These last few weeks of summer is all about looking good —whether you’re channeling poolside chic or beach beautiful. On Saturday, August 7, 2010, Lavetta Fajardo for Kim Vo Salon at the Mirage took summer beauty to a whole new level, creating this perfectly playful look for Tinsley Mortimer, who was celebrating her birthday at Tao Beach.

How To Get Tinsley Mortimer’s hairstyle:

Lavetta created a playful french braided headband that’s easy to recreate at home — just start the braid at the crown and work across the head until you reach the top of the ear, leaving out the side pieces as you work along.

Then Lavetta added in a slight wave to Tinsley’s face framing layers using a large barrel iron, and finally, finishing with Kim Vo Perfect Polish Dry Serum to infuse shine and help keep frizz and flyaways at bay (ulta.com; $55).
