She and I have a very SEXY chat.

Getting ready for summer in the city...

Summer is incredibly rough on haircolor: Sun and chlorine are particularly powerful enemies. Use formulas designed to protect color every step of the way—they really make a difference.

The most flattering ponytail is one that balances volume with smoothness. Use volumizing shampoos, conditioners and stylers before blow-drying, then finish with a bit of shine-enhancing serum for a clean, fresh look.

Salty beach sprays and hydrating texture lotions enhance your natural waves—or help create new ones. Dry naturally or blow-dry with a diffuser.

Just wetting your hair before you get into a pool fills the cuticle with water, so that much less chlorine gets into your hair. Bolster the effect by slicking on conditioner before going in, and use chlorine-eliminating formulas once you’re out.

Shiny hair is healthy hair, whether slicked back and pulled into a braid—or in a free-flowing blowout. Shine enhancers now come built into every step, from shampoo to style.

Offhandedly rumpled and wispy, this look is super-sultry—and practical—especially if it’s humid or windy! We love combing in a little hair oil or a bit of pomade through the ends for the perfect laid-back texture, not to mention an extra dose of conditioning moisture.

Our favorite summer trend can be summed up in two words: "Surfs up."
