Glamazons,
I’m having a blast browsing the beauty looks from the Spring 2014 runway shows at New York Fashion Week. I’m a sucker for beauty like the edgy hair looks from Marissa Webb‘s runway show. Not only did she serve up textured updos (and trust me, this isn’t your grandmother’s updo!) but the models also rocked gorg tousled waves.
Linh Nguyen, lead hairstylist for Cutler/Redken Salon created these looks with the “chic rocker girl” as muse. Here’s what she had to say about the look:
“We created two different, yet complimentary hairstyles, (one up and one down) with inspiration stemming from today’s trendy half shaved head and (what I imagined) a modern day Amy Winehouse should look like, as well as played with and developed a lot of texture. Basically, she’s the fun, cool (but nice!) downtown girl everyone wants to hang out with!”
Here’s how to recreate them for yourself:
UPDO
-Spray dry hair with Redken Hot Sets 22 Thermal Setting Mist and Nature Rescue’s Radiant Sea Spray.
-Using a 1 ¼ – 1 ½ inch curling iron, create ringlets throughout the entire head by curling 2 inch sections.
-Re-apply Redken Nature Rescue’s Radiant Sea Spray. Use fingers to twist the hair and simultaneously blow dry in order to create dimension and texture. Loosen up curls with your hands to create a messier look.
-To create the bouffant aspect of the updo, section the hair off at the crown of the head. Working from the back to the front, use a teasing comb to backcomb the entire top of the head. Pull this hair back and secure with bobby pins at the occipital bone. Spray Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Working Spray to hold.
-Tightly comb the hair back along the temples and join with hair at the occipital bone. Twist all hair into a messy chignon and secure using bobby pins.
-Add Redken Hardwear 16 Super Strong Gel along the temples to create a slick look. Using a rat-tail comb, pick the hair on the top of the head to create additional volume and imperfections.
-Finish off with Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Working Spray to keep the style in place.
BEACH WAVES
-Spray dry hair with Redken Hot Sets 22 Thermal Setting Mist and Nature Rescue’s Radiant Sea Spray.
-Using 1 ¼ – 1 ½ inch curling iron, create ringlets throughout the entire head by curling 2 inch sections.
-Reapply Redken Nature Rescue’s Radiant Sea Spray. Use fingers to twist the hair and simultaneously blow dry, in order to create dimension and texture.
-Loosen up curls with your hands to create a messier look.
-Part the hair into an extreme side part. Along the parted side, slick back hair pinning at the back with a bobby pin (hidden under the teased hair). Add Redken Hardwear 16 Super Strong Gel along the temples to create a slick look. To create volume on top of the head, section off the hair on the top of the head. Using a teasing comb working from the back of the head to the front.
-Taking the heavy sided part sweep hair across forehead and lock into the place with three bobby pins at the corner of the forehead.
-Tousle hair throughout to create additional texture and finish off with Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Working Spray to keep the style in place.
Glamazons, are you more of a rocker girl updo or beachy boho waves type? Will you be giving these looks a try?
Ciao Bellas,
