For two seasons, braids have ruled the catwalks around the world. They still show no sign of budging. However, hair experts have constantly kept reinventing and re-interpreting this trend in myriad ways. This style here is a combination of a braid and a topknot. Talk about combining two of summer’s favourite trends!
Prep
Comb the hair out with a brush that has natural bristles. This will give the hair a natural bounce and volume. This look works best on pre-washed hair. Wash it with TRESemmé Smooth & Shine Shampoo. You can even use some texturising product.
Style
Make your client flip her hair, as the braid needs to be done bottom to top. Brush the hair neatly and start doing a French braid from the bottom. If your client has thick hair or wants a thicker braid, divide the hair into chunkier sections. Braid till just below the crown (or at a three-finger width from the ear). Tie the braid and the rest of the hair at the crown into a ponytail. Then, braid the ponytail as well, twist and tie it into a topknot. Secure this with U pins and bobby pins.
Set
Keep the look in place with a light holding spray.
“This style is very modern and will be right at home on a runway or the streets. It’s stylish and practical at the same time. If some clients find it too edgy, you can try different variations—a regular topknot, a bopknot or without the braid itself.”
– Dimitra Altani
Taking a break from all that texture, a sleek, glossy ponytail with a deep side-parting is great for those balmy evenings. The only catch is, you will need to use a styling cream (a lot of it) to style the client’s hair. This is a crisp, simple style that gets its edginess from a whole lot of styling products.
Prep Wash hair withTRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner. Blow-dry it straight using some styling mousse, gel or cream. Then, run a smoothening cream through the strands to tame the frizz and flyaways. Add a dose of gloss or a shine spray.
Style Comb the hair with the product on with a fine-toothed comb, and do a deep side-parting. Make sure the parting is above the brow arch, as this creates a beautiful balance on the face. Then, tie the hair neatly into a low ponytail with an elastic. Iron the ponytail after dividing it into small sections using a straightening iron. Take a small section and wrap it around the base of the ponytail to hide the elastic. This will completely cut the frizz out, and the heat from the iron will seal the product in.
SetFinish off with some shine gel and spray.
“The glossiness comes from the product, so make sure that it is visible on the hair. That doesn’t mean it should look greasy or oily. This versatile style is perfect for any formal occasion and is not that time consuming. Also, the products on the hair will keep the hair from getting frizzy.”
An easier take on a halo braid, this one embodies the prettiness of all things summer. Recommend it to your clients for a backyard lunch or dinner, a date night or for a trip to the beach. This updo will highlight your clients’ features and keep the hair off their napes in a stylish way.
Prep
Wash hair with TRESemmé Split Remedy Shampoo. Then, use a texturisng product to create some bounce.
Style
Divide the hair into two sections with a centre-parting from top to bottom. Then do a regular braid on each side, and bring the braids to the crown. Secure the first braid in its place with bobby pins. Overlap the other braid and secure it with pins as well. Hide the ends of each braid under each other, behind the ear.
Set
Use a mild holding spray, as a few loose strands only add to the untamed beauty of this updo.
“Stylish and flirty, this feminine hairstyle is gorgeous and doesn’t look overdone. I feel that this look works no matter what the season. It works on someone with medium-length hair. Unstructured texture is ideal for it as that adds softness to the entire look.”
