COLOR: BRONDE
Style your locks with the season’s biggest trends
This brunette color with a blond glow is all the rage. (Think Jennifer Lopez and Blake Lively’s all-over golden tresses.) Color expert Stephanie Brown says this is a great look for light brunettes. It’s a neutral base color with warm highlights that frame the face and pop through from underneath. Don’t want to go too bronde? “Tell your colorist that you want subtle highlights framing your face and not to the root, so it looks like the sun naturally did it this summer,” says Brown.

STYLE: BRAID
Here is stylist-to-the-stars Ryan Austin’s easy how-to for a fashion-y take on a simple fishtail braid: 1. Part the hair on the side and create a side ponytail with a clear elastic band. 2. Splitting the ponytail into two sections, take a little piece of hair from section one and cross it over to section two. Next, take a piece of hair from section two and cross it over to section one. Do this technique all the way down. 3. Once you finish the braid, tie with a clear elastic band and loosen with fingers. 4. Cut the top elastic band and apply a texture spray.

CUT: BOB
“For the waves, I took 2-inch sections and curled them around a 1 1/2-inch barrel curling iron. Making very clean sections, I curled away from the face leaving the hair straight on the ends. Once you get to the back, I curl every other piece of hair in opposing directions for extra texture.” To finish, he applies a dry texturizing spray.
