Summer 2010 Hairstyle Tips and Tricks

With the warm summer months quickly approaching, it’s all about ease, free-loving strands that stand against humidity. Below, Elie Gerdak, owner of the Elie Elie Salon in Tyson’s Corner, VA, shares what’s hot for summer 2010…

“Summer is all about healthy locks that defy humidity and thrill! Whether you’re headed to the beach or for a night out on the town, your hairstyle should emulate the upcoming trends – curls and volume!”

* Treat yourself to a hydrating masque that will infuse your locks with moisture. After days at the beach or poolside, your dried-out hair will thank you for giving it a little TLC. Apply Elie Elie Revitalizing Treatment Masque No. 5 to locks and take a seat outside under the sun and enjoy a relaxing and beneficial conditioning treatment. SRP: $39.

* The biggest trend this summer? The side ponytail. To achieve this look brush hair free of snarls, grip the hair behind one ear and twist a hair tie around the ponytail. Cover the band with hair by wrapping in around and over the band, next, use a large barrel curling iron to create huge, loose curls.

* We saw controlled frizz all over the runway this year. To perfect the look make sure that all hair is free of tangles, add a generous amount of Elie Elie Polishing Gelée, No. 7and embrace your curly ‘do! SRP: $26.

* Volume, volume volume! Be sure to invest in hot rollers to achieve ultimate volume and large curls. Indulging in Elie Elie’s Élixir Bouclé for fine to medium hair, No. 8will prep your hair for a volumized look. First apply a generous amount of No. 8, dry the hair, set with hot rollers, allow the roller to cool completely and then finger comb curls. SRP: $27.
