Game, Set, Match: How Ayan Broomfield Serves 3 Effortless Hairstyles

Tennis player, Ayan Broomfield, is no stranger to serving — whether it’s her game or beauty looks, she somehow aces it all and we needed to know more. We caught up with the Canadian, who has been playing tennis since she was just three-years-old, to learn a little more about her life, career, and of course, her incredible hair.

Let’s start at the beginning. Broomfield played tennis all throughout her childhood, then competed on the women’s tennis team in college and there, won a national championship. While her passion is on the tennis court, you can find Broomfield making waves on social media with her chic style and entertaining “day in the life” vlogs.

A typical day for her can never actually be considered typical because of the ever-evolving nature of her career and lifestyle. “I travel almost 80% of the year, so I am always on the go,” she says. “While I am on the road, I try to make sure that I at least check off my essentials: Whether that be tennis practice, carving out at least two hours to complete content, or attending one of my boyfriend’s professional tennis matches.”

One thing that does remain typical in Broomfield’s life is her long, gorgeous hair. “My natural hair has been through many transitions with treatments and color,” she says. “I’ve experimented with various things and finally found what works for me. Bouncy blowouts are definitely my go-to because they are simple, quick, and versatile.”

When you travel all the time, you tend to pick up some tricks that make thriving away from home easier and Broomfield has learned that bringing the right styling products is key to managing her hair. Her best product match? Bumble and bumble’s new Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Long Last Styling Cream. In addition to hydrating, smoothing and boosting shine, the cream offers heat protection (up to 450 degrees) and locks her styles in place for up to three days which is a major benefit for someone always on the road.

“Having a product with three-day style retention is such a huge benefit because I try to keep my blowouts as long as possible,” she says. “I lead a very active lifestyle and love the fact that I don’t need to completely restyle every time after I play. This product saves me so much time and effort.”

Ahead, how the Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Long Last Styling Cream helps Broomfield win in every scenario — whether she’s at a lunch date, practice, or in the stands — and helps keep her hair going strong even days later.

Game... set... match!

GAME

Day 1: Loose Waves For Lunch Date

To set herself up for good hair days ahead, Broomfield works a dab of the styling cream through freshly washed hair before drying and styling — in this case, it’s touchable, cascading waves sculpted with a curling iron, and then brushed out. “When I am going out for lunch or dinner, I love a blowout or soft waves,” she says. “It’s such an easy and elegant style that can be executed time and time again. The style doesn’t distract but adds a nice touch.”

By using the cream on wet hair as her first step, she can count on at least three days of style retention, thanks to the formula’s (6x!) hydration, and unlike other stylers that can weigh hair down, Broomfield loves its lightweight hold. The heat protection from her tools also give her confidence that she’s not damaging her hair in the process.

“The styling cream works amazingly well on my hair and with any style that uses heat,” she notes. “My number one tip when using the cream would be to only apply what’s needed. A little goes a long way!”

SET

Day 2: Bouncy Ponytail For Tennis Practice

For matches, keeping her hair off her face is critical, so she simply restyles from the day before. The styler from day one still keeps flyaways in check.

“I love a high ponytail or high bun when I’m really getting into a match,” she says. “Having my hair tied up and out of my face is my number one concern. It also looks really cute swinging around when I am playing, so that’s a plus!”

MATCH

Day 3: Sleek And Shiny For Tennis Tournament Day

On day three, Broomfield’s smooth hair is still going strong, even after a sweaty practice, thanks to the HIO Styling Cream’s frizz control benefits. For tournament day, Broomfield opts for a sleek and straight look, and her hair is still giving major shine.

“When I go to a tennis tournament, my hairstyle always depends on the weather,” she says. She shares that there have been situations where sitting in the heat after styling her hair has made her realize she’s made “a few horrible decisions.”

“It was NOT pleasant, but I’ve learned from those situations,” she says. “Fortunately, this styling cream helps protect against humidity and helps my style last longer.”

All this to say, the versatility of Bumble and bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Long Last Styling Cream is unmatched, as shown by the powerhouse that is Broomfield. And if the cream can hold up to her whirlwind days, it’s probably safe to assume it’s already a perfect match for you.
