Summer Hair: How to Get Great Looks

"Summer is a time when heat and humidity can really take a toll on your style. Regardless of how you choose to style your hair, whether it’s curly or straight, it’s important to use the right products to keep your hair sleek and healthy," says Harry Josh, creative consultant for the John Frieda Collection. "Follow my tips below and you'll be able to get the same salon results at home this summer."

Start with a shampoo and conditioner that helps block out moisture and keeps your style intact like the Weather Works by Frizz-Ease Weather-Proofing Shampoo and Conditioner from the John Frieda Collection. This shampoo and conditioner adds a protective barrier to the hair that will shield out unwanted moisture and lock in the needed moisture so that your hair stays healthy and shiny. It also protects from UV rays that can damage hair. From there, you can style your hair as you choose and feel confident that your style will last throughout your summer activities.

Tips to Style Curly Hair:

Once hair is toweled dry, I applied a dime-size amount of the Weather Works by Frizz-Ease Weather-Proofing Style Sealent Crème from root to end to help control the frizz and make hair more manageable.

Next, I blow-dried her hair, wrapping pieces around my fingers to give it a natural curl.

Now that her hair is completely dry, I’m going to rub a small amount of John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Serum between my palms and apply it to the ends. This product is perfect to add instant shine and a finishing touch to your style. The result is healthy looking with an ultrashiny finish.

Also, if you’re a blonde, try spraying a bit of the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Tousled Tresses Fine Mist Wax for the perfect undone look.

If you’re a brunette wearing this style, add a small amount of John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Shock Perfecting Glosser to add extra shine and illuminate the brown tones.

Tips to Style Straight Hair:

For this style, I applied a small amount of the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Serum onto the hair when it was wet to protect hair from damage caused by blow-drying and using a flat iron. Then I blow-dried the hair with a large, round brush.

Especially during the summer, hair can really lack luster and become dry. Applying a bit of the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Crème is the key to instantly transforming puffy, parched hair into ultrashiny, soft hair. Take a dime-size amount and run it through the hair from root to end for a smooth, supple look.

If you’re a brunette, try the John Frieda Satin Shine Finishing Crème. It leaves hair silky without making it greasy.

If you’re a blonde, try substituting the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Serum for the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Spotlight Sleek & Shine Detangler, concentrating on the ends of hair. This will add a layer of shimmer and illuminate the highlights.
