Breaking Down Your Fave Hairstyles From the Summer I Turned Pretty

Posted by Vikky Catabay on August 16, 2022

"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. From Belly's debutante ball elegance to Conrad's signature locks, we'll show you how to get these looks and make them work for the Philippine climate using some of the latest products from HairMNL.

Belly Conklin's Regal Glow-Up

Belly's transformation culminates in her debutante ball appearance, featuring a polished low bun that's both timeless and elegant. This style is perfect for formal events or any occasion where you want to look refined.

The Look: A sleek, tight low bun with a pearl headband.

How to Achieve It:

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. The Davines This is a Strong Hairspray offers a long-lasting, firm hold that locks your look in place without stiffness.
For a quick refresh if you're styling on second-day hair, you can use Davines This is an Invisible Dry Shampoo at the roots to absorb any oil and add a bit of volume before pulling it into a bun.

Conrad Fisher's Effortless Cool

Conrad's medium-length, side-parted hairstyle is the epitome of the "cool older brother" look. It's a versatile cut that can be styled for both casual and more formal settings.

The Look: A medium-length cut with a side part and styled bangs.

How to Achieve It:

To get that textured, lived-in look, a finishing wax spray is a modern alternative to traditional pomades. The Davines This is a Dry Wax Finishing Spray provides texture and definition with a matte finish, perfect for achieving that effortless, "I woke up like this" vibe.
For those with finer hair seeking more volume, applying L'Oréal Professionnel Serioxyl Denser Hair Serum over time can help create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair, providing a better base for this style.

Shayla Wang's Voluminous Curls

The Look: Big, bouncy, voluminous curls.

How to Achieve It:

To create a foundation of soft, airy volume, try the Davines OI Soufflé. This silkening and bodifying foam adds body and shine to your curls without weighing them down.
For intensive repair and to boost the health of your curls, incorporate the AVEDA Be Curly Advanced Intensive Curl Perfecting Mask into your routine. This treatment will help strengthen your hair, making your curls more defined and resilient.

Taylor Jewel's Signature Fringe and Waves

As Belly's best friend, Taylor rocks the ultimate cool-girl hairstyle. Her signature look - soft, beachy waves paired with effortless curtain bangs - is the perfect blend of trendy and low-maintenance, capturing her confident and vibrant personality.

The Look: Soft, lived-in waves with face-framing curtain bangs.

How to Achieve It:

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. It gives you texture without the crunch.
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. It keeps the hair looking healthy, not heavy.
