As summer hits many of us are thinking about a change in hairstyle but deciding what you actually want to do can be a bit of a struggle. Fear not though girls as hair stylist Paul Labrecque, who counts Reese Witherspoon, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Naomi Watts among his clients, is on hand with some tips to keep your style looking summer perfect.

When it comes to picking a new style Paul believes fringes and layers are the way forward. He says: "Choosing a natural looking style that suits your face and personality.Healthy hair that moves is always in style. This summer work with soft fringe and longer layers for movement and a sexy sophisticated look."

Picking the right colour to see you through the summer months is also a big decision too. Paul advises brunettes to go for rich colours and blondes keep it soft: "For brunettes paint on rich brown and caramel shades of colour for a fresh look, for blondes its all about soft beige and honey tones."

"And of course always keep your hair healthy with quality shampoos and conditioners. Follow with light styling products that aren't stiff or sticky and wont dry hair out."

Finally he lets us in on this secret for keeping your hair in tip top condition in the sun. He says: "Give yourself a hot oil treatment while you sunbathe.

"Slick it into your hair and make it into a pony tail and continue to sunbathe or spend the day on the beach. It will not only protect your hair but you will have received an excellent deep hot oil treatment whilst you're out playing. At night shampoo and style your hair as normal."

Let's hope we get some more sun then to try out this trick!
