create loose waves, scrunching them for a more natural look. Don’t overdo it, as heat can damage hair.

2. Braids And Braided Updos:

Braids are a timeless summer hairstyle for a reason. They're practical, keep your hair off your face in the heat, and can be surprisingly versatile. From classic French braids to intricate fishtails, there's a braid for everyone.

Benefits of braids in hot weather: Braids keep hair cool and manageable, preventing frizz and tangles. They're perfect for a day at the beach or a night out on the town.

Step-by-step guide for a braided updo:

1. Start with a high ponytail and braid it down to the ends.
2. Wrap the braid around the base of the ponytail and secure it with bobby pins.
3. Loosen the braid slightly for a more relaxed look.

3. Short And Chic Haircuts:

Embrace the heat with a short haircut! Whether you go for a playful pixie, a sleek bob, or a trendy lob, short hair is perfect for keeping cool and requires minimal styling.

Short hair helps keep cool: It means less heat retention, keeping you comfortable on hot days.

Styling tips for short hair:

• Use a texturising spray for a tousled, beachy look.
• Apply a shine serum for a sleek, polished finish.
• Add headbands or hair clips for a touch of personality.

Must-Try Summer Hair Colours

1. Sun-Kissed Balayage:

For a natural, sun-kissed look, balayage is the perfect choice. This highlighting technique creates lightened strands that blend seamlessly with your base colour.

Why balayage is a summer favourite: Balayage offers a natural, low-maintenance way to add dimension and warmth to your hair. It's perfect for mimicking sun-kissed highlights.

Maintenance tips for balayage hair:

• Use an organic, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to prevent fading.
• Deeply condition your hair regularly to keep it hydrated.
• Get trims every 6-8 weeks to maintain healthy ends.

2. Bold Colours

Feeling adventurous? Summer is the perfect time to experiment with bold hair colours. From fiery reds to vibrant coppers and deep brunettes, there's a shade out there to match your personality.

Choosing the Right Hue for Your Skin Tone:

When selecting a bold colour, consider your skin tone to ensure a harmonious look. Here's a breakdown to help you find your perfect match:

Cool Skin Tones: Do your veins appear blue or greenish when you peek at your wrist? If so, you likely have cool undertones in your skin. This means cool-toned hair colours will flatter you the most. These shades will pick up on the pink or rosy undertones in your complexion, creating a cohesive and radiant overall look.

Warm Skin Tones: If your veins appear greenish and your skin tends to tan easily, you likely have warm undertones. Warm-toned hair colours will be your best friend. Reds, coppers, and golden blondes will beautifully complement the golden or yellow undertones in your skin. These shades will enhance your natural warmth and create a truly summer-kissed effect.

3. Natural Highlights And Lowlights:

Don't want to stray too far from your natural colour? Natural highlights and lowlights are a subtle way to add dimension and enhance your existing hair colour.

Difference between highlights and lowlights: Highlights lighten strands of hair, while lowlights add darker tones for depth and contrast.

Subtle ways to enhance natural hair colour:

• Highlights can mimic sun-kissed hair without a dramatic change.
• Lowlights can add richness and dimension to brunette hair or create a brunette balayage effect.

Techniques for low-maintenance highlights:

• Balayage is a great option for low-maintenance highlights, as the grown-out roots are less noticeable.
• Ombre highlights, where the hair colour gradually gets lighter towards the ends, are another low-maintenance option.
