ICYMI, summer hairstyles are a thing. From Instagrammable braids to buns that blend chic with convenience, one Google search on summer hairstyles can open up your world to innumerable hairdos. While playing hairstylist with your locks can be a fun and indulgent summer activity, chances are that the gratification of nailing a specific hairstyle won’t last for long, thanks to the humidity brought by the scorching summer.
Excessive heat and humidity not only lead to increased perspiration on your scalp, thereby diluting the bounce and freshness of your hair, but also make your tresses lacklustre and highly prone to frizz— two pesky phenomena that can take your picture-perfect hairstyle from fab to drab in no time. To keep away from such mishaps, it’s best to add some hair styling products to your summer hair care routine. Resorting to hair styling products can promote longevity of the look and keep your hair fresh, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident all day long.
Here’s a line-up of the best hair products for the summer – picks that will keep your fun summer hairstyle in place and for long.
1. The Man Company Machismo Hair Styling Cream Wax:
Don’t sleep on the benefits of using hair wax to keep your hairstyle in place, for it can prove to do wonders. This cream-based wax combines the goodness of vitamin E, almond oil, baobab oil and arginine (an amino acid) that nourishes the hair, provides a stronger hold and gives your hair a sleek look all day long. PS: this is not one of those hair waxes that end up giving stiff locks that then lead to unwanted hair fall.
2. The Beard Story Hair Styling Gel for Medium Hold:
If you struggle with a scalp that’s prone to excess oiliness and hair that’s vulnerable to falling flat, give this gel-based styling product a shot. Pumped with a hair-loving mix of ingredients like castor oil, glycerine, cressatine and tropaeolum majus extract, this translucent hair gel comes with a ‘zero-cast’ policy. The product not only offers hair repair but also supports your mane in sustaining the hairstyle for quite a few hours.
3. Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper Strong Hold Hair Spray:
Let’s admit it, hairsprays are super convenient to use, especially when you’re spritzing them on the go. If you’re looking for a runway-proof solution to keep your hairstyle intact through the day, try this hairspray as the finishing step before heading out. Whether a messy bun or salty waves, this easily passes as one of the best hairsprays, promising a *really* long-lasting hold, even on the hottest days. To balance out the potential effects of its potent ingredients, the glycerin and panthenol present in the spray up its nourishment quotient.
4. Toni&Guy Sea Salt Texturising Hair Spray:
We all love some salty, textured waves during the summer season, don’t we? Consider this sea salt-infused texturising spray as your best bet to cheat your way to achieving a just-back-from-the-beach look with just a few spritzes. Besides the refreshing fragrance of this hairspray, it should make it to your summer hair care shelf because of how quickly it enlivens your hair and adds the bounce back with enriching ingredients like glycerin and castor oil.
5. Kevin Murphy touchable Spray Wax Finishing Hair Spray:
Want to enjoy the effect of a hair wax minus the greasiness? This spray fits the bill. The conditioning spray offers the prolonged stay of hair wax in an easy-to-use spray format.
