Luxe Blowouts

Expensive-looking blowouts are still hot on our radar going into summer. “It’s perfect for patio drinks with the girls and is a classic staple that will never go out of style,” says pro stylist and salon owner Taya Tkachuk. “To get the look, I love using 7SECONDS BlowOut Creme for a perfect, long-lasting blowout style.”

Layers & Curtain Bangs

Layers are an easy way to add airy texture, movement, and shape to your overall style, and pro stylist Christina Weber agrees. “I love this look for summer because bouncy, full blowouts with tons of layers are so sexy, effortless, and reminds me of Rachel Green.” To get the look, Christina prepped damp hair with 7SECONDS Detangler and U Oil for moisture, shine, and protection. After blowing out the hair, she used the flexible-hold Le:Play Hairspray to set the style, but still allow natural movement.

Udone Braids

Undone braids strike the perfect balance between effortlessly cool and polished, making them a go-to summer hairstyle. With soft texture and a lightly loose braid gives off the breezy, put-together vibe that works from beach days to backyard dinners. “This simple, boho chic style is the perfect effortless look while keeping yourself cool from the summer heat. Dress it down at the beach or dress it up from GNO. I love using EXPANDA Dust for instant texture and grip to keep the braid fluffy but held in place,” says pro stylist and salon owner Taya Tkachuk.

Bouncy Definition

Give off major goddess energy with these voluminous, sculpted curls and radiant shine. This look is the perfect combination of bold and effortless, making it ideal for everything from beachside celebrations to rooftop soirees. “I love this fun, sexy vacation hair for summer. It will last you and will only look better as the days go by,” says pro stylist Paul David. To get the look, Paul used 7SECONDS Detangler to prep and SMOOTH&SHINE Styling Cream to control frizz, seal dried ends, and add a healthy-looking shine to the hair.

Chic Bobs

Chic bobs will have a major moment this summer, channeling quiet luxury and undeniably fresh. This chin-length cut is timeless, versatile, and perfect for those looking to make a bold chop to simplify their summer hairstyling routine. “It’s undone and screams beachy, perfect for the chic cool-girl who wants to look effortless ocean-side,” says pro stylist Taya Tkachuk. “To get the look, use TEXTURIZA Spray for the perfect, undone texture and definition.”

Beachy Texture

This Summer, surfer girl hair is making waves for its effortlessly cool and carefree aesthetic. Whether you can pull this lived-in look off with your natural texture, or need a little help with hot tools, it’s all about product application and styling technique. Pro stylist and salon owner Tyler Mascio, who specializes in California-inspired hair says, “lived-in hair is all about embracing natural texture and movement. It’s the art of creating hair that looks effortlessly tousled, as if you’ve spent the day by the ocean.” “To get the look, apply BEACH Day to damp hair before air drying or diffusing. IT imparts a natural, beachy feel, enhancing the lived-in look. Once the hair is dry, use a flat iron to create subtle bends by twisting the wrist slightly as you glide down the hair shaft. Then, finish with TEXTURIZA Spray. This dry finishing spray adds volumes and texture, perfect for achieving that tousled, lived-in appearance. I spray it on dry hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths, the tousle with my fingers for a natural finish,” says Tyler.
