We’re getting summer ready at Hairtrade so lately we’ve been scrolling endlessly through Pinterest for our summer hair inspiration – check out our Summer Style board for all of our favourites. Right now, we’re loving the beach waves, the long effortless locks and braids, so here are our top picks of styles and products to get the look!

Beach waves: this look is popular every year and it’s easy to see why – the tousled, effortless hair has the laid back style of summer that we all love. Little do other people know is that sometimes this look actually takes extra effort if you haven’t got naturally wavy hair!

Our top pick for this look? Salt Spray. Our favourite at the moment is Tigi Catwalk Session Series Salt Spray. It adds texture, body and volume and creates beachy texturised waves, dishevelled layers like Ashley Olsen and gives braids that boho look. Spray some in your ponytail too for extra volume and texture.

Frizz Free: Not exactly a hair style, but it’s something a lot of us suffer from on holiday. Humidity can even make you straight-haired ladies go frizzy.

Our top pick to combat frizz? Moroccanoil Frizz Control. Whether your hair is dry, curly or straight, Frizz Control is a must for all hair prone to frizz. It eliminates frizz and controls static in any weather. Its weather-resistant properties weightlessly safeguard hair keeping it smooth, calm and manageable. Simply spray 3-5 pumps on damp hair, comb through and style as usual or let it dry naturally.

Ombre hair: Another firm favourite of ours, the ombre trend is set to stay another season and we love the beachy blonde ends on our hair, taking inspiration from Lauren Conrad. To save you dying your hair, opt for clip in dip dye hair extensions. This quick length piece is great for adding in that ombre colour with ease on holiday and you can add in as many as you wish. They’re also great to add in to make your braids thicker and longer.
