With the summer season in full swing, infuse goodness into your day by spending less time fussing with your hair and more time outdoors having fun in the sun.
For flawless summer styles that will have you out the door in minutes, Jenny Cho and Marcus Francis, celebrity stylists with Suave Professionals, shared their quick and easy styling secrets to looking and feeling good all summer long.
Boho braid for beach bumming: A boho-chic braid is the perfect look for a day at the beach while soaking up some sun. Start by misting hair wiht a light oil spray to add weightless hydration. Next, "Sweep hair to one side, divide into three sections and loosely braid, pulling out a few front pieces for an effortless summer style," says Cho.
Top knot bun for dancing fun: Get your groove on without hair getting in the way. Francis recommends rocking a trendy top knot when dancing the night away. First, work a straightening leave-in cream from mid-shaft to ends of damp hair before blow-drying. "When hair is completely dry, brush upward, smooth any bumps and tie into a tight ponytail on top of your head," says Francis. "Backcomb the ponytail for added volume and finish by wrapping strands around the elastic in a circular motion, securing with pins."
Au naturale strands for any summer soiree: Flaunt natural locks with a boost of volume for a day-to-night look. "Because of the summer humidity, now is the time to embrace your natural texture," says Cho. Use a leave-in foam from root to tip for added body.
