You might have noticed that this month’s Birchbox has a decidedly summery feel – palm trees and pineapples, oh my! – and what’s the ultimate summer must-have for keeping your hair looking stylish? A hairspray, of course! This month, some of you lovely lot might receive Percy & Reed’s Reassuringly Firm Session Hold Hairspray in your June box (sign up here if you haven’t already!) and three of our staffers are already loving it to keep their sunshine-ready styles in place…
THE FISHTAIL
. Our gorgeous Marketing Assistant, Liberty, is the queen of the fishtail braid – and we think it’s a beautifully-boho look for the summer! Even better? It looks really intricate but, once you’ve mastered the two-strand braiding technique, it’s actually super-simple! Check out our video tutorial here on how to get the look, if you need a helping hand. Percy & Reed’s Reassuringly Firm Session Hold Hairspray is the perfect finishing touch thanks to its ultra-fine mist – it keeps flyaways in place but leaves your braid feeling flexible and looking naturally pretty.
THE BRAIDED UP-DO
Next up, our super-stylish Discovery Specialist, Amina, showed us how she keeps her curls off her face during the summer months with this foolproof up-do! Simply separate your hair into two sections and plait them (we’re talking a simple 3-strand plait, here!) then pin up to the back of your hair using some hair grips. This is a great style for all hair lengths – even shorter styles can attempt this look! Give it some extra hold by misting the hairspray all over your finished ‘do (holding the can about 10cm away). The humidity-resistant formula will keep your style in place come rain or shone!
THE BEACH WAVES
Finally, our beautiful Senior Brand Manager, Emeline, is rocking her signature summer look – beachy waves. A summertime favourite in the office, we think the best way to get the look is by spritzing a salt spray through damp hair or by using hot tongs to create loose waves on dry hair. To add extra volume to fine hair, spritz Percy & Reed’s Reassuringly Firm Session Hold Hairspray from root to tip – lifting your hair as you go and letting it fall through the mist. It leaves behind a seriously strong hold but without any flake or crunch – and you can brush through it easily if you want to restyle later in the day!
