Summer hair SOS: The Informal up-do

Monday, December 15, 2008

Summer takes its toll on your hair with damage from the sun, surf and sand. Here we show you how to transform frazzled hair into fabulous locks.

Informal up-do

When hair may be a little wayward, and there’s no time for taming it with a blowdry or salon style, get some glamour in flash with a simple up do. Long hot days are better suited to soft, loose and messy styles, rather than contrived buns or chignons.

Solution. Scoop hair together at the back to form a low ponytail, securing with an elastic band. Start creating a loose bun, by winding hair around in a spiraled knot at the nape of your neck. Use bobby pins to secure the bun to the back of your head. Finish with a mist of Sebastian Originals Shaper Hair Spray, 300g, $27.50, to give the hair hold without tackiness.
