Braided Bangs: Your Bohemian Summer Look

The disheveled elegance of beatnik braids continue to suffuse fashion and beauty trends. From halo to headband, French to fishtail, all kinds of elaborate entwines are being worn on the runway and the street. But the complexity of making these looks is off-putting for some, so here’s another option: A side-swept braided fringe. One of the best –– and easiest –– ways to adopt the trend, this insouciant look captures the beachy and bohemian aesthetic, keeps hair off the face on hot days, and can be worn in a variety of ways, as seen in the collage. For our tips to adding this simple and chic style to your arsenal, click notes.

 Step: Towel-dry hair to damp. Separate your bang section and mist set and style spray into bangs. Blowdry them completely. Now mist them with dry shampoo; tousle and shake with hands for a nice gritty texture, perfect for braiding.

Step: Separate bangs into two or three strands –– two strands is simpler, three strands makes more detailed patterns. Wind the strands over and under each other to create a basic but beautiful braid. Take fine sections if you want a slender twine, take thicker sections for a chunky braid. Use a clip or bobby pins to fix braid into hairstyle. 

Step: The rest of your hair can be styled as you like it. Wear with waves for upmost bohemia; sweep into a sleek upstyle to add drama to your free spirit; or make hair straight to create contrasting elements.

Forever Changing

Varying their choices from month to month; meet some of fashions hair yoyo's 

Switching from glam to grunge on a weekly basis.

Rihanna has a catalogue of stylistic tricks up her sleeve.

A cropped Riri scrubbed up nicely in a demure white gown for this year's Met Ball; and then ruptured this sleek image with a catalogue of almost entirely male shirts and low slung shorts for her recent 777 tour.

While Kelly Osbourne 's shift away from her lengthy teenage grunge phase deserves an essay in itself, the reality TV starlet still seems to be finding her fashion feet. August 2016 saw a scruffy-haired Kelly while September shifted to a no-nonsense, top-knotted attempt at high fashion, with Tim Burton's Willy Wonka shades on for good measure.

The lyrics of Nicki Minaj' s 2016 single 'Va Va Voom' have certainly got under the singer's skin; or in the mind of her stylist, at least. From just September to October this year, the singer embraced a whole colour palette of neon and bubblegum hues in her hair. Long may she never find muted shades.

Seeing Red...

Red is defiantly the new season color in Hollywood with many of the stars turning to warmer rich shades of red.

Lindsay Lohan stepped out in her new red hair in early October claiming that it's actually the wrong color than it's supposed to be, although see has obviously decided to keep the color stepping out again at the premiere of her new film "Liz & Dick" with soft red curls and an ivory slip dress that left little to the imagination. 

Snooki from Jersey Shore is also seeing red...She has just dyed her usually dark hair a bright shade of red. 

And Snooki ensured she showed off her distinctive locks to full effect, by teaming sporting a matching pair of leather trousers.

The Jersey Shore star teamed her tight trousers with a black jacket and floppy felt hat as she promoted her new perfume Snooki Couture. 

Always red our own Sarah De Bono is still sporting her infamous red locks with her recent social media uproar.

Sending Shockwaves To Chanel, Kiera Knightley’s Tousled Bob

Concerned by the “overtly sexual” nature of Chanel’s new fragrance ad, prim parents in the UK got the Advertising Standards Authority to ban the commercial from running during children’s programming. Such a shame because they are missing Kiera’s gorgeous, vintage bob. With a whimsical, lightweight, flouncy feel it’s been cut to the nape to build structure and elevation, which heightens the impression of volume. We love how the softly tousled side-sweep drifts elegantly across her eye line, while the length, draped off her sculpted cheekbones, is perfectly placed to frame her pretty face. For tips to creating your own version of the Kiera’s look:

Step: Ask your stylist for a modern interpretation of a vintage bob. Go for a side-swept fringe to draw attention to eyes; get layers to keep it soft and bouncy; and have it hang off the cheekbones for the perfect face frame. If you don’t think your cheekbones can handle the attention, wear it longer. Chin length also works well.

Step: For styling, apply KEVIN MURPHY BODY BUILDER at roots and KEVIN MURPHY FULL AGAIN to the mid-lengths and ends of damp hair and blowdry with LATTOUF ROUND BRISTLE BRUSH for root lift, shape and movement.

Step: Apply mid-lengths and ends with YOUNG AGAIN  Now use a curling iron or wand to softly curl random pieces for a romantic, whimsical finish.

Step: Mist finished style with SESSION SPRAY SPRAY for hold and texture. Using hands, tousle into perfectly imperfect shape.

Dry Shampoo The Modern Women's Style Weapon...

We’re still waiting for Prince Charming to rescue us from the tower, but at least we can count on dry shampoo. It rescues us from that most wicked of crones –– the time-consuming beauty regime. Battling the 6:00am conference call, power lunches, and late night Pilates is leaving us tired and grouchy, not pretty and witty. Further, the latest beauty buzz is that daily use of detergent shampoo strips hair of too much sebum, the natural oil that keeps hair shiny and supple. Luckily, innovators in hair care made dry shampoo a noteworthy go to –– a water-free way to freshen hair, soak up excess oils, and remove buildup. Either in aerosol, dust-on, or shake-on form, the starch or silica based formulas bequeath longer life to hairstyles and less trips to the shower. Dry shampoo is not only an oil-absorbing weapon, but an amazing styling aid, creating texture and volume –– perfect for the tousled and undone beauty looks currently trending on this blog and beyond. For the dos and don’ts of dry shampoo:

Do: Shake can vigorously –– the ingredients need to be bounced around –– and be at least 8-10 inches away from root when you spray. This technique evenly distributes product without buildup.

Don’t: Leave it in. Dry shampoo needs to be brushed out. As you brush out, the dirt and buildup will be removed, leaving you with cleanliness, texture and volume.

Do: Layer into hair creatively. Lift hair up and get into the underneath, sides and back.

Don’t: Put onto sopping wet hair. It’s called dry shampoo for a reason.

Peeking Pastels

In this image, pastel and jewel tones come together in elegantly smudged layers of cool hues. Like the blended finish of a watercolor painting, this vibrant look is bright and clear –– with dazzling shades of violet and blue offsetting sparks of silver and beige. The sophisticated cut has shorter, tapered lengths underneath, which allows the longer strands of the fringe and crown to move with liquid fluidity.
An eye-skimming front lends a playful sexiness to the shape. To get this artful look in a few simple steps, 
Step: Shape and color work together to create this look. Start with an undercut area from temples to nape. This will collapse the hair underneath and provide a backdrop for the surface texture.
Step: Color the shorter undercut in a dark tone and lift the strand on top to a bright cool blonde. Tone the blonde with a platinum shade, then add bright pieces with hair chalk or semi-permanent color.
Step: Use color save shampoo and conditioner to keep vibrancy and prevent color bleeding between the intermingled shades.
