Sally Brooks style - Hot summer hairstyles
\'If your hair is long, tie the back into a low-slung knot. Try to keep the hair off the nape of the neck. For shorter, or shoulder length hair, daytime styling couldn\'t be easier. A loose low-slung ponytail, with slight volume on top, achieved by light backcombing, will transform your look to that of a pouty young Bardot!\'

Zig-zag it

Zig-zag style - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Disguise colour regrowth with a zig-zag parting instead of a straight one It\'s a short-term fix for when roots are starting to show and breaks up that tell-tale block of darker colour so it\'s not so obvious.\'
Steven Goldsworthy for Goldsworthy\'s, Swindon (01793 523817)
Blondes have more sun

Lisa shepherd - Hot summer hairstyles
\'It\'s quite a common occurrence for blondes to go brassy in the sun and to combat this you need to put the tone back in. Using a blue violet pigmented shampoo such as Schwarzkopf\'s BC Hairtherapy True Silver Shampoo, £7 will reduce any yellowness caused by pool or sun damage with a neutralising cool silver tone.\'
Lisa Shepherd, UK Colour Consultant, Schwarzkopf Professional
Pump up the volume

Cobella - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Avoid limp summer hair syndrome by adding serious lift at the roots. Inject extra volume by spritzing wet hair with Cobella\'s Mega Volume Styling Spray, hold your hair upside down and blast with you hair dryer until it is all most dry.\'
Anestis Cobella for Cobella salons, London

Clipso style - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Plait your hair first thing in the morning for a look that\'s cute and cool – when you go out the evening simply take the plaits out and shake for masses of fantastic waves. Add some texturising product and you can go as wild as you like! If you prefer more defined waves, stroke a small amount of serum through the mid lengths and ends.\'
Terry Calvert for Clipso Group, Watford (01923 250901)

Chris Munt updo - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Create a simple stylish up-do by twisting a loose pony tail into an untidy, sexy bun which exudes Sixties retro. Alter the look by fixing either high on the head or low in the nape of the neck.\'

Charlotte Murray style - Hot summer hairstyles
\'To achieve a much more rippled effect than just loose waves twist hair into nine sections, braid the sections together in groups of three resulting in three plaits. When dry rake through with fingers only.;

Ben White at Fordham - Hot summer hairstyles
\'If you\'ve got dark hair and some stray grey re-growth is coming through, brush on some mascara to cover up the roots until you have time to get them done.\'

Blonde ambition

Rae Palmer blonde - Hot summer hairstyles
\'If you\'re blonde, talcolm powder is a great budget way to hide greasy roots or re-growth. Just massage into the scalp and brush through – it adds real texture and smells great too!\'
Rae Palmer at Rae Palmer Hairdressing, Southsea (023 9242 6622)
Hot bun

Anne Veck bun style - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Up-dos will still show split ends, but anything where the ends are tucked in or under will look great. Give hair a good blow dry and use a shine serum so it looks nice and healthy before securing into a bun, low chignon or similar.\'
Anne Veck for Anne Veck Hair, Oxford and Bicester (www.anneveckhair.com)
Fringe benefits

Craig Coates fringe
\'If your hair is long enough at the front, hide re-growth by taking the front section of hair and pinning it on top of the head into a little quiff. An alternative is to pin several small twists into the hair to blend into the roots.\'
Craig Coates at Craig Coates Hairdressing, Norwich (01603 618 968)

Michael Barnes hairstyle - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Give lank, sun-stressed locks volume by using a conditioner containing carbohydrates to pump up the hair for fantastic body. Boost the effect by placing straighteners at right angles to the scalp, then bend the hair down in a smooth motion to lift the roots.\'

Catwalk kudos

Adee Phelan curls - Hot summer hairstyles
\'Don\'t stress over perfect plaiting – nothing says summer like slightly irregular and casual. Begin by damping hair down with a shine spray to subdue any flyaway strands and keep braids firm and workable. A pair of plaits looks young and cute, a single braid hanging down your back or looped under is clean and neat looking, and a braided hairline taken from a low side parting has real catwalk and celebrity kudos.\'
