Summer’s Hottest Hair Trend: The Wavy Shag

If the 80-degree days we’ve had earlier this month were a teaser for the impending summer months, then we’re in for another scorching season.

Whether you opt for wavy bangs or not, achieve that covetable wash-and-wear texture with the newest curl-enhancing lotions and potions in the slideshow above.
