Summer styles have the ability to be glamorous while also feeling effortlessly carefree. Whether you're choosing a style to match your outfit or your mood, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite looks you can easily recreate this season.

Glitter Hair

 

Thanks to the festival and concert season (we see you, Swifties!) that commences during summer, there are constantly new and exciting ways to add a little sparkle to our look. In this tutorial Max Sculpting Gel proves its staying power — choose from glitter, gems or pearls, we love every iteration. To get the look, Max Sculpting Gel is a must.

  • Prep the hair with a smooth blowout or added waves.
  • Section our the front face frame section on each side, comb and secure at the nape of the neck with a hair tie.
  • Choose your accessory of choice (gems/pearls etc.) and apply Max Sculpting Gel to each gem and then stick on to the hair.

Gray Blending

 

Clients are increasingly looking for creative ways to work with their growing grays instead of completely covering them. From adding Shades EQ Bonder Inside to add strength, condition and shine to weaving Color Gels Oils to create contrast and a perfect blend. We love the way @girlorgun added depth, brightness and a touch of color to her clients' grays to create a low-maintenance look using Redken Color Gels Oils — an ammonia-free, silicon-free, and fragrance-free liquid permanent color that can provide up to 100% gray courage while achieving the same shine and condition Redken is known for.

Undone Waves

 

 

Waves have always been the official style of summer and whether you’re creating a beachy or glamorous finish, heat protection is a must! The elements of summer (heat, sun, exposure to chlorine and salt water) leave hair in a sensitive state, which is why heat protection + bond builders are essential. To get the most out of your style, prep hair with Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment to not only protect against hot tools up to 450F but the pH balancing formula also fortifies weak bonds, prevents breakage, and strengthens the hair for 56% less breakage*, 82% less visible split ends** and11x smoother hair**.

Smooth & Sleek

 

For the days when you want to switch up your style — smooth and sleek is our favorite go-to. To cut down on damage apply a leave-in like One United or Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment and allow to air-dry. Then comb through and straighten with a flat iron and finish with Frizz Dismiss Anti-Static Oil Mist to lock your style into place, tame flyaways, static, and add a touch of shine!
