Having survived that Memorial Day barbeque (working off that corn on the cob and potato salad by spending a little more time on the treadmill), you are more than ready for summer. You put your winter woolies in mothballs, tried on that bathing suit and dug out your favorite flip-flops, but what about your hair? With no more winter hat to hide a bad hair day, what to do with your mane? Bring it to Believe for this year's hottest cuts:
The Bob
Take a page from the Roaring Twenties and try this never-out-of-fashion do. With strong outlines marrying curves and sharp lines, this cut is flattering to all types of faces and particularly works well for women “of a certain age.” You can go asymmetrical with the back shorter that the front and add layers if you like, for volume. Sleek and shiny is the order of the day and this clean cut will have you dancing the night away with never a hair out of place.

The Pixie
Remember fighting against this very haircut when you were five and you got dragged to the salon for a Pixie cut? Well, as in many things, mother knew best. If you have small features or a heart-shaped face or can't stand dealing with your hair over the busy summer, this is the cut for you. Wispy bangs accent the eyes, short sideburns to frame your face, this is truly the wash-and-wear wonder cut for the summer.
The Wave
It's possible Mother Nature gifted you with natural waves—if so, rejoice. Just flip your hair over, spritz if with CHROMASTICS Spray Gel or AESTELANCE alcohol-free Voluminizer, give it a scrunch and off you go. For the rest of us, a short stint with a curling iron and some spray that's not afraid of the humidity, like IDEN Finish Spray and you, too, can have mermaid waves.
The Fringe
We used to call them bangs—but today's hippest hairstyles are showing off “fringes”. From strong lines marching straight across your brow, to short, wispy, spiky, long, flip or those with choppy edges, fringes draw attention to those gorgeous eyes of yours and can even mask a few of those pesky forehead lines.
The Braid
With the hot weather upon us and The Farmer's Almanac promising us a very rainy summer, long hair might seem to be more of a pain, than a pleasure. No need to chop your locks to control frizz and fly-away. Go for a braid. Down your back, off to the side or coiled on top, braids take you from pool party to premiere and can be jazzed up with jewels, feathers and ribbons...giving meaning to a woman's hair being called her “crowning glory.”
Stop by Believe to discuss your new do. We'll help you figure out which cut will flatter your face and match your unique style. We'll even teach you to braid! And while you're here, pick up a supply of products made with Sunflower Seed Oil, a natural sunscreen, to help keep your locks from getting sun damage. We, at Believe are happy to help make this summer easy, breezy and fun.
