Brittany Ishibashi violated conventional side parting by opting for an uneven one. The result is a casual rendition of a sexy long and wavy hairstyle. The jagged parting created some volume at the crown area. It also made a symmetrical distribution from the top allowing the hair to gorgeously flow well on all sides.

Magnificent is one of the words we can think of to describe this crisscross updo at Jason Wu’s Fall 2013 show. Hairstylist Odile Gilbert was the brains behind this master coif.
Hair was divided into three sections: left, right and middle – the middle being the thickest. The middle portion is gathered into a low bun. The sides are further divided into smaller sections and each section is wound over the bun. The ends are tightly pinned under. A silver barrette is straightened and attached to the bun for an extra pow of a finish!

Lara Stone recreated yet another of the Sixties’ infamous ‘do. Since that great era until today, the heart of this backcomb creation is none other than a hairspray with a strong hold. If you want extra boost, spritz hair with a good root volumizing spray. The product will give your hair enough lift. This will in turn result in less teasing which is damaging to the hair.

Ordinary buns can a bore, we know. That’s why from time to time a tweaked version is necessary such as Ester Heesch’s multi-spiraled version.
Score the ‘do by creating a sleek base with mousse. Part hair to one side, and then do a low-slung ponytail. Apply some gel at the ends to make them more polished. Do a few sections (1/2 inch) of the loose end of the pony and twist each tightly until they bend naturally. Pin each to the base of the ponytail making sure that no stray hairs are seen. Hairspray’s optional.

Well, here’s a funky way to modernize a retro updo! Add a few chunks of temporary blue streaks to your hairstyle using Bumble and Bumble’s Spraychalk in Cobalt. It dries quickly and is not messy. Just create a few sections (1” thick) and spray away! Tease the hair at the crown then loosely twist it vertically and secure with pins. Lift the hair at the top some more for a bigger poof.

This is another braided hairstyle that we highly recommend for formal events and proms! Part hair to one side then separate the front section of the hair from the rest of your mane. Apply gel to the front section and do finger waves by combing the strands thoroughly. Next, shape the first wave by putting a finger at the end of a 3” horizontal section of the front part. Push the hair forward on top of the finger towards the forehead using a fine-toothed comb then remove your finger and clip that part. Do two more waves using the same technique.
Braid the back section until the tip then tie with elastic. Roll the ends inward, towards the nape, then pin. Remove the clips of your marcel waves. Sweep it gently over your ear then clip it on the side of the braid then tuck and clip the end under the plait for a clean finish. Give yourself a pat on the back! You deserve it!
