How To Create an Iconic Summer Style

There’s a mix of ease and excitement that fills the air when the temps begin to rise. And as you anticipate days spent soaking up a summer glow, figuring out an iconic hairstyle to wear is right up there with needing a pedicure this season. From adding a few must-have stylers to picking up expert tips, we’re diving into the ease of how to create an iconic summer style.

Summer styling should be a blend of glamour and simplicity. Echoing everything we love most about this season, there are two styles that stand out — the iconic beach wave and a smooth, yet voluminous blow dry. Consider your summer style sorted with these two hairstyles in your repertoire.

There’s the classic beach wave and then there’s your classic beach wave. One can be created with heat and the other with a spritz and a scrunch — either way it’s all about texture so whichever you choose, start by stocking your beauty cabinet with HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY.

The beach, bottled — this spray can be applied to both damp and dry hair to create the soft movement and beachy texture you’re after.   

• If you already have a bit of wave to your hair, after prepping hair with the shampoo and conditioner of your choice, comb through hair with a wide-toothed TEXTURE.COMB and then spray HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY throughout your strands.  
• If encouragement is needed, use your hands to scrunch the product to promote more waves. From here you can air-dry or use a diffuser to add more volume.  
• To add more texture and hold or simply to refresh your style, you can also apply HAIR.RESORT.SPRAY to dry hair for weightless hold.

While we love the uncomplicated feel of beach waves, there are some days when you want a polished look to set your style apart. Whether you’re creating a smooth finish or adding bounce and curl, ANTI.GRAVITY.SPRAY is the perfect way to finish any blow-dry with volume and hold.  

As a weightless hairspray, this formula was designed to create bouncy volume while holding your style in place with gorgeous shine.  

• Prep hair with BLOW.DRY WASH + BLOW.DRY RINSE in the shower and then add a layer of HEATED.DEFENSE to lock in heat protection. 
• For big, bouncy results, add EVER.BOUNCE to your hair and comb through before sectioning the hair and drying with a round brush and blow dryer.  
• Once dry, you can spritz the hair with ANT.GRAVITY.SPRAY and allow to cool in a pin curl for added movement, or simply spray all over and brush through for epic results.
