We’re saying yes to Clotilde Courau’s cool quiff updo! A heightened top with slicked out sides will not only level out round-shaped facial structures, it also evokes a hip, avant-garde quality.

How-to:

  1. While hair is slightly wet, apply a volumizing mousse all over…
  2. Blow-dry your mane straight, then blow-dry the front of your hair up and back to exaggerate the volume…
  3. Backcomb the top a bit…
  4. Warm a dollop of styling pomade in your fingers and glide it through the top…
  5. Shape the top into a chic pompadour before gathering the rest of your hair low at the back and doing a French twist.

The faux Mohawk sported by Dannijo models for their Fall 2014 Runway show was the complete antithesis of the highly elegant collection. The fauxhawks are actually disheveled buns that are pulled towards the center. The inspiration came from the designers’  – Danielle and Jodie Snyder – penchant for both boxing and ballet. Ferociously cool, huh?

First thought: How much does that weigh?! In all its massiveness, we have to admit that the elegant factor of the hairstyle is still very much evident just like the 2014 fall collection of Carolina Herrera. The hair is neatly slicked back into an intricate high bun, with a wide section (5”) wrapped around it. If you lack the length in order to achieve this hairstyle, use extensions or a faux bun. Fake it ’till you make it!

If you’re looking for a fancy, formal updo to wear to prom, but you don’t have the time or money to go to the beauty salon, then look no farther! This is the hairdo for you. Braided buns are very easy to create and look very elegant. The updo may appear complicated, but anyone can do this! Begin by dividing your hair into 4 sections vertically. Braid each section and twist each section into a bun. Secure with pins. Allow curly tendrils to hang loose around the face.

A texturized twisted updo is such an elegant-with-an-edge hairstyle. It is definitely something brides should consider saying ‘I do’ to. You want it? You got it! Here’s how:

  1. Prep hair with a texturizing cream that’s light weight and also has a shine-boosting property…
  2. Curl 1 1/2” sections of a thoroughly air-dried hair using a medium size iron clamp…
  3. Do a center part until the nape once hair has cooled down…
  4. Twist one side from the front until the nape. Do the same to the other side…
  5. Join the twisted portions at the nape with an elastic…
  6. Coil the tail end all around the elastic to hide it then secure with pins. Flowers, crystal hair pins, and all that jazz are optional but are very much appreciated.

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!

Katharine McPhee’s brunette hair is styled in a trendy faux bob hairdo. Celebrities like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry love the faux bob. Girls with long hair can experiment with a shorter look without chopping off their locks at the beauty salon. Faux bobs look best on girls with long layered hair. To style, create messy waves with a styling product, a diffusing hairdryer, and lots of scrunching. Then, tuck the longer layers of hair under in the back leaving the top layers loose. Fun, neon-colored hair barrettes make the look playful and flirty.
