Summer can be really harsh on hair; all that sun, fun, and salt water. (Or chlorine.) I’m a bit of a freak when it comes to keeping my hair healthy and shiny, and keeping my natural red from fading too much. I recently chatted one-on-one chat with Frederic Fekkai, and he told me about the inspiration for his Soleil Collection and some of his personal hair predictions.
Some things you might not know about Frederic: He loves to vacation in St. Tropez, mountain biking, flying, and spending time with his young kids. He has a home in the south of France, nestled in the countryside, where he can enjoy great wine, delicious food, and unplug from it all. He says if he wasn’t working in his business, he would still be creating something.
He believes short hair is the next trend to “come back”. He thinks smoother, sleeker hair or soft beach waves with a done/undone look are the looks women universally desire. He thinks the best way to get those soft beach waves are with ceramic hot rollers, a spritz of his new Beach Waves Spray, and a quick toss. (A little Glossing Creme doesn’t hurt either.) The next trend with hair color? Lighter, highlighted pieces camouflaged underneath the hair that catch the light as you move. (No more chunky highlights on the top of your head!)
I tried the new Soleil products: Beach Spray, Soleil Creme, the Hair Fragrance, and Hair Mist, and they all smell so lovely that you’ll feel like you’ve been in St. Barth. They each do something magical for your hair in the harsh summer sun: protect, shine, control frizz, create gorgeous waves, and make it smell heavenly. I was already a devoted Fekkai user, but I can see why these specific products are perfect for those long days in the sun.
I left my hair completely straight for this particular post so you can also see the beautiful Rachael Ryen earrings I scored recently. The beautiful Mother of Pearl earrings are 14k gold overlay and have such a unique shape! I love the freshness of pearls in the summer…you can’t ever go wrong with white. (By the way, Rachael Ryen has 30% off for Memorial Day with code “summer” at checkout, so save a little while you can!)
