Clothing inspired by the 70’s popped up all over the fall 2011 Fashion Week runways, and now hair styles are following suit. Celebrities have been seen sporting the trend en mass lately with straight, center parted looks.
Celebrity Hairstylist Kevin Mancuso, who has worked with A-listers like Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Kristen Bell, offers his tips for achieving this sleek style:
“The key to a gorgeous straight style is to create a slight lift at the crown so hair has movement and doesn’t just lie flat,” said Mancuso. “To avoid feeling dated, add a series of long, one length layers throughout for additional swing at the ends.”
PREP:
· Start by applying Nexxus Mousse Plus Volumizing Foam Styler directly to damp hair for fullness, body and density.
· Press mousse into hair from roots to ends for all-over volume and textured hold.
STYLE:
· Create a middle part and blow dry hair using a large round brush. By blow drying instead of ironing, you create volume and flexibility, so you can form the shape you want, and keep hair from looking limp.
· Use the blow dryer to bend ends slightly under for a flattering, face framing shape.
FINISH:
· Lightly mist hair with Nexxus Comb Thru Natural Design and Finishing Mist for flexible hold and shine that lasts.
