Trend Alert 🚨: Easy, Summer Time Breezy
Mid-summer is a time to kick back, relax and take a beach day (or several). It's also typically the hottest time of the year when we're all just trying to keep cool. But even when the heat is on, we still want to look good, so when high temps and humidity start to wreak havoc on your daily hair routine, instead of trying to battle the elements, why not just roll with them? Adopt one of these easy summer hair styles and the rest of your summer will be a breeze.
90s-inspired layers are gaining popularity and they're the perfect way to take weight off your hair without sacrificing length. Think a modern-spin on Jennifer Aniston's iconic “Rachel” cut: hair stays one length until it hits around the chin, where shaggy layers are carved in down to the ends. Curl the layers inward for a more retro look and use Lisap Ultimate Straight Fluid- Heat and Humidity Protective Spray to keep those layers smooth and frizz-free.
If you've got long hair that you don't want to cut at all, then try a high pony. The key to perfecting this sleek look is glossy locks with no flyaways. Use a serum, oil or cream to smooth away any frizzies and a de-tangling brush to eliminate knots. (Lisaplex Bond Saver Lamellar Water can also help reduce tangles and add shine.) Carefully smooth hair down as you pull it up through an elastic band.
With the fashion world declaring the return of “boho chic”, the bohemian spirit is also being channeled through summer hair trends. For a relaxed, low-maintenance look, go for a loose, low braid. In this breezy look, the actual braiding doesn't start until the nape of the neck, with little pieces of hair casually falling out here and there. Use a texture spray or pomade (like Dandy Cream Pomade) to create some definition. The overall vibe should be casual and effortless.
Bobs have never gone away, but this year they're inescapable. The latest version that will keep you looking and feeling cool is blunt cut and chin-length, piece-y with ends that flip out ever so slightly. You can part it down the center or deep to the side, but skip the bangs; they can make you sweaty in the heat. This perfectly imperfect look can even go an extra day or two without washing, especially if you give your locks a quick spray of Lisaplex Dry Shampoo.
