Are you thinking what we’re thinking? Yup! This is very much a wedding ‘do-able! The hairstyle team for the 2014 Elie Saab Spring runway gave a standard gold headband a cool new spin! The sides are covered by wide sections of hair that’s pulled back taut and pinned at the back while the rest of the locks are kept sleek and loose. You can also substitute the gold headband with a diamond or crystal-encrusted one for weddings. Check out this one.

We wonder who else can pull off an out-of-bed-with-a-touch-of-cuteness hairstyle better than Elle Fanning. The Maleficent actress’ long blond locks are heavily texturized with one side held tight by a single barrette. Are you ready to embrace frizziness? Here’s how:

  1. Work a good volumizing product (we like Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam) all over damp hair…
  2. Blow-dry hair with a diffuser to muss it up and enhance natural waves…
  3. Finger comb hair before creating a side part…
  4. Comb the top a bit to make it smooth before clipping the barrette low.

Isn’t she lovely? Before you answer, please bear in mind that we are ready to arm wrestle anyone who thinks otherwise. But seriously, we are going totally crazy for Emma Watson’s look at the Late Show with David Letterman! The gorgeous actress’ caramel brown locks are heavily texturized before being pulled into a messy updo. The crown is slightly poufed, and soft strays flow freely all around her face. The hair, the makeup, the Saint Laurent suit, the woman – perfection!

Yep, blogger Nicole Warne definitely looks good in that long blunt bob, but let us just tell you this: it is not for everyone. Though chic in all its simplicity, the even-edged cut is not too forgiving. Do you have…

  1. An oval-shaped face?
  2. Naturally smooth, straight, and fine strands?

 

If you answered yes to both, save this photo and show it to your stylist then work that blunt bob with attitude!

A high ponytail is a timeless look that’s practical and easy to do! Modify it by wrapping the base with a leather strip just the like the models at Kate Spade’s F/W 2014 show. It will not only make the ‘tail just a tad bit higher, it will also make it fiercer!

A sleek ponytail got redefined during the 2014 Hervé Léger Fall/Winter runway! True to the cutting-edge vibe of the collection, colorful streaks were added to the models’ straightened locks that were pulled taut into a mid ponytail. You don’t have to go permanent to achieve this look. Try clip-in streaks or a temporary hair color spray.

Bibhu Mohapatra’s homage to Tibet run the gamut – from geographic printed ensembles to tribal plaits. Hairstyle-wise, a modernized and funky version of a Tibetan braid reigned supreme at the 2014 F/W Mohapatra runway, and we love it!

How-to:

  1. Prep hair with a smoothening cream for easier styling and to kill the frizz…
  2. Divide blow-dried hair into three sections – left, right, and middle (widest). Secure each section with elastic…
  3. French braid the left and right section until the end. The middle section should be weaved until about 2” before you hit the end. Secure all with clear elastic…
  4. Create a large bun by intertwining the three sections. Make sure that the tail of the middle section is pinned under the bun and the edges untucked.

Fall/Winter 2014 Marchesa models sashayed down the runway with five section cornrows weaved until the ends while the rest of their tresses were kept loose and slightly rumpled.  There is definitely nothing basic with this half-up hairstyle yet the overall look is prim enough to be paired with a minimalist dress.

Another throwback hair accessory that’s recently been revived! Models at the Helmut Lang Fall/Winter show kept their locks away from their faces with the help of the much-loved 80’s coif piece: comb headband.  To emphasize the lines created by the headband, apply a styling cream right after you’ve thoroughly blow-dried your hair to perfection. Do a tight ponytail, and then put on the headband – starting from the front hairline pushing all the way to the crown.

If you’re itching for a subtle makeover, try tweaking a classic! In this case, do a waterfall braid in front instead of the back. Models at Nanette Lepore’s F/W 2014 runway sported a uniquely braided mane that can be easily DIY’ed!

  1. Mist dry hair with sea salt spray for better grip and texture…
  2. Do a deep side part, and then create a 4” section of hair in front – starting at the front hairline to the crown all the way down to the back of the right ear. Clip the rest of your locks to get it out of the way…
  3. Brush the section you created downwards (towards your chin) before dividing it into three sections…
  4. Start French braiding low starting an inch below the front hairline. Keep adding strands as you go lower until you reach the area above the ear…
  5. Secure the end with clear elastic before pinning it and covering it with a thick section of hair.

Gabrielle Union redefined a retro hairstyle by slightly tilting it to one side. Do we love it? With all our hearts! If you’ve got naturally thick and coarse hair, put it to good use by doing a highly sculpted top updo. Just make sure that the sides are slicked out really well to emphasize the contrast. Do give this ultra cool ‘do a try on your big party tah-night!

This…..Is……Fabulous! The gorgeous ‘300: Rise of an Empire’ actress attended the Los Angeles Premiere sporting an angled bob with loads of texture. Effortless waves resulted in a disheveled look that’s far too hip to ignore. A hair product (we like Aquage Uplifting Foam) with a good texturizing power with zero build up is what you need to make this work. Apply a small amount before curling your mane.

If Georgia May Jagger was going for a very modish disheveled hairstyle, we say she nailed it! She’s got a little bit of the Bardot vibe going on but with an identifiable modernity to the style. Feel like re-doing this?

  1. Dirty hair (day-old) is easier to work with when doing updos. It will give the style the ‘grip’ needed to make it last.
  2. Mist hair with a volumizing spray then rough-dry using your fingers.
  3. Curl 2” sections using a clampless iron wand for 5 seconds then release.
  4. Once hair is cool to the touch, pick out thin sections of hair in front and at the sides before gathering the rest into a high ponytail.
  5. Jooge the ends of the ‘tail before coiling it loosely around the base (where the elastic is) of the ponytail, and pin.
  6. Twirl the tendrils a bit around your fingers and you’re done!

This is both intense and interesting, isn’t it? The front section of Diane Kruger’s hairstyle is kept modest while the back is a complete opposite. Thin sections of rope braids were bunched up low at the back; one more plait is placed across her head, making the look a very haute milkmaid braid hairstyle.

Tyra Banks just gave us a little 80’s flashback with her completely crimped (from roots to ends) hairstyle! If you feel like adding a dynamic texture but are too bored of the usual curls, try the crimp! Try a not-so-dated version of this by crimping just a few thin sections or one section (bangs, for example) of your tresses.

Let’s all pause for a moment to revel at how Lupita Nyong’o triumphantly redefined hi-top fade hairstyle. To girlify a hi-top fade hairstyle for a formal event is a feat; quite a difficult one, actually, but she did it with a big bang! Everyone’s BFF at the 2014 Oscars pushed back the tapered top of her short crop with a gold and diamond-encrusted Harry Winston headband. To tame the top, apply a soft hold gel before donning the headband. Well sculpted shaved sides added a clean and cool look to her coif. Perfection!

JLaw sported a perfectly imperfect short hairstyle at the 2014 Oscars.  We love her in any hairstyle, and this is no exception! Copy her ‘do in 3 easy steps now!

  1. Apply a thickening spray on your roots before you blow dry you it completely.
  2. Apply a styling paste all over your mane right after.
  3. Use your fingers to jooge the front and top part of your hair before pushing it up. Flatten the sides and the lower portion of the back.

Extra tip: This hairstyle will work best on one to two-day old hair.

Subdued top and mussed bottom was Kerry Washington’s coif of choice during the 2014 Oscars…..and she still pulled it off with sophistication! Too unfair! A flattened crown will make your face appear rounder and bigger than it is. Counteract that glitch by adding a little bump on top through some root teasing. Pull just a thin section of your hair back and pin them tightly. Tousle the curled ends with your fingers for an unkempt finish.
