Beach hair typically conjures visions of bouncing tresses crisped by lashings of sea water and a gentle breeze. If, an hour into your holidays, your hair is more Monica from Friends than mermaid, a bit of shrewd pre-planning is a good idea. Recreate the fuss-free waves seen at Adam Selman with a rich conditioning mask the night before and a dollop of oil post-dip, or fake it with sea salt spray.

Fine lines

Skinny brows are back! The proof is on the cover of Vogue, where Rihanna’s pencil-thin eyebrows confirm the return of the 90s. Follow @historyofoverplucking on Instagram for more inspiring examples, from Mariah Carey to the Virgin Mary.
