August is flying by, and somehow it’s almost time to send the kids back to school. This means families everywhere are back to juggling busy, hectic mornings — packing lunches, picking outfits, and doing everyone’s hair.
Kelsey B., an advanced designer at our Apple Valley salon, is always on the lookout for easy hairstyles that look great, stay put, and don’t take forever to do.

“For my boys, we usually keep the sides short and leave some length on top. Then, I can style that into the ‘fluffy’ look they love,” Kelsey says. “My gol-to combo is Bumble and bumble’s Texture Cream for hold and definition, finished with a mist of Does It All hairspray. The result is a little messy and a little polished. Just right for school.”

Kelsey’s daughter likes to switch up her looks depending on the day. “We rotate between leaving her hair down and curled or adding bubble braids, sometimes both,” she says. “Bubble braids are such a fun, easy upgrade to a simple style. No matter what we’re doing, Bumble and bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer is a must. It protects her hair from heat and UV rays, and it makes styling a breeze.”
As back-to-school season picks up, we hope you give one or all of these ideas a try!
