Fall Wave: Classic + Full

As much as we live for beachy waves during the summer, they lack the air of elegance and sophistication that we crave, come fall. Enter, the classic and full waves. These cascading, silky strands have a retro-glam appeal that pairs perfectly with fall’s more structured and refined styles. 

To pull this off, start with parting your hair down the middle. Take a large barreled curling iron, and working in large sections, curl your hair away from your face. Spritz a little hair spray once your remove the curling iron from heat, and repeat around the entire head. Once your curls are set, use a flat or paddle brush to comb them out into these waves. Finish off with a shine serum!

Let’s Be Blunt.

Tired of long layers or fried ends from all those heated styling tools you’ve been using all summer long? Try the blunt cut! This is especially great for women with fine hair because it creates the illusion of thickness. It also elongates the neck to make you look more statuesque, adds movement at the ends, and is still long enough to give you styling versatility.

Fall 2012 Hair Trends
In: Straight waves
Out: Beachy waves

Every year there’s a new adjective to describe wavy hair: beachy, bouncy, bedhead. This year is no exception — except the adjective doesn’t start with a “b.” Pantene celebrity stylist Tippi Shorter is calling this year’s trend “straight waves.” “It’s uniform and polished, but lies flatter — it’s less of a curl,” she says. 

To get the look, Shorter suggests using a spray gel on damp hair and then sleeping in three or four big braids. “Whether your hair is naturally straight or curly, this will change the texture into waves,” she says. “And if you’re in a rush, you can always blow dry the braids.” Once you’ve taken your braids out, use a 1-inch curling iron to define each of the sections even more.

Achieve the summer beachy wave, EASILY.

I love Mary Kate’s wave in this picture.  For the straight haired ladies who can’t get waves in their hair to stay for longer than an hour…here’s the trick…MOUSSE or STYLING CREAM.  Best way to achieve a similar look  is right after the shower.

  • Towel dry your hair really well…apply 1 good press of mousse (I like Phyto mousse). 
  • If you have stick straight hair use bumble+bumble styling cream (dime size amount and quarter size if you have thick hair). 
  • With the product in your hand, scrunch it into your hair. 
  • Get your towel and scrunch it even more into your hair (this helps work the product in as well as dry it). 
  • Now, twist sections - it doesn’t have to be perfect - then tie in a twisted bun. 
  • After, I like to spray Bumble+Bumble Salt spray for texture. 

I prefer doing this at night and waking up with wavy hair.  If you want to piece out the waves, get a pomade (any will do) and warm up in your hands and loosely sweep through your hair.

Enjoy!
