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…

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!

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.

  2. Apply a good amount of texturizing powder on your roots for that extra boost.
  3. Tease the top before creating a heavy low side part.
  4. Using your fingers, loosely gather your hair into a low ponytail.
  5. Mist with hairspray to secure the style.
