If you have semi-tight curls to kinks, then your hair goals this summer should be all about retaining moisture and staying frizz-free with as little maintenance as possible.
Luckily, celebrity hairstylist Nikki Nelms shared three quick and easy protective styles to try with NYLON. Click through to see for yourself.
What’s easier than throwing all of your hair on top of your head? Nothing. According to Nelms, a top knot is the perfect balance of feeling effortless while still looking put-together. “Airy Top knots are chic and versatile. You can give a playful, tousled look with fly-aways and tendrils, or a more conservative look with more structure.”
Nelms notes that this hairspray’s soft hold will keep your hair laid without becoming too helmet-y. “Lightly spray your brush or comb before applying it to your hair. This will create a smooth look, but won't make your hair too hard.”
“The key is moisture,” Nelms said. With your hair in any protective style, you want to keep it as hydrated and moisturized as possible. Nelms recommends applying this oil before doing flat twists.
