SUMMER HAIR

Robyn from Fringe on Churchill says, “In my opinion there is no truly out of fashion hairstyle. I’ve always felt that if you love your hairstyle and wear it like you own it, then it’s fashionable. The secret to a great style is owning it!”

With that, said Robyn, “trends in 2020 were focused on natural texture, no fuss hairstyles. 2021 is following a very similar path with textured layers, bobs and lobs, pixie cuts, soft edges to sharp lines, wispy fringes, curtains, side fringes. Men’s fashion is anything from clean cut to fades to short textured to mid length.

“I love the way anything goes with hair fashion. The cool thing with my industry is we get to work with each client to meet their individual needs.”

Want to keep that do in tip top shape? Here are Robyn’s top four summer haircare tips:

Those with darker hair might like to make their colours richer, deeper and more vibrant and shinier. Those with blonde may want more babylites added through their hair to give it a more summery feel.

Hair treatments become super important during the summer months as the sun and sea will wreak havoc on your hair over time.

Purple shampoos and conditioners are a blonde’s best friend, counteracting yellow and keeping their colours looking fresh and clean.

I highly recommend hair products that contain sun filters and leave in conditioning properties.

SUMMER SKIN

Summertime, a time when we all bare a little more skin. Sue from Tranquillo says, “As we change from winter clothing to summer, so too should you look at coming in for a review of your skincare routine and products. With a great range of skincare products in store, like Dermalogica, Environ, Skincare RX, O Cosmedics, Juvenate, they can help you choose the right skincare for you.

Sue also has some sage advice on what to do and not do so you can have a great summer and not bear the results for years to come. Do Wear a sunscreen that is broad spectrum with antioxidants to help repair and protect. Don’t Forget to reapply regularly, especially if swimming or doing exercise. And don’t forget the tops of heads and back of neck areas. Do Keep well hydrated. Add fruit or mint to a water bottle or jug of water in the fridge. Don’t Drink too much coffee or alcohol. Do Treat your hardworking feet and hands to an indulgent pedicure or manicure. Don’t Start IPL/laser treatments during summer, SS exfoliation and peels increase photosensitivity, so these are best done in the cooler months.

And a few more dos:

Rather than sunbathing, get a glow by coming in for a spray tan with no skin damage.

Wear a hat and cover up if out for long periods of time.

Spritz your skin to cool and hydrate.

Eat well. Make the most of those gorgeous summer fruit and vegetables to create amazing salads.

Have a fabulous summer here in the Bay of Plenty with family and friends.
