Somewhere between Parisian nonchalance and windswept nautical lies the French Riviera look. Style out your summer hair with wide bands, loose waves and a je ne sais quoi attitude.
GIRL BAND
Currently having a style renaissance, the Alice band is more than just a device to keep hair off your face. Its appeal can be found in the ‘minimal effort, maximum impact’ beauty camp. When it comes to choosing the right one for you, Adam Reed, UK editorial ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel, says, ‘Pulling one off with aplomb has a lot to do with the hair beneath it. A gentle spritz of hair spray, like L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Pli ThermoModelling Spray [£15.60], will give added grip.’ And try before you buy. ‘There’s nothing worse than a band that slips out of position,’ says Reed.
‘Ensure it sits just behind the hairline and also looks great with your ears tucked in.’ Either slick your hair straight back or ‘rub a little Pli between your hands, then massage it into the baby hairs around the face for a softer edge,’ he says.
