Does Your Hair Need a Summer Vacation?
Beauty Icon José Eber Shares the Latest Looks for Sultry Days
and Nights.
If your current cut and color could use an update for the long,
hot days of summer, José Eber and his Artistic Team, comprised of
the best stylists and colorist from Eber's nationwide collection
of salons, have developed a winning formula for creating and
maintaining the hottest looks for the months ahead.
Sometimes change is like a summer vacation. A great hair cut. A
splash of color. Two simple elements that can change your look and
leave you feeling relaxed, carefree and ready to enjoy any summer
destination, whether in on the sands of Saint Tropez or poolside
in your own backyard. A fantastic summer hairstyle can be, in and
of itself, like a long, languorous holiday - without the sun
damage.
Each season at José Eber Atelier, our top stylists and
colorists work with me to create collections of hairstyles to
complement both the casual and couture fashions introduced on
runways across the world. Here we unveil some of the most exciting
looks for the summer of 2001.
This season, we have created feminine, easy to maintain looks
that accentuate, not overpower, the pastel colors, floral prints,
and lightweight fabrics that help to beat the heat and humidity.
These summer tresses are fresh, bouncy, boast lots of sexy shine
and cry out to be touched.
My philosophy has always been that beauty is more than hair,
facial features and body type. There is no one hairstyle or color
that will work for every woman, but there is a look that is just
right for you. So keep in mind that while creating your own
signature summer style, the overall goal is to not just be more
beautiful but more confident and comfortable with who you are.
With this in mind, here are a
few
tips and trends to
really help you radiate from sunrise to sunset.
Solid Summer Shimmer
This seasons colors are all about one process, solid looks.
Locks in pure shades of auburn, chestnut, and pale blonde will
dominate. Streaks are out. Shiny, sexy, healthy looking hair is
in.
Breezy, Carefree Cuts
Summer hair is all about a great cut. This season's lines are
more blunt than in recent seasons and are accentuated with light
layers that move.
Avoid Overexposure
Even the most attentive, expensive hair care regimen may not
deliver the looks you want when you consider the abuses of summer.
Sun, heat, chlorine, haircolor, overdrying, and product buildup
can all damage hair, and the consequences are twice as bad during
the summer months. Instead of creating complicated styles, focus
most of your attention on the care and conditioning of your hair.
So, be sure to wear sunscreen made especially for hair. There are
several great products on the market right now.
Don't over shampoo - the heat and sun will already dry hair - too
much shampoo will make it even dryer. You can wash with shampoo
every other day but you must condition every
day.
Take the lazy days of summer to liven up your locks with leave in
conditioner applied liberally while at the beach or lying by the
pool. How should you deep-condition your hair? Start an inch down
from your scalp where you don't need more oil, especially in warm
weather, comb conditioner through and massage into the ends. Keep
on several minutes, or wear all day on trendily twisted, pinned-up
tresses.
At José Eber Atelier, we use our own signature line of products,
Biolure. Made with natural plant extracts, essential oils and
herbs, they are ideal for gently cleansing conditioning and
styling hair of all types. Biolure Daily Shampoo is very gentle on
summer hair while Biolure Daily Conditioner can be rinsed right
out or left in for extra conditioning.
Cover Up
Hats and scarves a la Bridget Jones are a must if you plan to
be in the sun for an extended period of time or hair will end up
bleached, dry and brittle.. And, after swimming in the ocean, lake
or pool, rinse hair immediately to remove chemicals, salts and
other impurities that can be disastrous to hair color and
condition.
Make a Statement
Accessorize.
Headbands, barrettes in all shapes and sizes, and
more sophisticated hair jewelry can help to maintain sleek summer
looks, make styling easy, and add sizzle to a straightforward cut.
While on the beach, apply conditioner to the hair and wrap it with
a colorful scarf. On breezy summer evenings, keep hair in place
with a headband or barrettes. Use accessories to express your
individuality and playful side.
Follow your intuition about what warm weather-friendly colors,
cuts and adornments look best on you. With a little inspiration
from the sun, sights and simple pleasures of summertime, you can
go places you never dreamed you'd go.
Bon Voyage!
