While some trends disappear forever, others wash ashore again and find a second life: “<a href=/articles/2013/07/surf-video>surfer</a> hair” is back in style thanks to stars like <a href=http://www.gq.com/story/zac-efron-bleached-hair-grown-out target=_blank>Zac Efron</a>. But before you make any snap judgments, know that there are no puka-shell necklaces involved this time, and that this <a href=/articles/2015/06/hair-color-for-summer>beach-friendly look</a> comes with less maintenance than 2015’s grey-hair-dye trend (as in, your hair won’t accidentally turn purple).For the most flattering results, go for highlights instead of an all-over dye. “I’m a fan of contrast and for that, highlights are best,” says Vaughn Acord, stylist and founder of <a href=https://www.v76.com/ target=_blank>V76 by Vaughn</a>. “What’s also great is that they will be enhanced while you’re outside in the sun.”The contrast from these highlights will add visual texture to your hair. This is a key component of the style, as is the gritty sea-soaked texture that one gets from a dip in the ocean. To mimic this effect at home, Vaughn recommends a <a href=http://www.randco.com/sprays-oils/rockaway-salt-spray.html target=_blank>sea-salt spray</a> or a <a href=http://www.v76.com target=_blank>hair tonic</a> to add separation. His other secret? Ditching the comb. “Use your hands, as combing can calm hair and kill any texture,” he says.If you’ve got thick, unruly hair, try a small dollop of <a href=http://www.v76.com/creams-gels/conditioning-gel-flexible-hold.html target=_blank>conditioning gel</a>for sturdier hold, or a <a href=http://bit.ly/29u5P6s target=_blank></a><a href=http://bit.ly/29u5P6s target=_blank>light cr</a><a href=http://bit.ly/29u5P6s target=_blank>eam</a> if you want it wind-swept. Guys with less finicky hair should stick with a <a href=http://www.v76.com/waxes/tex-texturizing-paste.html target=_blank>texturizing paste</a>, which will make the style look fuller. Again, use your hands, not a comb.As for hair care, use nourishing shampoo and conditioner. <a href=/articles/2016/06/co-washing-your-hair-with-conditioner>Condition</a> daily—this will still remove grease and product buildup—and shampoo every second or third day if you can manage. Since shampoo strips hairs of its natural oils, it’s hard to get that perfect texture and separation if you wash it daily. On those in-between days, use a <a href=/articles/2013/01/dry-shampoos>dry shampoo</a> to nourish the hair while absorbing any excess grease. The key here is to use products that strengthen and moisturize the hair instead of drying it out.If you want to take your hair-care regimen one step further, invest in a <a href=http://bit.ly/29u6e95 target=_blank>color-preserving shampoo</a> and <a href=http://bit.ly/29vlNd1 target=_blank>leave-in conditioner</a>. They’ll slow any fading effects, and will fortify hair that is weakened or damaged by the dye.And guys, let a professional do it. (Seriously, do not try any lemon-juice lightening concoctions or some type of over-the-counter sun-in product.) A stylist knows what shade to give you, how to apply it, and how long to let it set. There are too many variables to try this at home and expect anything presentable.
