Your Guide To Summer Friday Looks

There is nothing like a Summer Friday. It’s a term that was coined in the 1960s, when New York publishers knocked off work early so that they could make it out to the Hamptons for their weekend festivities. Although you might not be heading to the Hamptons, an early exit on Friday is just what you need to get the weekend off to a great start. And if you want to have a great weekend, you need some great, worry-free hair to go along with it. FHI Heat has the perfect tools to send you from the office directly to happy hour.

Use the KISS method

You may have heard the KISS acronym before, but we like to say that when it comes to hair, it stands for Keep it Simple and Styled. If you just experienced a killer work week, this is no time to spend hours on your hair. The idea is you scoot out of work early in order to play, not to be glued to your mirror and hair tools. That being said, there are some cute on-the-go styles you may already have in your arsenal that can take you to Happy Hour, Friday night date night, and beyond.

Lean into hair products

If you are going from office to late night fun, you’re going to want your hair products along with you to give you maximum volume and shine. Dry shampoo is the gold standard to add a little life and lift after a long day at the office, and it gets rid of the greasy look that comes with a long day, and a long week. Our hair styling gel is also perfect for on the go when you need a quick pick me up. The travel-sized bottle is easy to stash in your car or work bag.

Try a side braid

Even if you have corporate meetings or an important client lunch on Friday, you only need a few minutes to turn your hair from sophisticated to beachy. A side braid is the answer. Beachy or messy, you can use all of your hair or just a side frame at the top to get the look you desire. Start with our High Altitude Root Lift Spray to give your hair a lift at the crown of your head. Working with the hair only at the crown, or your entire head of hair, braid and secure with elastic bands.

Slay a sleek ponytail

A high sleek pony can take you from day to night, so don’t be afraid to wear it to work. We like to use this Unbrush to pull hair up into a high ponytail. The Unbrush reduces tangling and stress on your hair, and will leave you with a smooth look. That’s what makes it the best brush for curly hair - and any other hair type for that matter. It’s thin and aesthetically pleasing enough to store at your desk. Secure your high pony with your favorite hair elastic, and you are ready for happy hour and beyond.

Be bold with beach waves

Beach waves are perfect for summer nights, and FHI Heat makes it easy to create a tousled and sexy look. We recommend applying our Liquid Satin Treatment to your dry hair to tame your frizzies before you start styling. And speaking of style, you can make amazing beach waves with our mini flat iron or mini curling iron. These ergonomic travel tools feature professional-grade tourmaline ceramic and employ negative ion technology to lock in moisture without any frizz. It’s salon-quality packed into a travel tool, making it the best curling iron for an on-the-go lifestyle. You will create smooth, sultry waves for wherever your Friday takes you.

Be ready for anything

With summer in full swing, it is a good idea to be ready for anything. Our mini hair dryer and Express Blow Out Serum travel easily, and if you are headed for a weekend away, they are perfect to fit in your bag. This will give you some play to create different hairstyles over the weekend, no matter where you go.

The Hamptons have nothing on you. With FHI Heat products and tools in your arsenal, your hair will be ready for Summer Fridays, whether you head to Happy Hour after work with friends, or whether you have a fun, flirty date to enjoy. No matter what, take FHI Heat along so that you can be sure to look your best.
