Textured Pixie Cut
The look: The pixie haircut is still on trend and is the perfect no-fuss look of the season. The textured pixie is kept soft and feminine with a slight edge. Hair has slightly ragged edges with long wispy bangs that follow that wispy edge up and around the ears. Hair is cut short around the ears but left slightly longer and soft around the rest of the head. Short layers at the crown help add shape and volume.
The tip: When hair is dry, grab your favourite pomade or wax hair product and pinch the ends of bangs and sideburns to create a pointed/piecey look. Use more product to rough up the crown to create shape and volume.
Extreme side partings
The look: Get the 1930s-inspired comb-over that looks super-sexy and oozes confidence. We’re not looking for something just off-centre– this is the extreme makeover version of a side parted style. Let your hair do the talking with a clean and classic, super straight side parting.
The tip: Use the end of your eyebrow as a guide, and then flick your hair to the adjacent side. Finish with the Kérastase Laque Couture for that extra radiance.
Twisted up-dos
The look: Forgo the bun this season, and instead opt for twisted up-dos, with lackadaisical flyaway textures. The style is perfect for a romantic yet playful evening look.
The tip: The style works best on hair that is washed a day before. To help your updo stay up, start by curling your hair with a curling iron. Spritz it with a hairspray before working on the style.
Messy Bob
The look: This hairdo is fun and flirty, with choppy layers and loads of texture. It’s also a low maintenance hairstyle, allowing your hair the freedom to take on its natural texture. The goal is to keep the movement in the hair so that it does not lie flat.
The tip: To style a layered, messy, short bob and achieve that out out-of-bed look, apply gel to towel-dried and then blow-dry with a round brush. A wax is applied to the ends to create a textured look.
Bohemian Milkmaid Braid
The look: The milkmaid braid is perfect for the summers. Aside from being utterly cute, this style is extremely versatile and fun. The bohemian milkmaid braid, with its slim silhouette and head-wrapping elegance is a celebrity favorite too. The style works just as well with a pair of jeans as it does with a cocktail dress.
The tip: The trick is to make sure it is slightly messy. If the coif is too perfect, it ruins the effect of the relaxed, effortless boho style.
Hair accessories
The fast-track to pretty summer hair? Hair accessory of course! From gorgeous tiara inspired headbands and sparkly Grecian headbands to pretty floral ones that are synonymous with summer fun – pick any for that effortlessly chic look. A simple bow will also add heaps of feminine fun to your look.
