The Summer I Turned Pretty has taken over our screens, and while the love triangle is compelling, it's the stunning, achievable hairstyles that have truly captured our attention. Belly's transformation culminates in her debutante ball appearance, featuring a polished low bun that's both timeless and elegant. For a firm, polished hold, especially in the Philippine humidity, start with a strong hold cream gel. To ensure your style lasts all day and to combat "tutchang" or flyaways, finish with a powerful hairspray.
Conrad's medium-length, side-parted hairstyle is the epitome of the "cool older brother" look. To get that textured, lived-in look, a finishing wax spray is a modern alternative to traditional pomades.
Shayla's debutante style is all about drama and sophistication. To create a foundation of soft, airy volume, try the Davines OI Soufflé. For intensive repair and to boost the health of your curls, incorporate the AVEDA Be Curly Advanced Intensive Curl Perfecting Mask into your routine.
As Belly's best friend, Taylor rocks the ultimate cool-girl hairstyle. For that perfect "just-off-the-beach" texture, a sea salt spray is your best friend. Spritz Davines This is a Sea Salt Spray onto damp hair and scrunch to create matte, piecey waves with natural body. To keep your hair soft and your bangs perfectly styled, use a multi-benefit leave-in treatment like Davines OI All in One Milk. Mist it on damp hair before styling to detangle, eliminate frizz (a must for our weather!), add shine, and provide heat protection if you use an iron to perfect a few waves.
Whether you're heading to a special event or just want to refresh your look, these hairstyles from "The Summer I Turned Pretty" offer endless inspiration. Ready for your own glow-up?
