The warmer months can cause a lot of problems for your hair. Whether you’re swimming up a storm, or sweating up a storm, your hair may be suffering. That’s why we have put together ZALA’s complete guide to summer hair care so you don’t have to stress about dry, frizzy or unruly hair this season!

Summer Hair Care

 

Who doesn’t love a trip the beach or lazy days by the pool in summer? Well your hair may not love these activities as much as you… In fact, excessive exposure to salt or chlorinated water can actually remove moisture from your hair and cause damage to the hair follicle over time. It is for this reason we don’t recommend swimming TOO often, or if you do, try keep you hair up and out of the water. But for those steamy days where you just need to take a plunge, always remember to rinse your hair in fresh water after swimming. This will help remove excess salt or chlorine and prevent damage to the hair follicle!

 

Using a hair serum or deep conditioner is more important than ever in summer! ZALA’s Revive Me hair treatment is the perfect way to add back moisture to your hair if it is feeling dry, frizzy or tangled after a hot summer. This serum has been specially formulated to benefit hair extensions and your natural hair to allow moisture back into the follicle for silky, shiny hair in no time!

 

It can be hard avoiding the inevitable greasy hair that comes with hot and sticky summer days. But overwashing can cause damage over time… So why not try a few styles that will help combat sweat or grease this summer!

Braids are our all time favourite summer hair style – they get your hair out of your way, keeping you cool in more way than one. You can check out our double braid extension tutorial featuring ZALA extensions below:

We also love a high ponytail look for hot days where you might be going out or dressing up! Check out our ponytail application guide below:

Back to School Hairstyles

Ponytail – Three Ways

1. Keep it Sleek 

   

We love super sleek, high ponytails and we know these are the perfect back to school hairstyles for any style queen. Simply pull your hair back into a tight and sleek ponytail, using hairspray to secure flyways if necessary and apply your ZALA ponytail. Then voila! You have a simple and elegant sleek ponytail look.

2. The Half-Up-Half-Down

Using a tail comb, section your hair to create a half up ponytail then apply your ponytail extension! To balance out the look and add length, you can apply a 5 piece set of clip ins to the bottom half of the head. Complete the look with some loose curls using your ZALA Cosmo Curling wand. There you have it, a gorgeous a half-up-half-down look!

3. Side Swept & Braided

For this look you’ll need:

• ZALA Cosmo Curling wand
• ZALA Clip in Hair – 5 Piece Set
• ZALA Ponytail Extensions

Simply the a small section from the front of your hair and split it into three equal parts. Braid the hair by taking each outer section under the middle, grabbing more hair as you go. Continue al the way down the hair and secure with an elastic. Tie into a low side pony before applying your clip in ponytail. To apply, slide the clip into the base of your pony and wrap around to secure the velcro. Continue wrapping the hair around to disguise the weft and bobby pin in place. Create another small brain and secure with an elastic. You can then add loose curls throughout your pony, styling on a low to medium temperature.

Try Braids!

Braids are a super cool way to wear your hair at school. Not only are they super easy to achieve, they are a sturdy look that’ll last you a full and busy day at school Check out our tutorial below:

Want to give your hair chic beachy waves without damaging it with heat? Read on as we show you how you can achieve beachy heatless waves.

Beachy Heatless Waves

Method:

You can achieve beachy heatless waves with ease following these simple steps:

#1: Dampen your hair with water, ensuring all hair is evenly covered.

#2: Split your hair into two sections & create a regular braid on either side. Make sure to pull the hair as tight as possible whilst braiding for the best results.

#3: Once both sides are braided, give your hair another quick mist with water to reinforce the curls.

#4: Wait up to 30 minutes for your hair to dry. Once completely dry, take out the braids and gently loosen the curls with your fingers.

#5 Pro Tip: If you are wearing ZALA Tape In Extensions, dampen your hair with water and braid tightly before sleeping for ultimate hold throughout the following day. Don’t forget to keep your hair frizz free with our 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase available here.

Voila! You now have beachy heatless waves!
