Jessica Galvan is stylist to some of the hottest celebrities today. Just a few weeks ago, all eyes were on Jessica's work when Amanda Bynes emerged from her salon with a new brunette look.
Jessica is also responsible for the cut, color and creation of Victoria Beckham's "Pob." Women young and old are mimicking Victoria's look.
Whether you have long hair like Amanda or short hair like Victoria, you can have super sexy hair. Jessica Galvan was kind enough to share with us some of the hottest ideas in hairstyles and haircare for the summer.
In haircuts, we are going to see asymmetrical bangs and necklines. If you are looking for new ways to wear you hair up this summer, Jessica Galvan recommends mixing braids in with your hair down like Lauren Conrad from "The Hills" or Jessica Simpson. You can do this with straight or curly hair. You can also mix braids with a pony tail.
Jessica offers another tip for wearing your hair up - tiaras or headbands. You can use these hair accessories with your hair down or with a ponytail.
"For something a little more sophisticated, set your hair in finger waves and then put it up, like Christina Aguilera, for a more 1920's look."
And always remember to protect your hair from the sun and chlorine. Wear a scarf or wear a protective spray with SPF. Redken has a great line of products to help combat UV damage (UV Rescue by Redken). These products will keep your hair safe if you want to wear it down when you are in the sun.

Get your hair cut every six to eight weeks to keep in healthy and smooth. If you use hair color, get your roots touched up too.
Don't shampoo daily. Overshampooing can strip your hair of its natural oils. If possible, shampoo your hair every other day.
Blot dry instead of blow dry. If you aren't in a hurry, avoid the blow dryer and blot dry you hair instead. Don't rub, which can cause damage.
