Time to wave goodbye to winter
Summer holiday hair is soft, wavy and in beautiful condition. Stephanie Smith reports.
This summer is all about soft waves, on both long and short hair and the correct temperature is key. Unlike most hair irons, new Cloud Nines can be set to different temperatures to suit your hair type and style.
Here's how to get soft curls for medium/long hair: Fine hair, set to 125 degrees C, medium to thick hair, 175C. Section your hair. Starting at the nape of the neck, take a 3-4cm wide piece of hair. Place iron vertically at the root, give it a half turn, twisting it around your hair. Glide your hair through the iron. Remember to not hold iron too tightly. Continue this technique, moving up.
How to get soft curls for short hair: Fine hair set to 125 degrees C, medium/thick hair, 175C. Taking a horizontal section of hair at the nape of your neck, place your iron horizontally at the root. Lift hair with the iron so it is at a right angle. Twisting the iron, give it a half turn down, then gently pull it through your hair. This creates a large barrel curl. The Cloud Nine regular iron is 129.95 at www. cloudninehair.com and stockists on: 0845 026 7121.
Warning: This is awesome stuff. Salon Favouritz by Paul Bryan Hair Care is new to the UK this summer. It's easy to use and it really does give you big, shiny hair with lots of movement. The Awesome Styler is a blow-dry gel. You take a big dollop of it and move it through damp hair (it goes on foamy) and then style, for a fab, shiny, bouncy look. Very impressive. It is from.paulbryanhaircare.com.
Neal & Wolf is a new luxury, indulgence line combining opulence and science, having commissioned the perfume house responsible for some of the world's most famous scents to come up with its fragrance – a creamy, floriental composition. Check out Ritual Daily Shampoo, 10.95, from.nealandwolf.com.
