Hairstyles can reflect the mood of a moment
“This hairstyle is thus really for a woman of today, and is more about a feeling than it is about a set style.”
What can be learned from Fashion Week 2013? That we don’t actually need to be perfect, at least according to legendary hair stylist Guido. “I didn’t want this blow dry to feel too fresh or perfect, I wanted it to feel a little old, like it might be on the second day … it feels luxurious but not in an obviously luxurious way. It’s a minimal idea for hair.”
He’s talking about hair at the Reed Krakoff Fall 2013 show, but is there a larger, unexpected happiness message in the trappings of beauty? Fashion and beauty trends are indicators of the times, so if this hairstyle is a stylish manifestion of the nation’s consciousness, perhaps we’re all striving for something—that feeling, that look—that’s a little less prescribed and a little more simply who we are.
Need a little guidance on embracing your confidence through hair? Ladies, here’s how to get the look:
- Wash hair—start the style with clean, fresh hair.
- Create a messy center part.
- Section hair and blow-dry with a round brush, letting each section cool on the brush.
- Blow-dry the hair again quickly once done; add hair powder/dry shampoo to the lengths to create a more “lived in” texture (second-day hair).
Of course, the point here is to make it your own, so feel free to modify!
