Whether you live in a warm dry climate, or suffering the dryness of winter months, the tousled hair look is always a classic. Use homemade salt spray to create this sultry style, or head to your nearest salon and pick up Frederic Fekkai’s Luscious Curls Cream (US$20/€15.79). Blow dry your locks with a diffuser while using your hands to engage in some scrunching action. Alternatively, combine salt and water into a spray bottle and smooth with Kérastase’s Oleo Relax Smoothing Concentrate Care (US$35/€27.64).
This product is also perfect for combating the effects of humidity–it may be a bit of a splurge, however it is worth every penny and will last you forever (well, almost). For even more effective results, combine this with Moroccan Oil’s Intense Curl Cream ($30/€23.18): mix the two products in the palm of your hands and run through your hair, starting with the ends. My hair usually becomes an afro during the torrid New York summers, and this remedy is always able to cure me of my rather unwelcome 1970’s hairdo. Don’t forget to use clarifying shampoo at least once a week–my favourite is Redken’s Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo (US$10.90/€8.61).
To combat the damage that heat styling, brushing, and general wear and tear creates, try Ojon’s signature Restorative Hair Treatment (from US$21/€16.23). This miracle product can be used as a deep conditioning treatment in the shower, a leave-in conditioner, or a shine cream for styling. The treatment, made from palm nut oil, is to be used sparingly, which means you won’t be rushing out anytime soon to stock up on more.
