Leading Sydney-based hairstylists Poppy Amelia and Aisling Mulcair have revealed some of the best tips and tricks to look after your hair in summer and the products and treatments you need to beat things like frizz.
The pair, who are the co-founders and creative directors of KOHAUS in Bondi Junction and have years of experience between them, tell nine.com.au they have a passion for “creating hair that feels considered, personal, and effortlessly wearable.”
Considering a lot of Aussies spend time at the beach over summer and deal with extreme heat, Poppy recommends products that offer sun protection, like the Kérastase Paris Soleil range, and products like Keune’s Smooth Operator serum and Climate Control spray to help fight frizz and humidity.

Their salon is a Keune salon. Poppy also recommends the brand’s ”smoothing treatment”, nanoplasty.
“It’s become one of our most popular services,” she says.
“Many of our clients choose to have it done at the start of summer to keep their hair smooth, manageable, and healthy throughout the warmer months.
“Alongside this, we always recommend using products specifically designed to control frizz.”

“It helps create a barrier against salt and chlorine and prevents dryness and colour fade.”

Poppy also recommends “investing in a high-quality hair mask or leave-in conditioner,” for healthy hair all year ’round.

“For those looking for an effective option at a more accessible price point, the My Organics Goji Miracle Mask is a great alternative, without compromising on performance.”
