Pretty, polished ponies; voluminous, bouncy curves, and edgy, rock-n-roll short hairstyles make up three of the summer's top hairstyle trends, according to an art director of a leading hair fashion house. After going to the fashion shows, notable international ad campaigns like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, and high-impact celebrities like Rihanna and Pink, he concludes, "Today's hairstyle cuts are always meant to be changed. Adapt them to your at work and personal goals. That, I believe is the right way to approach beauty."

Summer's Breezy Up and Away Do

"Many runways shows this season featuring stylish yet simple cuts", said the celebrity hairstylist with hair pulled. "Especially when the hairstyle doesn't crowd the face," he says, "it instantly shows an innocent, young 'I had a great night's sleep' effect. Whenever I need to inject some some pizazz to a hairstyle, I pull it away from the face." Right now, he loves youthful, groomed ponies and buns, and what makes them particularly modern, he says, is the foundational texture. "Make sure the hair is dry so it looks polished and smooth with tons of bounce and body," he advises. Want to know another trendy touch? Use a tail hair 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 summer flyaways with K-PAK Protect & Shine Serum or Smoothing Balm, followed by K-PAK Protective Hairspray. Rub the serum into palms and run your hands lightly over the hair.

Pin-Up Girl

40's pin-up models had the perfect balance between sexy cat-like allure 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 like a Mason Pearson 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. "This look should be interpreted casually," notes the hair stylist, "otherwise it can look a bit too retro."
Tip: prepare hair for roller sets with a professional hair care product that gives hair "grip" like K-PAK Thermal Design Foam. "This product is one of my favorites" says the artist. "It contains a mild setting agent that gives you control, 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 shampoo and conditioner tips and tricks from the beauty experts.
