When the sun stays out for just that little while longer and days start to warm up, there’s nothing like shaking up your locks with a brand new look (or five). Whether you’re looking for some new look inspiration or a sassy new style to try, we’ve got you. Here’s what summer really means for your hair.

Highlights

Going to the dark side for winter is always healthy for your hair, but when the sun comes back out, all we can think about is lightening things up a little. If you’re dying for a new colour, why not opt for a few free style highlights to give you that gorgeous summer sun-kissed look? Complete with a fresh-off-the-plane tan and fab summer fashion, it’s the perfect ‘do to get in the summer spirit with.

Beach Waves

Every girl loves a curl, but when summer’s firmly in swing, nothing beats a beach wave. Long, loose and oh so relaxed, they’re the perfect kind of curl to style out for summer. If you’re not blessed with any kind of natural wave, don’t worry – the Babyliss Waver will do all of the work! When the waves are in place, just spritz with a little Sea Salt Spray, scrunch and go.

Boho Plaits

Braids are the bomb when it comes to summer. They’re cool for the gym and on any casual hair day any time of year, but they always come alive when the weather gets warmer. Instead of Frenching them, try to go with more boho vibes. The messier the better! Let a few strands hang lose for the ultimate summer style.

Conditioner

From colouring to styling to a little taking care, we’ve got to talk conditioner. After a super cold winter and endless styling tool abuse, your hair is going to need a little love this summer. Once at week (or sooner if needed), make sure you lather on a Hydrating Hair Mask to get your hair back to its natural glory.

Glitter Roots

If you’re planning on popping to any festivals this summer, you might be on the lookout for something a little more sassy. Beach waves and braids might still be your thing, but if you want to ride them out with a lot more style, you’ve got to add glitter. Glitter roots are everywhere right now, so make sure you pick up a little and get decorating. Your selfies will never look so good!
