BEACH HAIR
BY ANDREW COLLINGE
We’ve seen a shift towards textured hairstyles in 2017 and even
before beach season began, the tousled look had become the
hairstyle of choice on many a spring summer catwalk.
One of the standout SS17 shows saw Alexander Wang bleach models
hair and completely transform their looks. Hairstylist Sam McKnight
stated his inspiration for this collection as the classic surfer girl look
and his hairstyles were heavily textured, with plenty of teasing, twisting
and roughed up waves.
Forget the idea of the perfect finish, as this trend is all about creating
the illusion of being undone and effortless. It will lend itself well to the
beach where the elements have a tendency to play havoc with your
hair.
There are a few key products you can use to help you achieve beach
waves. CO by Andrew Collinge Volume mousse is the ideal product
for diffusing hair to create waves, curls and natural texture. It will help
you add volume and hold to your style without adding any heaviness
in the hair. Our volume mousse has been made with extra conditioners
whilst it also provides UV protection for your hair, making it the
perfect product to use when hitting the beach.
CO by Andrew Collinge Hair Moisturiser is another convenient
product to use between washes as it can be spritzed into the hair any
time to replace lost moisture and will act as a leave in conditioner. On
hot summer days it will rejuvenate hair and restore its vitality.
Another key hair trend for Spring Summer 2017 is the wet sleek look
and this can be worn in many ways. A selection of designers used
slicked back styles to complement their spring summer collections and
whilst Thakoon sent models down the runway with tight, wet shiny top
knots, Stella McCartney’s models showed off swept back sleek styles
and Thierry Mugler’s models wore perfect glossy centre partings. If
you’re taking to the sea, you’re halfway to achieving this look, which
makes it a great option for the beach. Adding CO by Andrew Collinge
Definer to towel dried hair will give hair a shiny sleek finish for longer
and its unique gel serum formulation will help control frizz, smooth
down flyaways.
