One fashion trend that’s gathering steam is the influence of ‘70s-style—think wide-leg pants, maxi dresses and peasant tops. This summer, ‘70s looks are also making their way to the top.

You'll also notice lots of center parts and triangular silhouettes from that time.” Nick adds, “There’s always the danger of frizz in hot, humid weather, so be sure to prep hair with an anti-humidity cream, oil or serum before drying to lock out the environmental moisture that causes hair to swell.”
