Looking good for the summer: hair and clothes
We focus a lot on here about how to keep your body in shape – but that’s really only half the story. We spoke a few weeks ago about how to show off your body to its best advantage in this summer’s trends, and you know all about skin care – but a pretty dress and a nice face can be ruined if your hair is a shaggy mop with no style or shape.
If you’ve got wild hair, you can take some simple steps to improve matters. Firstly, regular brushing – whatever your style – will make it easier to manage and help you to avoid knots and tangles. Secondly, simple acts like tying your hair up in a pony can help you create a ‘frame’ for your face. Thirdly, it’s surprising how quickly time passes: if you haven’t had a haircut in the last couple of months, get yourself to a stylist and have them give you some advice about what kind of style will suit your hair.
A problem for many women (and a few men!) is what to do with curly hair. While there are many styles out there that suit curly hair, increasingly those of us blessed with ringlets and swirls are looking to get a slice of the straight hair look. Even African Americans like Beyonce are going straight in order to get the best styles.
The easiest way to go about this is to invest in some ghd hair straighteners. They cost around a hundred quid, but you’ll know where the money went. Professional stylists recommend them and having tried them out ourselves we think they’re one of the best hair products out there.
Don’t get distracted from the gym in the meantime – if you’ve got good hair it’s no guarantee you’ll look good in a bikini!
