12:55 am	Hair Tips For the Summer Pretty, polished ponies; voluminous, bouncy curves, and edgy, rock-n-roll crops make up three of the summer's top fashion trends in hairstyles, according to a celebrated hair stylist. After assessing the fashion shows in Paris, notable international ad campaigns like Gucci and Chanel, and extremely famous celebrities like Rihanna, he concludes, "Today's hairstyle cuts are always meant to be changed. Adapt them to your style, hair type, and age. That, I believe is the right way to approach beauty." Summer's Breezy Up and Away Do "Many runways right now featuring stylish yet simple cuts", said the art director . "Especially when the hairdo doesn't cover too much of the face," he says, "it quickly creates a fresh, young, youthful, 'I slept well' effect. Whenever I want to inject some spark to a hairstyle, I lift it off the face" Right now, 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. Want to know another trendy touch? Use a small tail comb to create a deep side part before gathering up the hair. "Low parts off to the side are totally hot right now", he declares. Hair Tip: Tame flyaways with K-PAK Protect & Shine Serum or Smoothing Balm, followed by K-PAK Protective Hairspray hair care products. Rub the serum or balm into palms and run your hands lightly over the hair. Pin-Up Girl Forties pin-up models had the perfect balance between sex appeal 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: prepare hair for roller sets with a hair product that gives hair "grip" like 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." What else is there to do? Well, there is always preparing for winter! Check back next time for more tips and tricks from the beauty experts. (Comment on this)
