Casual Updos for Summer by Wellaflex
Summer is approaching, and it's time for new, fresh looks and exciting adventures in the great outdoors! Just in time for the hot season, Wellaflex styling expert Sascha Breuer has created two must-have trend styles that will make you look your best, whether at an outdoor brunch or a festive summer party.
"This season's upstyles are absolute eye-catchers," says Breuer. "And the best part: they can be created in just a few steps at home, giving every woman that special flair."
Romantic Braided Style
Playful, feminine, and modern all at once, the braided look enhances femininity and takes years off those who wear it. The intricate sections appear skillfully crafted and add a special, luxurious touch to any outfit.
"Braided styles are always eye-catchers and are especially popular in summer because they keep hair under control during hot temperatures," explains Wellaflex styling expert Sascha Breuer. "This loose, modern variation flatters every woman and is the perfect look for a stroll along the elegant boardwalk." Paired with a pastel-colored outfit, women can highlight their romantic side. In the evening, when worn with a leather jacket, this look transforms into a party standout.
How to style the hair:
To achieve healthy shine and protection from the heat of blow-drying, apply Wellaflex Style & Heat Protection 2-Phase Spray to the hair before blow-drying. The spray, with ThermoFlex Technology, protects hair from heat up to 230°C and nourishes it with extra moisture.
Step 1:
Comb the hair and create a deep side part on the left. Secure the back section with a pin.
Step 2:
Separate three strands at the upper part of the hair and begin braiding toward the right in a loose, classic pattern.
Step 3:
Gradually incorporate more strands to form a French braid, continuing all the way to the tips. Repeat on the left side.
Step 4:
Tease the back section for added volume. Gather all the hair, including the French braids, and braid together. Then, roll the hair into a loose bun at the back of the head.
Step 5:
For a playful summer look, carefully pull out individual strands. Apply Wellaflex Shine & Hold to your fingertips and accentuate the hair. Finish by spraying the entire head from about 8 inches away for long-lasting shine and hold—perfect for the beach or the office!
Beach Waves
The previous braided style can magically transform into effortless beach waves! Simply unravel the braids, shake out the hair, and gently comb through it with your fingers.
Finish the waves with Wellaflex Shine & Hold for a casual, natural look—perfect for a summer party.
Elegant Messy Ponytail
How to style the hair:
Step 1:
For volume and extra texture, spray Wellaflex Instant Volume Boost Gel-Spray into the hair and blow-dry using a Satin Hair 5 Hairdryer by Braun. Tip: Use a diffuser to enhance natural movement.
Step 2:
Tease the roots at the back of the head with a comb for more volume. Fine hair can be improved with Wellaflex Instant Volume Boost Hairspray, which also provides extra strong, long-lasting hold.
Step 3:
Section the hair into two parts at the nape of the neck, and roll them in slightly angled at ear level. Ensure both sections come together at the neck to form a side ponytail—this asymmetrical arrangement gives the hairstyle a modern twist.
Step 4:
Secure the rolled sections with hairpins, ensuring they are invisible. Tip: Use hairpins that match your hair color for a natural look.
Step 5:
Shape the ponytail at the neck and fix the style with Wellaflex Instant Volume Boost Hairspray for flexible volume. This look will last up to 24 hours and can still be easily combed out afterward.
