Hairstyles to Celebrate the Season

Pretty, polished ponies; voluminous, bouncy curves, and edgy, rock-n-roll crop cuts make up three of the summer's top fashion hairstyle trends, according to an art director of a leading hair fashion house. After assessing the fashion shows in Tokyo and Milan, notable international ad campaigns like Gucci and Armani, and extremely famous celebrities like Rihanna, he says, "Today's hairstyle cuts are always meant to be changed. Adapt them to your style, hair type, and age. That, I think is the right way to approach beauty."

Pin-Up Girl

Forties pin-up models had the perfect balance between sexy cat-like allure and girl-next-door, and that's the overall effect of this hair trend, says the artist. Start with soft body, created with a handy roller set, then brush through with a firm brush to loosen the curls. Next, gently pull the top portion of the hair to the top of the head and secure loosely with plenty of volume on top.

Tip: Prep hair for roller sets with a professional hair product that gives hair "grip" like K-PAK Thermal Design Foam. "This product is one of my favorites" says the artist. "It contains a very good setting agent that gives you hold, but it also lets you style the hair." If hair is fine and needs even more "bite," try Texture Spray. It's lightweight, so it won't cause fine strands to collapse, but it provides plenty of style support. "Feel free to layer it on," adds the artist, "if you need more style strength."
Summer's Updo

"Many runways right now featuring simple looks", said the art director with hair pulled away from the face. "Especially when the hairstyle doesn't cover too much of the face," he says, "it instantly creates a fresh, young, youthful, 'I slept well' effect. Whenever I want to put some some pizazz to a hairstyle, I pull it away from the face." Currently, he loves youthful, groomed ponies and buns, and what makes them particularly modern, he says, is the foundational texture. "Dry the hair so that it's smooth and polished, but with plenty of body and bounce," he advises. "Velcro or heated rollers, or the K-PAK ReconstRx Vapor Iron will a smooth finish that's curved at the ends." Want to know another trendy touch? Use a tail comb to create a deep side part before gathering up the hair. "Low side partings are sexy and strong!" he declares.

Hair Tip: Tame summer flyaways with K-PAK Protect & Shine Serum or Smoothing Balm, followed by K-PAK Protective Hairspray. Rub the balm into your palms and run hands lightly over the hair.

Now that the serum is there, your hair will be so soft and manageable. Take a feel, I bet you will be suprised! For those of us that want to learn more about summer hair trends and summer hair fashions, I would suggest going to visit a hair salon training center. There are many in the USA, with some of the best in New York and Los Angeles.
