Summer + Hair = Fabulosity

Summer's coming! And yes, all the hair dramas regarding the hot weather and the humid days would appear. But not to worry, here are some hair styles that you at home can do to maintain your summer hair cool while having fun under the sun :)

The Classic Twisted Bun.


This hair style is easy to achieve and is recommended if you want a no fuss quick fix in the morning. It is a celeb favorite because it adds glamour and sophistication to any look.


The following are the steps needed to achieve this chic style:
  1. Finger comb the front of your hair, gathering the rest into a ponytail at the back of your head.
  2. Hold the ponytail with your left hand then using your right, twist your hair to the end.
  3. Wrap and twist the loose end until you have reached the tip.
  4. Use hair pins to secure your hair.
  5. Leave little strands of hair and/or pull out some at the front of your face for a softer look.

Loose Waves.



 This is my favorite hair style as it resembles the beach babe persona. Its cool, fun and light.

The following are the steps needed to achieve this chic style:
  1. Style your hair the way you normally would then add a styling mousse or a texturizing spray to your hair prior to the styling.
  2. Section your hair into equal pieces and secure them with clips.
  3. Always begin at the base of your hair then to the crown.
  4. Using a large barreled curling iron on low heat, take one section and place the end of your curl near the handle of the iron. Do not open the clip of the iron; simply and loosely wrap the entire section around the outside of the barrel, making sure to overlap the end so it will stay.
  5. Hold the hair for about 2 minutes, then gently remove it from the curling iron.
  6. You then repeat this step for every section.
  7. Don't use a brush or a comb to separate out the curls as this can destroy the style. Use your fingers to gently separate the hair from each other. Toss your hair while spritzing hairsrpay evenly along the strands.

Sleek and Long.




This hairstyle is perfect for long thick hair as it will make your hair look nice and healthy. It is easy to do and would not take your whole morning to achieve.

  1. Before straightening your hair, apply  heat protection to prevent damage to your locks.
  2. Put your hair into even sections.
  3. Straighten sectioned hair.
  4. Repeat this step to every section.
  5. Spritz shining serum then repeat step 3.
  6. Et voila! Your hair is shiny and straight.
Hope you enjoy,
