Create natural, effortless, beach hair worn loose, soft and wavy. It adds body and texture to straight, fine strands or pumps up the curl in already wavy hair. Add extra definition to your wavy layers.

How to Use

Spray evenly all over damp or dry hair. Scrunch hair to amplify a wavy texture. Allow to dry naturally for a soft finish or, for high voltage waves use a diffuser while scrunching. Use as a texturizing spray to create added texture for any style.

 If you have some natural wave to your hair, you can just scrunch in some salt spray for an awesome just-off-the-beach look.  Most of these products contain salt for real ocean-like texture and conditioners to prevent drying. If you like the way your hair looks after a day at the beach, you will love texturizing salt spray.

Amazingly Trendy Hair Colors to Try This Spring



This spring, flowers will bloom and colors will flourish. Let the change of seasons inspire you to try something new with your look too! The hair colors trend this season goes from mild to wild meaning there truly is something for everyone. Time to get spring-inspired!

Bronzed Lights

A rich bronzed base with beige blonde highlights intertwining throughout will warm and brighten your skin tone this spring. At your next visit to your favorite stylist, talk with them about a gradual move towards this look

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:
Finer complexioned beauties look amazing with this bronzed color. It warms the skin tone just enough and the highlights keep the color from becoming too dark. A medium to fine hair texture would work best with this color and hair that has soft curls or waves will hold this curled style best.
Tip:
If you have more than 25% grey in your hair, talk to your stylist about doing both a color and highlight your first visit, then switching to a color every five to five weeks with a highlight at every other appointment.  This will keep your color looking great while being a little easier on your pocket book.

Chocolate Cherry

Brunettes are always searching for great ways to brighten up their locks without going lighter. The placement of rich cherry highlights through the fringe and top of hair creates interest in all the right places.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:
Warm toned beauties that have naturally dark hair and want to step into a bit of the red zone are perfect for this color technique. Straight hair that is worn slightly curled at the ends or naturally straight show off the placement of the highlights best.
Tip:
To achieve this voluminous look, thick hair with volumizing products (such as Pravana’s Elevate) and a great blow out are a must. If you’re having trouble achieving your look at home, ask your stylist for a style lesson. They love to give you easy ways and recommendations to keep you looking your best.

Blonde with a Bit of Surprise 

Beautiful blonde highlights are always in style, but add a bit of color peaking through around your ear and nape of your neck and it brings it to a whole new level! When choosing a coordinating color to go with your blonde highlights, take into consideration the tone of your blonde. If you are a cool blonde, go with beige brown. If you’re more of a golden blonde, try adding rich golden brown. To keep this look soft, make sure that the accent color is not too dark. A shade to two shades darker will create the depth you want without too much contrast.

A mid to light complexion wears this color beautifully. Hair that is medium to fine withwaves or straight will work well with both the color technique and style.
Tip:
If your hair is very fine, the slightly darker color underneath will create a shadow and make your hair appear thicker. Keep hair trimmed regularly and use volumizing products to keep hair in great shape.

Copper Sunset

Coppers mixed with mahogany and golds create a knockout red that will turn heads everywhere you go! The mix of brighter, fiery coppers throughout the top with the softness and depth of the mahogany framing your face is a must this spring.

Fair skinned beauties who look great in greens wear this color like a pro! Be prepared to be mistaken for a natural redhead. Medium to thick hair that is straight or wavy show this color off like the work of art it is.
Tip:
Love this color but maybe reds don’t suit you? Ask your stylist for a brown version. Mix tones of gold, ash (don’t be scared!), natural, or beige in varying depths for a hot new look this spring.

Blonde Never Left

Blonde never goes out of style! This spring, soften your blonde with tone on tonelowlights in wheat, beige and natural. Ask for a fine lowlight to keep it looking natural.

A medium complexion that is cooler looks radiant with this beautiful blonde. Hair that is naturally a light brown to blonde can achieve a soft blonde with minimal upkeep. A medium to fine texture that is straight will achieve this style nicely.
Tip:
Hair that is naturally very dark that wants to achieve this light blonde shade may want to ask for a heavy highlight instead of an all over color. It will be easier to reach the target color and also maintain.

Ombre Has NOT Left the building!

The easy to maintain, soft ombre trend is hot this spring! Most women think that allombre involves the ends being a very light blonde, but this amazing example of a richchocolate brown melting into a soft caramel changes the game completely!

Warm skin tones that will tan easily look amazing in this soft caramel ombre. Longer lengths of hair allow for a smooth blending of the colors. Medium to thick straight hair works best for both the color and style.
Tip:
To brighten your face even more, ask your stylist to bring the lighter color up higher around your face. It still gives longevity to the color, but allows you to feel lighter all over.

A Penny for your Thoughts

This spring coppers are hot! This soft copper with subtle golden highlights, just slightly lighter than the base, is beautiful on so many ladies. Pair it with soft curls or waves for a night out or special event.

Tip:
If you are hesitant on changing your color to a beautiful copper, ask your stylist to use a demi-permanent color that will gradually fade off your hair while you give it a trail run.

Pieced Ribbons of Highs and Lows

I love the separation of the highlights and lowlights in this color. The dimension it creates while keeping a light, all-over feel to the color is genius! This spring, request a mix of highs and lows in a variation of sizes.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:
Medium skin tone that is cooler looks beautiful with this varied blonde color. Thick hairthat is straight will showcase the color perfectly.
Tip:
If you’re trying highlights for the first time, you may not need to have lowlights applied as well. Consult with your stylist on the best colors for you.

Underlight

Create interest in your color with a bright flash of blonde peeking through from underneath! You can accent it with styling or keep it hidden underneath while at the office.

Tip:
While the model is showcasing this color trend with a nice copper with bright blonde, you can wear this with any color combo! Brown with caramel, fire engine red with copper, cool blonde with gold…the options are endless.

Golden Goddess

Soft golden blonde with a slightly richer butter blonde ombre is to die for! Warm tones are going to be “in” this season and not going anywhere. Why would it? This rich color draws the eye straight to you, no matter where you are.

Complexions that are fair to porcelain are a must for this hot buttered look. Medium hair that is straight in texture will show the variations in color magically.
Tip:
When going with a different color, remember that you may need to change up your make up too. Ask your stylist for their recommendations. Most stylists love both fashion and makeup and have great tips to share!

Reverse Ombre

Brunettes don’t get to have all the ombre fun! This, spring try darkening the ends of your blonde locks with a beautiful bronze or other fashion color.

Medium skin with a warm glow paired with the bronze ends will brighten you look. Any density of hair that is straight or wavy will hold this style with ease.
Tip:
If you want to give this look a try but aren’t totally sure about it, ask your stylist to use a demi-permanent color.  It will gradually fade off your blonde locks, and the next time you may just want to go permanent!

Mahogany Mama

Let your color be rich and radiant with a gorgeous mahogany this spring! The shine in this color is incomparable to anything else. This color is a great choice for revamping brown hair. Ask your stylist for a soft color that will have dimension.

Platinum Radiance

Platinum blonde is not for the faint of heart! The bright blonde shines in this icy hue and draws lots of attention.

Tip:
You must be ready for the commitment of keeping up with this color. Touch ups and trims are a must every three to five weeks. Make sure you love your stylist because you will be spending lots of time together!

Goddess Ombre

A soft blend from a natural light brown to a sun kissed blonde paired with curly waves is stunning! This is a beautiful color that has longevity and worry-free maintenance. This type of color is great for the busy lady who can’t schedule regular appointments at the salon. With a slightly higher blend of the lightest color around the face, this color is perfect for spring!

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:
Mid toned complexions with warm hues paired with this ombre are quite a match. Hair that is fine to medium texture and blessed with natural curls or waves will hold the goddess style perfectly.
Tip:
Add a head band or pretty clip to dress this look up, or wear as is to any party, girls night out or even the office.

Sparking Interest

When you have a fun trendy haircut, it’s just not complete without a matching color! Face framing bright copper bursts take this cut to a new dimension. Heavier color around the face brings attention to your eyes and opens up for a bright smile.

Tip:
f highlights Love the highlights, but not a fan of copper? Your stylist can follow the same pattern owith any choosen hue.

Spring Flowers Inspire Bright Highlights

Don’t be scared of a little color this spring! Shades of violet and pink layered on top of each other or side by side create a bold, pretty burst of color. Keeping the color a little further back in your hair allows you to have a more natural color placed right next to the face, avoiding any clashes with skin tone.
Short Bright Multicolor Hair Color with Bangs

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:
Any skin tone can rock out some funky color! Just pick a base color that compliments both your skin tone and the bright hues. In the case of our model, she has a soft violet brown. Hair that is medium to thick in texture and straight will showcase the highlights best.
Tip:
Keeping your new highlights bright is a challenge sometimes. The first defense in color fading is your shampoo.  Using a sulfate-free shampoo with cool water and styling temperatures is a must with bright colors.

Noir Framing

Create drama this spring with a dark framing of your face. Adding slices of dark brown around the hair line from your fringe to ears generates a shadow that can be accentuated as in the picture, or toned down by styling a bit differently.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:
Light to medium skin tones will look fabulous with this dark framing of the face, while hair that is medium thickness and straight will create a platform to show off your new hue.
Tip:
If your color is very light, don’t go with too dark of a contrast. Three shades difference is recommended, or, if you really want to go wild, try a dark violet, blue or green hue!
With the wide variety of color trends that are trending this spring, you can’t be afraid to give one a try. Go mild or wild, but don’t miss your chance to let your new do’ bloom!

                               SHORT  VS. LONG HAIR
                           How To Tell Which One Is For You...

2014 is the year of short. From Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway to Miley Cyrus and Beyonce (all of her 30 seconds of short), cropped hair hasn’t looked so hot since Audrey Hepburn in the 50s or Mia Farrow circa ’77. 

Celebrity hairstylist Daniel Johnson says: “An advantage of having a shorter hairstyle in winter is that it’s a lot easier to keep in good condition and maintain style-wise. Going for a shorter style gets rid of any dead ends and gives your hair a chance to revitalise after all of the damage that the summer sun has caused.” We’re certainly tempted.

“Be warned though, shorter hairstyles require a lot more attention in terms of cutting if you want to keep them looking well-groomed” he says.

That’s not the only consideration - going for the chop is big commitment and there’s a high regret risk factor. How on earth do you know if short will suit you? Daniel have given us his golden rules to help you find a short style to suit YOUR features. Because unfortunately, we don’t all look like Queen Bey, do we?

Choosing a short cut for your face shape
1) If you have a long face, select a hairstyle that will shorten it. To do this, you want to create the illusion of width. If you’re thinking of trying short hairstyles, a chin length bob would work great. Or, if that’s too short, try a cut that ends somewhere between the chin and shoulders.

Alternatively, if you want to keep your hair longer, a tip is to add width through curls and waves. Long hair with a long face can drag it down; however this style looks great and will balance the proportions out.
2) If you have a wide face (round or square shaped), select a hairstyle that will add length to your face. This will balance the proportions by creating the illusion that it is longer and slimmer. If you have a round face, I would try to avoid having short hair and opt for a longer straighter style as this will elongate your face, making it appear slimmer and more in proportion.
However, if you do want a shorter style, avoid the ‘classic bob’ as this could look like you have a helmet on your head. Instead, I would try a long bob. Perhaps a cut that ends one-two inches below the chin. This will elongate your face and draw the eye downwards giving the illusion of a longer face.

3) If you have an angular face (e.g. square or oblong shaped), try opting for a softer haircut. This will soften the edges of your face. It will depend on your overall body type, as you need to balance out the proportions. However, often, angular faces tend to work really well with short hairstyles (such as pixie crops), especially if you have an elegant swan-like neck like Charlize Theron or Emma Watson. So, if you fancy going for a change, why not be brave and experiment with a shorter style?

4) People with perfectly oval shaped faces are lucky. They are lucky as they will suit most styles - short or long.
Fringes on short hair
A fringe is a big statement and you must have the right fringe to suit your facial shape or this could look very wrong! Square, long, oval and round faces, for example, would all need different styled fringes and cuts.

I think short hair with a fringe is a huge no-no! It looks completely wrong and can also make your whole overall look seem wrong. I'd say keep fringes for people with long hair as, with long hair, they work really well, and look stylish and very sleek.

Top tip: Always ask your stylist if the cut you want will suit you. There’s no harm in asking and they will be able to help you find a cut that you like that is also perfect for your face shape.

This season, wearing sophisticated yet playful hair and makeup is a celebration in its self! What are we waiting for????

SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS
 A teased updo with a center part has easy elegance written all over it.

HOT HAIR
  Whether it is wavy, curly, or straight, just make sure its big. Inflate your do by prepping with volumizing mousse.
