DOWNEY, CA During those hot summer months, it will be important to stay cool, while keeping fashionable in your sassy summer styles. Keeping up on seasonal trends and tools will ensure that you always remain stylish and fashion forward. Rosey Ibarra, owner of the Urban Roots Salon in Downey, CA continually proves herself to be on the forefront of fashion and has the hottest summer hairstyle tips to share with you!
When it comes to your overall look and hair fashions of summer, Ibarra predicts the newest trends will focus on loose and natural looking hairstyles. “This season, it will be all about exuding effortless hair designs with soft beach waves that feature long and loose layers. Your summer hairstyles should not emphasize perfection of hair with exact placement of curls,” notes Ibarra. To achieve the natural, beach wave, Ibarra recommends creatively using a new ceramic styling rod. “Enzo Milano’s new styling rod is my personal favorite to create these loose and natural waves that will last a couple of days,” notes Ibarra. She also suggests separating your waves and curls by using a very soft wax and styling products that your professional hair designer can recommend for you. “Place a small amount of wax on your hand, flip your hair over in the front and pull product through from underneath to create texture with layered looks. Flip hair back and let it naturally fall into place. This will provide you with wonderful volume and separation in the waves to give it that effortless glamour.”
Natural Summer Hair color Ibarra suggests that you talk with your professional hairstylist about all of the new summer hair color and highlight options that are available to you. Explore lightening your hair, while working with warmer tones. “For brunettes, I recommend hair color shades of the sunset with both golden and amber tones. This will brighten up your complexion for a healthy summer glow. For redheads, use the gold tones as well, yet you should try warm copper instead of cooler red shades. For blondes, you will need to enhance you summer looks with a soft, sun kissed set of beautiful highlights. Talk to your hairstylist about leaving a touch of shadow in the re-growth, to give your hair a glamorous natural look.” Ibarra remains the only American Board of Certified Hair colorist in a 10 mile radius of Downey, CA.
Summer Hairstyles “Many of my clients go on summer vacations and the last thing they want to worry about is their hair. As a hairstylist, I suggest you consider taking advantage of a new Brazilian Blowout service this summer. This hair smoothing service will provide you with totally frizz-free, shiny and effortlessly manageable hair with plenty of body and bounce. It will last up to 12 weeks,” notes Ibarra. For the ladies who have long, layered hair, Ibarra suggests you learn how to create a new faux-bob to keep hair off your neck in the heat. “To create the faux-bob, gather the longer, underneath section of your hair. Then, twist and pin your hair tightly around the nape. Let the longer, top layers fall over the tucked hair to create a beautiful soft bob hair design,” notes Ibarra.
