The Essentials for Looking Hot in the Summer Heat
Everyone’s favorite season is right around the corner and I want to make sure that you are armed and dangerously gorgeous all summer long.
Beach Babe Color Technique: Balayage, a French hair painting technique, gives a natural, sun-kissed look for summer. Celebs including Giselle, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston both use this technique to achieve perfect golden locks. Color grows out with a more natural look than regular foil highlighting giving clients a little bit longer time to go between touch ups a big perk in a down economy.
Beach Bag Essentials: Keep Ojon® Rub-Out Dry Cleanser to Go ($10, sephora.com) and a hat or brightly colored bandana in your beach bag. The dry shampoo is a ideal pick me up for hair that has been put through a full days worth of summer activities. The hat and/or bandana not only make a cute and flirty summer accessory but they are great ways to protect your color and your scalp from the suns damaging rays.
Style: Hot looks for summer hair include Gidget braids and beachy waves. Achieve beach hair even when you are miles away from the surf. Use Phillip B. Maui Wowie Beach Mist ($22, PhillipB.com) to get that tousled sexy look for your tresses. The product is a blend of salt water, Aloe Vera extract and oils of Orchid and Tahitian Gardenia.
To use: Shake bottle; spray on damp or dry hair from roots to tips and comb through. Tousle hair and let air-dry, or twist hair in sections and dry under a diffuser for loose, sexy waves.

Hot Hair Product... TAKE TWO  Yes, it's true... For the first time in my newsletter's history, I'm recommending a product for the second time to you guys. Why??? Because it's THAT good!
Moroccanoil Treatment is great for for all hair types. It instantly absorbs into the hair to create instant shine and long term conditioning without leaving an oily residue. Derived from Argan trees, this formula will also strengthen and soften brittle locks. Gentle enough for fine hair, intense enough for unmanageable hair, Moroccanoil Treatment promotes healing and provides nourishment. Use to create a balance for your hair and scalp while protecting hair from harmful UV damage and other environmental factors.
You can find a 3.4oz bottle on Amazon for about $25-30.
