We know you’re on top of the latest hair trends, so a few weeks ago, we invited you to email us with your most pressing ‘back-to-basics’ hair questions. We took the ten most frequently asked, then consulted some of the leading international hair stylists and colourists to bring you ten definitive answers. Here’s exactly what you wanted to know:
Get in a tousle
Q: My ‘blah’ straight hair is just begging for some texture and volume. How do I get that perfect tousled look?
A: Textured, matte hair is big news this season, with hair taking on an earthy look and feel, and a range of textures. But, as leading backstage stylist Eugene Souleiman, Wella Professionals Creative Director of Style, who perfected the look at Missoni and Etro, can testify, it takes more than a rockin’ night in bed to get the look. As catwalk looks go, though, it’s pretty easy to achieve: ‘Blow the hair out, using a little product at the roots to add a bend to the hair,’ he says, ‘then twist it very loosely into a bun, and pin on top of your head. Spritz the bun with a little salt spray and dry with a diffuser for about five minutes. Let hair cool down for a further five, then shake it out, massaging the roots for a little extra uplift.’ To get the super-matte, ‘cavewoman-meets-couture’ look, here’s a neat trick courtesy of hair legend Errol Douglas. ‘Dust roots with a tiny sprinkling of baby powder – it gives instant texture and volume,’ he says.
