BAGS
OF STYLE!
THE CLASSIC BOB
Has been around since 1920! This versatile style varies from sharp and sleek to
soft and full, with or without a fringe. - Spritz
a styling spray through freshly washed hair.
- Separate
the hair into sections with butterfly clips. Wrap each one separately round a
large bristle brush and aim the dryer nozzle down to shaft.
- If you want to curl the
ends under hold the bristle brush at the ends and spray with hairspray when dry.
Then blast with dryer again to set style.
THE
CROP
Whether
your hair is thin or thick, curly or straight theres a cropped style to suit
you. It looks particularly good though on pixie faces. Its incredibly easy
to look after and can be changed from tousled to sophisticated quickly. Hair should
be highly layered with lots of texture. - Roughly
dry with a hairdryer and fingers using gel or blow-dry spray if you want some
volume.
- Use
separating wax if you want a choppy, spiky look, or glossing serum if you want
to keep it sleek and shiny.
- Have
hair trimmed every six eight weeks to keep style.
THE
LAYERED LOOK
Ever since Jennifer Aniston burst onto our screens layers have become popular
again. Layered looks have been in for a long time now but Jennifers shaggy
sophistication has been one of the most copied hairstyles of all time.
- Use a root lift spray
to add volume and thickness.
- Using
a vent brush to allow a good flow of air, dry sections of hair under and angled
towards the face.
- When
dry, run your fingers through it to avoid the set look and define the ends with
a gel spray or small amount of wax.
THE
MANE
Long,
luxurious locks have always been seen as youthful, sexy and the ultimate in glamour.
Although long hair involves more care time, it allows for all sorts of varied
styles and is often easier to manage than a mid-length style. And think of all
the beautiful ponytail and bun accessories on the market! Colour and shine are
really important on long hair and adding a few layers can make it more interesting.
- Always pay attention
to the condition of long hair, especially if its coloured.
- Use a paddle brush when
drying and dry the underneath first by tipping head forward.
- If hair is long and curly
then its best whenever possible to allow hair to dry naturally. If this is not
possible then always use a serum before drying and a diffuser attachment to avoid
frizz.
- For
a more Bohemian look try plaiting tiny sections randomly and tying thin ribbon
round ends to secure them.
