From Chloe’s cascading waves to Gucci’s posh ponytails, easy, breezy fashion requires equally as effortless hair. Here are some of our favourite summer hair styles.
The look: Chloé's loose, casual waves
How to get it: “How to get this look depends on what kind of hair you have,” says Schwarzkopf’s Kathy Simon. “If you have natural waves, all you have to do is wash your hair and apply a soft, creamy volumizing product.”
If, however, your hair is super straight, you’ve got a bit more work in store. Apply a soft mousse or bodifying product to your hair. Then using a thick curling iron (a two to 2.5-inch barrel will work best), take thick sections of hair and starting at the middle of your length of hair, work the hair around the barrel vertically (Avoid both starting at the crown and working your hair horizontally – doing either of these will result in a tighter curl than you’re aiming for).
Finish with a soft hairspray, and throughout the day, make sure to work your hands through your hair regularly, as the curl will rewrap itself, says Simon.
