Summer hair is all about natural movement and playful texture. It’s a celebration of salt, sun and sand (and spritz), with hair reminiscent of long days at the beach and cold, post-swim tipples; slightly windswept, slightly unkempt but beautiful, nonetheless.
With a recent shift from uniformity to individuality on runways, the case for the curl has never been more pertinent. With the heat descending upon Australia, now is the time to embrace your natural curl – curly girl or not. And what better way than in Byron Bay with hairstylist, Joey Scandizzo. The vision for his Eleven Australia shoot was “effortlessly cool, relaxed and underdone,” a mandatory for hair in the heat, and the Australian summer in general.
“We’ve been seeing more and more women embracing their natural hair texture – especially curls. Paired with the right haircut and products, you can accentuate your hair’s unique features.”
For Scandizzo, it’s all about championing what you’ve got. “If you’re looking to embrace your curl, start by prepping hair with an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner. This will make hair more manageable when styling,” notes Joey. “All my curly hair clients want styling products that don’t leave the hair crunchy. Look for creams that provide moisture and without alcohol or setting agents like Keep My Curl Defining Cream. For a tighter curl, apply Keep My Curl Defining Cream on damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser. If you prefer a more relaxed curl, mix Keep My Curl Defining Cream with Miracle Hair Treatment before applying on damp hair and dry naturally.”
But what about those girls who haven’t been gifted natural coils or kinks? “If you haven’t been blessed with great curls, it’s still the perfect time to embrace your natural texture! By using hydrating shampoos, conditioners and a leave-in treatment, your natural style will keep looking fresh.”
This is not about fuzzy, sun-fried ringlets; the emphasis is on movement with a slight polish, a beachy insouciance captured in curls. Here, Joey shares exactly how to get the curl of your summer dreams. Put the Aperol on ice.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK
- Apply Miracle Hair Treatment through damp hair
- Apply Keep My Curl Defining Cream from roots to ends
- Twist hair together in 2 inch sections all over the head
- Allow hair to dry naturally or use a diffuser on low speed, high heat
- Let hair cool down and tip head over, shake out twists with fingers
- Squeeze through a small amount of Smooth & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum to enhance separation and tame fly-aways
