Supermodel Hair: 10 Hair Tricks to Try Tonight
Keep up a winning streak with fabulous new style ideas.
-
Go for Sexy Pigtails
The key to doing the grown-up kind of pigtails is to place them low down at your neck (not up by your ears) and tie with transparent elastic bands.
-
Use Clips That Match Your Hair Colour
Criss-cross two honey-hued clips in an X above your ears to pull your sides back. Because they might be similar to your hair colour, the look is polished not sloppy. Try clips for a quick day-to-night transformation.
-
Make Relaxed Waves
Roll hair in hot rollers, leave in for half an hour (do your makeup, have coffee, whatever) and remove. “Don’t brush your hair”. Just go through it with your hands and rub in serum. You want to coax out the waves, not stifle them.
-
Get Holiday Hair All Year Round
Texturising sprays that give hair a tousled, beachy look also tend to leave it dull. Mix water, salt and a few drops of lemon juice in a spray bottle; spritz on dry hair. It really works
-
Pouf the Roots
“You get a full look without doing much.” Skip the fine tooth comb and tease from forehead to crown with a rubber-cushioned brush. It’s more flexible and won’t frizz it up.
-
Try a Half-Done Updo
Flip your head over; pull your hair into a pony tail and coil into a loose bun. Pin in place, then pull out a few pieces around your face-don’t be wimpy about making them thicker than you’re used to.
-
Give Hair All-Over Volume
For a petty night look that’s easy to do: flip hair upside-down and smooth in a pea size blob of styling wax. Flip back up and sprinkle a tiny bit of baby powder into your hands. Rub hands together and run your fingers through the underside of your hair to coat each strand and increase your hair thickness (don’t worry it’ll be invisible).
-
Do A Few Braids
Two or three are plenty. Don’t start them right at your face or they’ll look dorky. Set them back a bit, keep them thin and not too neat. Use clear elastics to secure them. Keep the plaits for three days.
-
Switch to a New Parting
Nothing’s easier if you want to reboot your style. Go from a side parting to a middle one. It’s more convenient.
-
Relax Already!
Don’t slave, your hair undone looks sexy. Sleep, then finger-comb in the morning. It’s the perfect look for weekends
