SUMMER HAIRSTYLE IDEAS: 3 OF OUR FAVES

#1 BABE WAVES

I mean, what’s more summertime classic than some beachy waves? To create this soft wave pattern, Joseph uses Trademark Beauty’s Babe Waves Jumbo.

And, of course, a mermaid-y look like this is incomplete if it doesn’t glisten. To give this look the ultimate glow, Joseph finishes with a misting of Color Wow Extra Shine Spray.

#2 CURLS, CURLS, CURLS

If you’re a straight-hair girl looking to seriously change it up, this one is SO worth it. Fair warning, it’s quite time consuming, but if you’re not hosting, why not, right?? Joseph’s key tools for achieving such voluminous curls? Color Wow Style on Steroids Texturizing Spray (serious texture and volume is a must!) and a ½ inch curling iron to get those tight ringlets. For a softer finish, gently comb out your curls once they’ve cooled completely.

Psst… curly girls, we didn’t forget about you. For some oomph on your natural curls, use Dream Coat for Curly Hair, a one-and-done styler that’ll give you voluminous, defined, crunch-free, and frizz-free curls.

#3 FRENCH BRAIDED UPDO

Or, if you’re a fan of French braids, try this braided updo which requires exactly one extra step: flip the end of your braid up and pin it to the back of your head. Who said looking this good had to be hard?

Pro braid tips: To make braiding easier on yourself, Color Wow Pop & Lock Glossing Serum is a MUST. Apply it throughout your hair before braiding to give your strands grip for easy, flyaway-free braiding. Check out our Braid Aid page for more helpful braid stylers. Another tip: If you want to make your braids appear fuller, use the pancaking method to fatten each braid loop (learn more about braid pancaking here).

As the sun sets on another perfect summer day, your hair should still look as fabulous as when it began. These summer hairstyles not only keep you looking chic but also help you stay cool and comfortable.
