Lighten up
If you’re going to go lighter, then now there’s the perfect time to do it. Summertime usually means lighter clothes, lighter makeup, and yes, lighter hair color! But that doesn’t mean you need to go drastic. Keep your base color and have your stylist add a couple of highlights one or two shades lighter than your base color for a natural, sun-kissed look. Honey highlights like Jennifer Lopez’s look great against a new, bronzy tan.
Get a cut
If you’re feeling bold, chop it all off and go for a sexy, sophisticated bob like Salma Hayek’s. Not your style? Have a few inches trimmed off and ask your stylist for some layers that require the least amount of maintenance, but will give your tresses some new shape.
Try a new hairstyle
Have you been rocking your hair down almost every, SINGLE day for the last few months? I hear ya! Keep that hair out of your face with some cool braided hairstyles. A braided headband like Jessica Alba’s works great on any texture and it’s actually really easy to do!
Skip the heat
Put down those hot tools and embrace your natural texture. Summertime is all about natural curls and beach waves. Have pin straight hair? Try Victoria’s Secret Beach Hair Wavy Spray ($12). It will give you effortless, tousled waves just like Shakira’s.
Get shiner hair
Just because you’re out in the sun doesn’t mean your hair has to get dull and damaged. Apply a deep conditioning treatment, like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask ($6), to keep hair soft, shiny, and conditioned. Spritz some hair sun protection spray, like Shiseido Refreshing Sun Protection Spray for Body & Hair Broad Spectrum SPF 16 ($30) for further protection. I’m pretty sure Camila Alves uses something like this to keep her hair look this great all year long.
