Why it's hot now: Those just-been-swimming tendrils are a must-have come summer, giving lengths a windswept look.
"Beachy texture lends a carefree attitude," says Barney Gleeson, of Lee Preston Hairdressing in Perth. It's also the perfect accompaniment to floaty sundresses.
How to do it: "Prepare dry hair with a sea salt spray, then divide your lengths into four equal parts," advises Brad Ngata, of Brad Ngata Hair Direction, Sydney. "Plait each section, then spritz with hairspray and clamp each braid with a ghd styling iron to set the wave." Unravel the plaits and rake your fingers through your hair to separate and define the look.
What you'll need: Encourage a mussed-up texture with a spray, like KMS California HairPlay Sea Salt Spray, $36.95. Set the look with ghd IV Styler, $299.

At night, trade salty lengths for more polish. If you're blessed with curls, wash with curl-specific products, then use a silicone-based option to lock in shape and prevent frizz. Wind each damp tendril around your finger for more definition. For straight strands, use a curling tong on the mid-lengths and ends of dry hair before raking through with your fingers for a soft finish. Try VS Sassoon You Curl, $59.95.
