High-maintenance hairdos are a thing of the past when pregnancy or toddler patrol sets in during the summer. But you still need to look chic, should a last-minute rooftop cocktails invite come your way.
We checked in with Suki Duggan of the Donsuki Townhouse Salon for some low-maintenance summer styling advice. Below are her tips for time-strapped tresses:
- Grow out your hair during pregnancy, and for fun add long layers around the face — it will not only shape your glowing skin but make you look thinner as well.
- If your hair is fine and straight, try giving your locks more oomph by using a mousse or gel product on damp hair. From the bottom tips of your hair scrunch it in an upward movement and then loosely blow dry.
- The messy side ponytail is very popular this summer. After volumizing your straight hair or soothing your curly hair, pin back the top crown section of your hair, and tease it in a gentle forward manor with a bristled brush. Then take the bottom portion of your hair and loosely pull it back in a low ponytail to the side.
