Insider Secrets for Your Best Holiday Hair

summer hair tips for your best holiday hair
The holiday season brings back-to-back parties, celebrations and holiday gatherings, so maintaining healthy, beautiful hair becomes more important than ever. Newton Cook, Rodney Wayne’s Creative and Education Director and VIVA Magazine’s Hairstylist of the Year, shares his expert holiday hair insights to keeping your locks looking their best right through Christmas and the summer.

Summer Style Trends: The Bob is Back

“The hottest looks for the upcoming months are all about beach textures and going shorter,” reveals Newton. “We’re seeing a strong trend towards bobs in all their variations – blunt bobs, graduated bobs, and textured bobs.” This versatile shape isn’t just fashionable; it’s perfect for keeping cool during those warm summer days while maintaining a polished look for all your holiday events. Visit your Rodney Wayne stylist to explore how these on-trend styles can be tailored to enhance your individual beauty and lifestyle.

Expert Care at Home

When it comes to maintaining healthy hair, Newton emphasises the importance of using the right products. “Personally, for my early morning gym sessions, I love the Redken Refreshing Curl Mist. It gives curls a perfect zhuzh and refresh without looking like you’ve put in too much effort,” he shares. He also recommends the Redken Hydrating Curl Cream, with its dual benefits: “Not only does it leave curls soft with no crunch, but its heat protection properties make it excellent for bouncy blow waves too.” Newton adds, “All our team are trained to prescribe the haircare to suit your specific needs. To enhance shine and control frizz for all hair types, Kérastase Elixir Ultime is our most popular right now.”

Holiday Hair Care Travel Sets

Don’t let travel disrupt your hair care routine. The Le Voyage Travel Kits by Kérastase offer the perfect solution for maintaining salon-quality hair care wherever your celebrations take you. “You can travel light and still maintain fabulous, healthy hair,” says Newton. “The Kérastase minis mean you never have to compromise on your hair care, even when you’re living out of a suitcase.” Each kit includes airplane-friendly sizes of shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and oil deluxe minis. 

Whether you’re jetting off for the holidays, or giving your glamping trip true glam, these luxurious travel sets ensure your hair stays beautiful and healthy throughout the festive season.

The Treatment Your Hair Needs

Professional treatments can make a significant positive difference in your hair’s health and appearance. Newton recommends the Metal Detox Pre Shampoo Treatment, paired with L’Oréal Absolut Repair Molecular Shampoo and Masque. “It’s a fantastic combination for maintaining hair health,” he advises.

Planning Your Holiday Hair Journey

“The best way to get the most out of your salon visits is creating a hair journey plan with your stylist during the complimentary consultation,” Newton explains. During these informative conversations, you’ll map out everything from colour goals and treatment schedules to timing your refreshes for the season ahead. With the holiday season heating up, booking your appointments well in advance is crucial. “Planning your maintenance through to the end of the holidays ensures your hair gets its well-earned refresh exactly when needed,” he adds.
