Have you ever noticed that the women with the best hair tend to be the ones who have the simplest, most straightforward hair routines? Now that summer is here, so are those stressors for your hairs and  it’s only natural that our hair turns dry, frizzy and dull looking, the sun and humidity being the main reason.

Ayesha Mistry, a hair expert helps us out with some great summer hairstyles, hair care tips and hair treatments-

HAIRSTYLES
Constantly having your hair over your neck in summer can get real frustrating. Try the simple classic ponytails in variations. You can tie them real high up or a do a low one sitting on your nape. Wear it straight, or curly and messy.

Get the hair off your forehead by making quiffs.

Braids are very much in fashion and they are real easy to do too. Try the classic braid, fishtail or French.

For a formal look you can work with buns and knots like the ballerina, bohemian, sleek, tall, low or messy buns. Feel free to use accessories to create a fun, funky or feminine look.

HAIR TIPS
a) Use a professional shampoo and conditioner recommended for your hair type.

b) A leave in conditioner is an absolute must for your hair especially in summer.

c) Wash your hair frequently so you maintain a clean and health scalp.

d) If possible do an intense conditioning treatment every 2 to 4 weeks depending on your hair type and level of damage.

e) Definitely avoid a fringe in Summer if you have curly hair and have trouble maintaining it, especially since it is going to frizz up faster.
