From flirty curls to beach-blown waves, the season’s hair trends are all about texture, movement and youth.

GONE WITH THE WIND
Embrace your natural hair texture by skipping the blow-dryer and letting your locks air dry. All you need is a moisturising serum to help seal your hair cuticles and keep them soft and smooth. Apply a dollop directly onto the mid-length of your hair between your roots and ends, using a fine-toothed comb to ensure that the serum is evenly distributed.
VA-VA-VOOM VOLUME
Frizz isn’t the only thing that humidity worsens; fine hair falls victim to its whims too. Dry shampoos are a great way to refresh your scalp while giving limp locks a root lift. Or, consider including a thickening scalp tonic into your regimen to help normalise sebum and moisture levels while supporting fuller hair growth.
FRINGE BENEFITS
Take your cue from the fall/winter 2016 shows and opt for some fringe action. If you have a long face shape, a blunt cut can help balance out your features, drawing attention to your eyes. Or opt for a side-swept style for an illusion of a slimmer face.
FRIZZ WHIZZ
Pesky flyaways and uncontrollable frizz can be a nightmare if you have naturally coarse hair. But instead of valiantly trying to attain smooth and sleek locks, why not work with what you’ve got? Take a tough, rock-chick approach by spritzing a texturising spray liberally throughout your hair. This roughens up its texture, giving it a tousled, just-out-of-bed vibe.
MAKE WAVES
If you have naturally straight tresses, enhance your mane by adding soft waves at the ends using a large round brush when blow-drying your hair, or a wide-barrelled curling iron for longer-lasting results. Always use a thermal-protection product before heat-styling your hair and finish with a shine spray for added lustre.
