Poolside Pretty

If you have relaxed hair, add a little Jane Carter Condition & Sculpt setting lotion and twist your hair in several two-strand twists from the hairline to the nape of the neck before taking a dip. Once you’re out of the water, let your hair air-dry before removing the twists.

Making the Braid

Prevent breakage by letting your stylist know if braids are too tight. Be sure to keep plaits conditioned and hydrated with Dr. Miracle’s Braid Relief Spray.

Loosen Up

If your locks aren’t naturally curly, you can achieve a similar look with a roller set. Be creative and use plastic drinking straws or flexible rods to create curls. Nexxus Silken Smoothing Conditioner adds moisture and fights frizz.

Pretty Pony

Ponytails are instant glamorizers. The difference between the perfect ponytail and a “phony” tail is the texture and the color you select.

A Long Bob

Give lengthy tresses shape with a blunt cut. Sharp bangs instantly add life to cimply styled hair. Use the i/m Beauty Nylon Paddle Brush and dab on Soft & Beautiful Moisturizing Complex to keep flyaways grounded for good.

Sleek Layers

Give this low-maintenance style edge by shaping and adding precise layers. Keep strands smooth and frizz-free with Samy Salon Systems Smooth Leave-in Conditioner.

Curl Power

To get this look, replenish curls with Phytospecific Instant Booster and Energizer, then apply to wet hair before twisting it into small sections around your index finger.

Turn It Up

Curl hair at various angles with a flat iron to re-create this choppy texture, then add Aussie Dual Personality Anti-Frizz Cream + Leave-In Conditioner so frizz won’t get the best of you.
