This summer take a new approach to your hair. Work with your natural texture instead of against it. Here’s how to do it:

Jorge Joao, Redken Artist and stylist at KOI Hair Studio is a huge fan of this hair movement. “It’s huge right now to embrace your natural texture,” he insists. “Use very minimal product and it means less maintenance. The humidity can be our biggest enemy, so take advantage your own texture and use what you have. The less work and artificial tools you use, the better your hair will look.”

Here’s an example of a fun and simple you can still do to your hair, while embracing your natural texture straight from the Charlotte Ronson runway (pictured above): Seriously, it’s only two steps!

Step 1. In morning, embrace your texture by just hitting your hair with blow dryer and paddle brush after shampooing. Use Redken’s Fabricate 03 as a texture spray both before and after blow-drying to create texture. It will help position your hair into place, and give it a gritty feeling.

Step 2. Rub a bit of Redken’s Structure Wax 17 in your fingers and grab random pieces of hair to create little braids throughout the hair. You can put them around the face, or where ever you’d like. You don’t even need a rubber band because the wax and texture spray will help hold it in place.

“The effect we’re looking for is a ‘halo’ of hair around in the head. Got that hazy feel, lived-in hair look,” explains Jorge.

From day to night
You can put in more braids, or create one big braid in the back and twirl the braid into a bun. You’ll keep that natural texture, but you have the detail and texture of the braid. A super easy and chic updo!
