Simple Summer Styling Tips

Simple Summer Styling Tips

As the rising temperatures and humidity of the summer season come more upon us, the last thing most women want is a high maintenance and fussy hairstyle to deal with. Most of our clients do not want to spend the time mastering their blow out when it will go flat as soon as you step out into the humidity.

Give your buff arms, tools, and hair a break and opt for effortless summer looks that don't require any heat styling.

Beach Waves

Beach waves is a classic summer hairstyle that can be achieved even if you don't live near the ocean. Simply mist Kasia's Off the Fritz for sun protection, then a little John Masters Sea Salt Spray or Hamadi Leave In -- into towel dried hair and scrunch. Let hair air dry to reveal soft and sassy waves.

Top Knot

The top knot is a classy favorite that is a chic summer look that can be topped off in the a.m and p.m. To achieve this look, tap Kasia Revive Dry Shampoo Powder into air-dried hair to add texture and avoid slippery hair. Place hair in a high, slicked back ponytail and tease sections of the ponytail. Wrap the teased hair into a bun and secure with a bobby pin.

Fashion Ponytail

The fashion ponytail is always on trend. Simple and chic, and can dress up any outfit. For those that do not wash their hair daily, this is ideal!  To get the look, gather hair into a super-high ponytail. Smooth out any bumps or fly-aways and secure with a clear elastic. Wrap a piece of hair around the ponytail to cover the elastic and secure with a bobby pin. Finish the look one spray and spread of Kasia Resotre Hair Oil for a super-shiny ponytail.

Hair Tip: Conquering Oily Hair

  A majority of women wash their hair everyday because they have oily hair or want to “feel clean.”  This works for the short term, but for many of us who color our luscious locks, this easily results in the dramatically shortened lifespan of our color’s quality, as well as dry out the hair from over cleansing.  Kasia Organic Salon uses a color line that cuts down fading immensely, but a too many scrubs has an effect.

So how do you maintain less oily hair without losing your color?

YES, as your stylist has probably told you all along, the answer is to wash your hair LESS. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wash your hair ever, and by no means take this to mean you shouldn’t take showers (please take showers!). Slowly weaning yourself off of washing your hair everyday with signal to the sebaceous gland in the follicles to produce less sebum.

This will protect your color from fading, your cuticle being stripped of it’s natural oils to produce healthy hair grown, and and your hair from being over cleansed.

Also check out our Kasia Dry Shampoo which will help lift out excess oils and products to give you that great just showered feeling in between washings.  Shampoo’s without harsh surfactants or SLS is also very important, along with a conditioner with efficient hydrolyzed proteins to repair the hair.

Maintenance Free Kasia Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoo is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to have the appearance of clean hair without investing the time necessary to achieve it. Let’s face it: washing hair takes time. It’s not just about spending the 2 minutes or so it takes to lather and rinse… once you get your hair wet, you then have to dry it, and in most cases, style it as well. This can become rather tedious day after day. Thankfully, you can skip all of those steps and save a lot of time by using a little-known product called dry shampoo.

Dry shampoo is a specially formulated powder that gives hair a clean appearance and fresh feeling. It absorbs the excess oil that leaves hair looking greasy between washings. All you have to do is apply the “shampoo” to your hair and then brush it through. The result is soft-looking, lightly fragranced hair and a few more days before you have to get out the liquid shampoo.

Another benefit of powder shampoo is that it adds some volume to your hair. Hair that hasn’t been washed for several days not only looks greasy but also rather lifeless. By brushing in some dry shampoo, volume is instantly created. A bit of dry shampoo can help give a little bit of body and create the illusion of freshly blow-dried hair. The fragrance can help mask smoke and sweat odors as well.

This type of shampoo is very convenient to use on oily hair in a pinch, but it is not a long-term substitute for washing your hair the traditional way with regular shampoo and water. It is intended only to extend the time between washings, not replace them. Most people need to wash their hair the regular way at least once per week, and on the days in between.
