4 Ways to Style Your Hair This Summer: #MySassoonStyle Hair Makeover Giveaway

As a Sassoon Ambassador, I’ve been lucky enough to receive the care I needed to get my locks looking and feeling amazing these past two years. Though it has been a journey (to say the least), I am just so happy with how my hair has been looking lately!

With the help of the stylists at Sassoon Salon and my colourist John, not only have I given my hair the extra TLC needed to keep it healthy, but over time I have learned many tips and tricks to care for my hair specifically. From how to wash, brush and treat my hair, Sassoon has helped me fall back in love with my locks again. With that being said, nothing is better than leaving your hair in the right hands, and after visiting Sassoon each time, I know exactly what my hair needs: monthly treatments and occasional trims, while staying away from hot tools and boxed dyes which John advises are a big no-no!

Though I am taking in all of the tips from my friends at Sassoon, reviving your hair to get it nourished and healthy again can be a process. While I’ve been resting my hair, I’ve been swearing by a few of these go-to summer hairstyles that have really helped my hair growth and the quality of my locks:

Add Accessories

In the summer, the heat makes it difficult to resist the urge of washing your hair everyday, however, I find that my hair reacts well when I don’t wash it often. Of course, when your hair gets oily, it can be difficult to just have it styled down without noticing greasy roots and dry ends, but with the help of some cute hair accessories, nobody will even notice it!

Hair accessories like scrunchies, bows and stylish clips can give your mane a few more days without washing, while giving off that effortless/playful vibe that screams summer!

Go Au Naturel

Okay kids, this is a new one for me, but I’ve been loving my natural curly locks as of late. It is a great way to give your locks a break from hot tools or styling and it’s the perfect opportunity to really take the time to appreciate the locks you are born with! Whether you are born with pin straight hair, curly sue locks or wild waves, try different methods like sleeping with mini buns or a braid to give your hair the style without the damage!

Put A Hat On It

It’s pretty self explanatory, but the sun can dramatically dry up and damage your hair in the summertime. Give yourself another day from washing your locks and hide it from the sun by putting a hat on it! Big brimmed hats are so perfect for the summer also, so this is the ideal opportunity for you to rock a hat with a cute summer outfit.

Braid It

A braid is not only effortless, but ultra chic during the summer. After a few days of not washing your hair, opt for a braided hairstyle like a fishtail half up-do that will give you a polished look without having to use hot tools or over wash your hair! A braid like a box braid is also the perfect style to go from the gym to an afternoon hangout with friends!

So, since I can’t share enough love for my friends at Sassoon and even more so, what they’ve done for my locks, I wanted to share in on the fun! I’m offering Girls of T.O readers the chance to win a Sassoon Salon makeover valued at $350 so you can get a new look for the summer!
