Pretty, polished ponies; voluminous, bouncy curves, and edgy, rock-n-roll short hairstyles comprise three of this summer's top fashion hairstyles trends, according to a celebrated hair stylist. After perusing carefully the fashion shows in Tokyo and Milan, notable international ad campaigns like Gucci and Chanel, and high-impact celebrities like Pink, he concludes, "Today's hairstyle cuts are always meant to be changed. Adapt them to your at work and personal goals. That, I believe is the best way to look at beauty."
Pin-Up Girl
40's pin-up models like Betty Grable balanced perfectly between sex appeal and girl-next-door , and that's the overall effect of this hair trend, says the artist. Start with soft body, created with a handy roller set, then brush through with a firm brush to loosen the curls. Next, gently pull the top portion of the hair to the top of the head and secure loosely with plenty of volume on top.
Tip: prepare hair for roller sets with professional hair products that gives hair "grip" like K-PAK Thermal Design Foam. "This product is one of my favorites" says the artist. "It contains a mild setting agent that gives you hold, but it also lets you style the hair." If hair is fine and needs even more "bite," try Texture Spray. It's lightweight, so it won't cause fine strands to collapse, but it provides plenty of style support. "Feel free to layer it on," adds the artist, "if you need more style strength."
Up and Away
"Many runways right now featuring stylish yet simple hair cuts", said the art director . "When the hair doesn't crowd the face," he says, "it quickly creates a fresh, young, youthful, 'I slept well' effect. Whenever I want to inject some some pizazz to a hairstyle, I lift it off the face" Right now, he loves youthful, groomed ponies and buns, and what makes them particularly modern, he says, is the foundational texture. "Dry the hair so that it's smooth and polished, but with plenty of body and bounce," he advises. "Velcro or heated rollers, or the K-PAK ReconstRx Vapor Iron will a smooth finish that's curved at the ends." Want to know another trendy touch? Use a small tail comb to create a deep side part before gathering up the hair. "Low parts off to the side are totally hot right now", he declares.
