Aqua Trends for Long Hair (2)
Previous pageStep 2: Slightly tilt your head to the side and thoroughly dry your hair against the direction of its growth. Don’t use a very hot setting and smooth through the hair with your fingers now and then – this gives it a light texture and preserves the moisture content of the hair.
Step 3: To get soft water waves, roll the hair on large heated curlers. Make sure the individual strands are not wider than the curlers. Once completely cooled off, remove the curlers from the hair and gently shake it out. The flowing wave effect develops by brushing out the hair with a soft brush.
Sascha Breuer’s Pro Tips for Perfectly Nourished Hair full of Shine and Moisture
Hydrated hair is the best foundation for every style because a good balance of moisture strengthens the hair's resistance and securely protects it from the damaging effects of the environment. Styling is easier, lasts longer, and the hair has a healthy shine."A glossy mirror-like shine is a must with the new aqua trend looks," knows wellaflex Styling Expert Sascha Breuer. "For this, the moisture balance of the hair needs to be right. Otherwise, the hair reacts too much to changing effects from the environment and dries out or becomes frizzy." The top stylist reveals his best insider tips for perfectly nourished and protected hair for wellaflex.
1.) Healthy ends are indispensable for naturally flowing hairstyles. This is why the ends should be trimmed and nourished regularly, especially with long hair. Shoulder-length cuts should be avoided altogether since the tips touch the shoulders and quickly dry out and become stressed due to the permanent mechanical strain.
2.) The right care can make long hair a true eye-catcher. Hydration plays an important role in this. Only with a balanced content of moisture can long hair be styled into great, trendy looks. I recommend using light hair care products that don't weigh the hair down and give it intense moisture without leaving an oily film. For stressed ends, an additional intensive treatment can be applied, but it should only be applied to the ends.
3.) Next to care, the right styling products are essential for lively looks with a rich shine. Styling products can provide additional moisture to the hair and protect it from damaging environmental influences.
The Hydro Style series by wellaflex is my absolute favorite for naturally strong hair full of shine and life: the hydro active complex in the hairspray, mousse, and blow-drying spray provide intense hydration and coat each hair as a protective layer.
This way, the hair is protected from moisture loss and environmental effects until the next shower and retains a healthy shine. The style always stays flexible and reliably holds up all day long.
4.) To protect the hair from a strong loss of moisture during blow drying, you should always use a mousse or a blow-drying spray and make sure to use the correct blow-drying technique. Many women blow dry their hair over their head because it is quick and easy. Unfortunately, this can overly dry out the ends and the style can look frizzy and without shine.
A better and gentler way is to tilt the head to the side and start at the roots to dry the hair in sections against the direction of its growth. In the end, blow dry strands over a round brush into shape or just loosely style with the fingers. This is how natural volume develops without unnecessarily stressing the hair. The blow dryer should be adjusted to high air output and low heat to avoid pulling too much moisture out of the hair.
