This year’s shade is “high key glam blonde”: the Hidden Crown® X Laura Rugetti collection is the ultimate in California blonde, with Seamless extensions in colors Venice, Sunset, Malibu, Melrose, and Laguna. The perfect summer sun-kissed blondes for beach waves, ultra smooth, long styles, and glossy, polished mermaid waves.
GLOSSY MERMAID WAVES
This year’s mermaid waves are glossy and smooth with volume. More refined and polished than previous year’s waves, this year’s version gives off a more luxe, healthy hair vibe. Both center and side parts are right on trend, as are layers, balayage, and highlights. Think big! The key to the glossy finish is to defeat the flyways: use Frizz Free Serum to lock in shine and conceal split ends.

BRAIDS
Braids have been a summer favorite for several years now: update your braids with these styles with clip ins. Try a few well-placed skinny braids amongst beach waves for a sexy boho vibe. Go for an ultra long, thick braid to combat humidity or second-day hair: the key to this look is to go for maximum length so it grazes your lower back. Amp up fishtail braids with volume to show off summer highlights.
Beach days and getaways are made that much more sexy with double skinny braids amongst loose waves like on @runwayandrosefashion wearing Hidden Crown® Clip In | Dark Ash Blonde Mix with Cool Highlights | #882

PONYTAILS
Summer’s all-time number one go-to for quick and easy glam style. Try it high up with loose bottleneck bangs for a sexy / fresh vibe. Add length and loose waves for a ponytail that moves and can handle humidity. Or go for the celeb’s favorite sleek, snatched up ponytail for work days to date nights. Use Frizz Free Serum and Luxe Argan Oil Heat Protectant to keep hair glossy and smooth.

UPDO’S
This summer’s updo’s are soft and sensual: tendrils, long fringes, and highlights. Dress it up or wear it casual. Use Clip Ins to add volume with custom placement, or a Messy Bun with bungee closure for a super easy one and done.

ULTRA-LONG
Curly or straight, wavy or sleek as long as it’s long - really long. Luxe, long hair down to there, brushing against skin is extra.
