Must-Try Styles
From the slick, swinging tennis ponytails
seen at Nicole Farhi to the loose, post-yoga braid at Ashish, this summer’s
hottest looks all had a sporty spin. To get the look, start by running Bumble
and Bumble bb. Texture Creme, $32.5, mixed with a dad of Mark Hill Cover Up!
Protection Spray, $8.99, through your hair once it’s dry to create a mussed-up,
beachy vibe.

‘Brush hair into a sleek pony and tong
small sections to create some wave-swept movement, before pulling out baby
hairs to look like you’ve just come back from a beach run,’ says stylish, Neil
Moodie. Rub a tiny blob of new L’Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Sublime
Hair Enhancer, $14.99, along your hairline to stop flyaways – its hydrating
lotus oil will also protect your hair. Then take a tip from our shoot and wrap
Accessorize Towelling Bands, $4.5 for 5, around your pony. An oversized floppy
hat à la DKNY will look cute over a low-slung braid – or channel Mulberry and
put an athletic spin on your high summer pony with ASOS Colour Block Straw
Visor, $22.5.

The One-Minute Colour Trick
It’s the copper sulphate used in pools
that’s the culprit in giving blonde hair that greenish tinge and making
brunette locks look dull. The easiest damage limitation? Rinse hair in soda
water, (the carbonation helps break up the chemicals more quickly) the second
you emerge from the pool. Then take Josh Wood’s advice to ‘treat summer hair
like cashmere’ with Wella SP After Sun Care Shampoo, $18.9, and Conditioner,
$21.9, which gently cleanse hair of salt and chlorine residue, and restore moisture
levels to leave it soft and silky. If a dip in the sea has left your hair
matted, spritz Unite 7 Seconds Conditioner, $7.5, all over and comb through
with the travel-size Tangle Teezer Compact, $18.5. And if you’re tempted to use
the lemon juice trick to lighten up your hair, Josh stresses says that while
it’s fine for natural blondes, brunettes should steer clear.

No time to shampoo after a day on the
beach? If your sunscreen has left your hair greasy, dust a sprinkling of new
Redken Powder Refresh 01, $23.5, into the roots. Not only with it absorb excess
oil, it’ll give your hair a bit of volume, too. Undo your daytime braid and
spritz on Percy & Reed Wonderfully Wavy Texturizing Spray, $21, for a
two-second way to create gently cascading waves – or try the braided style as
demonstrated by our model, and add texture to your lengths with L’Oréal
Professionnel Techni.Art Gloss Control, $15.5. Simply rub two teaspoons of this
clever fixer between your fingertips and run it through your hair, from ear
height downwards, to de-frizz and add shine. And for a look that lasts,
‘Backcomb roots to add lift and spritz through a fine layer of hairspray, so
your hair doesn’t fall flat over the course of the night,’ advises catwalk
stylish, Luke Hersheson. Need an uber-sophisticated, after-dark party look?
Take your cue from the tousled, post-workout twist seen at Christopher Kane.
‘Creat a side parting and draw your hair back to just under the bulge at the
back of your head. Split t into two sections and tie these in a double knot,’
says Luke. Secure these along the nape with grips and leave the ends free to
seal the deal on stylish, blissed-out summer hair!
