When it comes to nailing this season’s standout hairstyles, the secret lies in keeping it effortless. Whether you’re preparing for an intimate dinner, catching up with family and friends, or stepping into a grand celebration, achieving a polished look doesn’t have to mean countless products or a stylist on call. This year’s hair trends focus is on simplicity—elegant, wearable styles that are easy to recreate and perfect for any occasion.

Classic beachy waves are getting a polished upgrade this season. Start by brushing through your hair for a smooth base, then blow-dry using a boar bristle brush to add volume. Tame flyaways and smooth the crown with a balm, then apply a finishing cream and tuck your hair behind your ears. Divide your hair into thicker sections, wrapping each around the curling iron for soft, larger waves. Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray and gently brush through with a soft-bristled brush. For extra shine, add a glossing spray to complete the look. Pro Tip: Use a hairspray-soaked toothbrush to tame any flyaways or baby hairs for a flawless finish.

A low, sleek bun is a timeless way to elevate everyday hair into something effortlessly elegant­­­­. Start by smoothing a hair oil from root to tip to tame frizz effectively. Create a sharp parting using a tail comb and gather your hair into a sleek bun for a polished finish. For the perfect parting location, use the centre of the bridge of your nose as a guide. This effortless style adds a touch of sophistication to your daily routine, proving that glamour can be achieved with ease. For a dressed-up touch, wrap a small strand of hair around your hair tie to conceal it. Pro Tip: Use a hairspray-soaked toothbrush to tame even the shortest, thinnest strands.

With voluminous, straight-from-the-salon blowouts and super-shiny hair back in a big way, we spill the top tips for achieving this glossy look at home. Start by applying dry shampoo to the roots, even on freshly washed hair, and use a hairdryer to enhance its effectiveness. For added texture, use a volumizing spray not only at the roots but also on the ends. Smooth lengths and ends are key for a professional finish; follow a two-step process by drying your hair smooth first and then using a tong for movement. Tuck the ends loosely for a polished yet effortless result. Lastly, to add a radiant finish, apply a touch of light, natural oil to the ends, providing a beautiful mirror-shine effect. Consider it your magic in a bottle for a consistently elevated look, whether your hair is damp or dry. Pro Tip: Use a round brush while blow-drying to lift the roots for extra volume, and always finish with a blast of cool air to lock in shine and smoothness.
