BEAT THE HEAT! As the days get longer, we spend more time soaking up the sunshine outdoors, but what about those days where you’re stuck inside? A cocktail of heat and humidity makes for frizzy hair – and, nobody wants that! For Tina Mehmi, Rush Artistic Colour Team Member, nothing beats a simple, breezy hairstyles to beat the heat! 1. The Crop “If you’ve been thinking about experimenting with your look, then summer may be the perfect time to do it! If you hate your hair sticking to your body, then why not try the cut of the season – the crop. This style is a delicately feminine approach to the classic pixie, offering a much more effortless rendition with its summery, relaxed feel. Essentially, it’s a pixie cut that has been left longer on the top to achieve the boho-chic essence of the look. With the crop, you won’t lose on movement and texture, but your hair won’t stick to you anymore – it’s a win-win!” 2. Slick Back “With the beautiful sunshine, comes the worst hair combo ever – humidity and the dreaded frizz. Sometimes the only way you can possibly tame the frizz in the heat is bringing out the good old trusty slick back – and you’re in luck, they’re in fashion! The classic slick-back bun is the perfect style to keep your hair out of your face – especially if you’re short on time! I’d recommend using a strong hold hairspray to keep your style looking sleek all day long.” 3. Braids “Braids are the perfect option for all hair types and lengths on those warmer day – especially if you have wavy or curly hair. Not only do even the simplest of braids look absolutely beautiful, but they also stop the hair from becoming tangled and frizzy with the heat, meaning less breakage! My favourite is Dutch braids, as you can customise them to your own personal preference – whether you’re after a sleek, tighter look, or a more romantic, ‘un-done’ feel, the Dutch braid is the perfect way to add a pop of glamour.” 4. Bubble Ponytails “Elevate your classic ponytail this season with the Y2K-inspired bubble ponytail which is loved for its practical yet trendy look. This style works best with second-day medium to long hair, making it great for the warmer weather when you need a style that will keep your hair out your face. The key to nailing this trend is to create an effortlessly ‘un-done’ vibe, embracing flyaways and texture for a messier look, using clear elastics to create the bubble effect cascading down the hair. “ Hair – RUSH Artistic Team  Photography – Jack Eames  Makeup – Lans London  Styling – Robert Morrison  Beat the Heat
