I honestly never know how to put my hair up in a feminine yet funky style. A style that doesn't look too stuffy but also one that looks like it is not just my hair thrown up on my head- trying to look good, but looking like a hot mess.
YOU KNOW THE KIND OF WOMEN I'm referring to right? Yeah, I don't want to b one of those! So with holiday parties starting, I asked Jenny Balding, Cutler/Redken Stylist to share her favorite style to take you from work to play – and the best part – you can achieve this look in under 10 minutes!
Start with day old hair as you’ll have some texture in your hair and it will be easier to manage.
Use dry shampoo to really boost the texture of your roots (Redken Pillow Proof dry shampoo is excellent).
Spray throughout your roots and even the mid-lengths to create body and texture. Shake through with your fingers.
Use a light hairspray for a little hold – Redken Fashion Work 12 Versatile Hairspray works best as it is a versatile spray. Mist over all and shake up with your hands to really create body and movement.
Section out the crown and front area and pin to one side.
Sweep the sides and back together and then twist upwards and pin. Make sure to use hairpins (U shaped pins) so they can really anchor the hair.
Take your top section and roll under and pin at the crown for a little height in this area.
Loosen the hairline a little with your fingers to work suits your face shape best then add a hair accessory of your choice.
To finish, add a little shine by misting Redken Diamond Oil High Shine Airy Mist all over – this is very light but gives just the right amount shine you need.
