PERFECT SUMMER TRESSES WITH SEEKHAIR

Summer season has officially kicked in, and not only are the ladies back in the gym to work hard on their bikini bodies, but they’re prepping up their tresses as well. Everyone loves and wants to achieve that effortless, just-got-out-of-bed, “beach hair” look that starlets like Blake Lively, Sienna Miller, and Kristen Stewart are sporting. I’ve always been envious with friends who are naturally gifted with wavy, voluminous locks—it seriously looks great with everything, and it’s without a doubt the perfect look to have for summer. It seemed intimidating for me to achieve and maintain this look through the salon, and I basically gave up on the notion—I thought that unless you’re born with it, it’s only futile to hope.

Great news for gals like me who are on the verge of giving up – you now have the option to order your own set of real human tresses from UK-based site SeekHair. Offering a multitude of hair types (straight, wavy, really curly) and hair colours,  SeekHair has different types of cheap hair extensions that suit your preference and usage type. Different options for Clip-Ons, Brazilian Hair, Weft /Weave, Micro Loop/Ring, Fusion/Pre-Bonded, and Tape-In extensions are available. All extensions from SeekHair are guaranteed made from 100% human hair to make sure the weaves looks and feels natural.

SOUTH PACIFIC

Print leads the way in South Pacific: a highbred of contrasting kaleidoscopic baroque borders, animal prints and high octane hibiscus florals are all brought together in a palette of brights. The prints create a stand out presence against a backdrop of deeps plums, worked on silks and patched together with mesh.  Body-con cropped shapes contrast with relaxed t-shirt and shift shapes layered to provide a sporty profile. Pastle coloured denim is mixed with prints worn in a skinny capri length to dress down the look. Jackets are oversized and bomber in shape, reminiscent of rave gear. The bandeau and high-waisted hotpant are key shapes. 

SURF LUXE

Ushering a new direction in sportswear, Surf Luxe brings opulent fabrics and 90’s shapes to SS12. Contrasting colours and top-to-toe tonal dressing mix acid brights with pastel shades.  A grunge feel is can be found in the  high waisted tube skirts worn mid-calf length and racer back vests in soft marl; whilst the classic biker jacket is given a high octane twist  featuring bold prints. Jersey hooded sweats and ponchos in fine nylon offer a directional rainwear cover up. Grown-up joggers in soft silks and leggings are broken up with mesh panels and neat tailoring. The dress is short and body-con in shape worked in neoprene and dazzling engineered organza; embellishment comes in the form of zips while large spotted graphics create interesting juxtapositions. Cut outs along the neck line and on the back provide a figure hugging finish. 

SPRING EQUINOX

Warlocks and folk inspired fairly tales creep through in this softer summer trend. Incorporating festival stylings and anglicized spirits, Spring Equinox focuses on craft detailing. Lace inserts are patched on denim, fluorescent broderie anglaise detailing can be found on lace panelled mid length dresses and paint prints decorate stiff chiffon. Blanket inspired knitwear is made with spaced dyed wool, and comes as a chunky crew neck jumper and a thin-knit vest dress.  Jersey tees are appliquéd and woven to add dimension and are cropped in shape. Celebrate summer solstice in heavily sequinned embellished denim in pinks and peaches which incorporate metallic shimmers.
