    EFFORTLESS WAND CURLS

    Wand Curls for Summer

    As far as a hair curling routine goes, it doesn’t get any easier or more effortless than these wand curls. Simply wrap 2-inch sections of hair around your curling wand to recreate these stretched out S-shape curls. A quick mist of  TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Smooth Hold Level 2 will keep your curls smooth and locked into place all day long.

    TUCKED UP

    Tucked Up Braid for Summer

    This tucked-up braid look is one of our favorite styles to wear when we want to keep our hair off of our necks. Simply create two dutch braids and tuck the tails up into the bottom of the style to hide them. Think of this as the modern 2018 update to the classic halo braided style.

    TEXTURED UPDO

    Textured Updo for Summer

    Make your signature evening look for 2018 all about texture. Start off by spritzing your roots with a refreshing dry shampoo. We suggest using  TRESemmé Volumizing Dry Shampoo to give your strands a fresh start and to serve as a volumized and textured base for your style. Then gather your natural air-dried texture up into a loose bun at the back of your head. This style is appropriate for everything from a  summer wedding to a night barbecuing with friends at the beach.

    LOOSE AND WINDBLOWN

    Loose Braids for Summer

    Take advantage of windier days and use them to your advantage. Gather all your hair to one side of your head and create a loose and piecey braid. The more undone the braid becomes, the more you’ll embrace that bohemian vibe.

    NATURAL CURLS

    The overnight braided waves are arguably the easiest way to achieve the perfect summery wavy style. Sleep in two three-strand brands and wake up with a full head of easy waves. Once you’ve taken out the braids and combed through your waves with your fingers, mist them with  TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture Hold Level 1 to add even more texture to your style.

    WEAR IT SHORT

    Lob Bangs Hairstyle for Summer

    Make this the summer of short hair and rock a straight edged lob with a full set of piecey bangs.

    Learn your way around another method for creating heatless curls this summer and try the tried-and-true twisted overnight curls. Wash your hair and allow it to air-dry until it’s about 80 percent dry. Then wind it up into a low bun and twist the ends around the base. Pin it into place and head to sleep. You’ll wake up to long coils of effortless curls.

    BRUSHED-THROUGH CURLS

    Brushed Curls Summer Hairstyle

    Step one to creating a thick and beautiful head of curls is swapping out your usual shampoo and conditioner for a thickening variety. We suggest using  TRESemmé Thick & Full Shampoo and  TRESemmé Thick & Full Conditioner for a noticeably thicker head of hair.
    Once your hair has air-dried, use a curling iron to create tight curls all over the bottom half of your hair. Once they’ve cooled, you can carefully brush through them to create a more voluminous effect. Finish off your style with a misting of  TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Boost Hold Level 3.

    BLOWN OUT TO PERFECTION

    Make this the summer of mastering the perfect blowout, and wear your strands in a sleek and voluminous blowout all summer long.

    AIR-DRIED AND NATURAL

    Embrace your air-dried texture this summer and wear your hair natural all season long. Whether you’re traveling or staying put, there’s nothing easier than a wash-and-go hair care routine.

    THE ORIGINAL BEACH WAVE

    Beach Air Dried Curls Hairstyle for Summer

    The original beach wave is exactly what it sounds like: letting your hair air dry from the salt water at the ocean. We love the unique wave pattern our hair bends to after a day by the ocean and encourage you to embrace it too. If you’re looking to lock in that wave for a night out after a full day at the beach, spritz your waves with  TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Extend Hold Level 4 to hold them in place.
