Tired of your beachy waves falling flat? Try placing your curling iron closer to the top of the strand while leaving the ends out and curl sections of hair in alternate directions. “This causes waves to sit on top of each other, creating a cushion and extra fullness,” says Guilin.

“I love the asymmetrical bob for summer! You still get all the fun of slightly longer hair without all the added bulk hanging on your neck on a hot sticky day,” says hair stylist Holly Pistas. “It’s a great day-to-night cut especially during the busy summer months, the bob can be worn more polished for a professional setting or slightly messy for a fun night out.”

“This is a style one can make with naturally curly hair where the hair is being conditioned and a style is created at the same time,” says celebrity hair stylist Mark Garrison. Start with washed and towel dried hair then work your favourite leave-in conditioner through. Twist your curls into place and hold the curls in butterfly clips. Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser to speed up the process. When hair is dry, undo your curls, finger comb them, then flip your head upside down and shake out your curls. You’re all set with conditioned, gorgeous curls.

Here are 13 things your hairstyle could reveal about your personality.

To keep it looking natural, opt for highlights one to two shades lighter.

“Shades of blush are everywhere right now and will be making a splash this summer from pastel to peach,” colourist Michael Boychuck says. “This beautiful warm strawberry ‘bronde’ hair colour is achieved using classic, fine highlights, and non-ammonia ingredients to keep hair healthy.” Match this shade with your lip colour for an ultimate summer style, he says.
