Fresh Tresses

Don't take a break from looking fabulous just because the social season is over in South Florida.

In fact, why not experiment with a fresh look this summer? Alli Webb, founder of the nationwide blowout-salon chain Drybar, has plenty of suggestions for hot new hairstyles to try. The Boca Raton native is a longtime professional stylist and has become an internationally recognized hair expert since starting her company in California in 2010.

Tousled and textured: One of Webb's favorite looks this summer comprises soft waves that appear wind-swept and salt-kissed - like you just spent a day at the beach. It's an ever-growing trend, she says, and you can achieve it with a wax spray (if you have some natural wave) or a curling iron. Spray the wax onto your palms or six inches away from dry hair, and then tousle or scrunch your tresses. Or twist your hair in a curling iron away from your face, release the hair and pull on the curl to get a natural-looking wave.

Get kinky: Crimped hair reminiscent of the 1980s makes for a true blast from the past. "What's old is new!" Webb says. "Just like fashion trends go 'round and 'round, the same holds true for hair." It's also another way to get in on the texture trend this season. Separate your hair into small (about 1-inch) sections, and work through the sections with a crimping iron. You can crimp the entire length of your hair, only the ends or just a few sections.

Join the band: "I think this is a fun look that we will see more of in 2018," Webb says of wearing headbands. "A lot of designers are making these in pretty rad designs." To complement your hairstyle in seconds, add a bandana- or headwrap-style headband in a bold pattern. The pinup look is especially popular right now, Webb says. To tame flyaway hairs when wearing a headband, simply add a little styling paste to keep it in place without getting too sticky.
