Steal Alexa Chung's hair from FNO

Alexa Chung stepped out for Fashion’s Night Out wearing simple beach waves and a subtle ombre.

We love her understated style owing to the fact that it is uncomplicated yet pretty, and totally her

signature style. Click through for steps on how to create your own beach waves.

Step 1:

  Start with damp hair and towel dry. Apply styling whip, roots to ends.
Follow with styling creme, roots to ends. (If hair needs extra encouragement to wave 

and curl, substitute styling creme for curl enhancer.)

Step 2:

 Wrap two-to-three inch sections of hair around your fingers, creating tight, hand-held twists.
Blow-dry each hand-held twist up and down with the nozzle pointing down. 

Repeat all over for shape and style.

Step 3:

  Add texture, volume, and the gritty, lived-in beachy feel by pulsing refinish dry shampoo 

into the roots. Tousle and shake out.

A Quick Updo Anyone Can Do

Reminiscent of the classic ballerina bun and more work appropriate than a tutu, this topknot is a fun,

flattering and easy way to get hair up and out of the way. Adding a soft, disheveled braid brings

romantic femininity to the style. This look easily transitions from day to night, setting off a simple

tee, a dramatic neckline, or a statement piece of jewelry.

Step 1: 

Pull all of your hair into a high ponytail and secure with a rubber band. 

Use holding spray to smooth.

Step 2:

 Braid the ponytail loosely and finish with a rubber band. 

Fold over the front of the ponytail and secure the ends underneath with bobby pins.

Step 3:

 Use your fingers to pull apart the ponytail and finish with Refinish Dry Shampoo for 

a roughed-up, gritty texture.

UM.... IN LOVE!

Enough said!

What better compliments an über-soft, frothy and feminine collection, at Honor, than multi-faceted

crystals tucked into a nest of braids?! Yes, please!

 

Get Younger Looking Hair

When it comes to preserving your youth, there are a few sure-bets: 

Eat well, wear SPF, exercise more regularly than you drink and take good care of your hair.

 While the last one might surprise you, studies show that having a thick, shiny mane is an indicator

 of being at your peak. And the reverse is true as well — hair that’s a bit worn out or damaged can add years to your look. 

Luckily, you can turn back the clock on your locks without lasers or injections. 

 From shampoos that eliminate toxins to vitamin-enhanced thickening treatments to color-reviving

masks, the latest anti-aging fixes will restore your hair to its past (and present) perfect condition.

 "One of my fantasies has always been to one day recreate Audrey Hepburn's up 'do in Breakfast

 at Tiffany's. This year, I got that chance. I was lucky enough to collaborate with 

MARK CHRISTOPHER SALON in Raleigh. Thank you, Mark. You did an excellent job. Wish you

could follow me around, styling my hair all of the time. Aside from blogging, I also work on a

Fashion Tips and Trends column for Triangle Style Magazine. This is part of the Fall issue's project."

I can't wait to share the final outcome of both outfits!  

Look for the photos in this months issue of Triangle Style!

4 Beach-Ready Looks to End the Summer

 Although we never tire of classic, tousled beach waves, we’ve

been lusting after some other looks that will help keep your hair up and safe from the ocean spray.

Keep reading to see our 4 favorite styles to rock at the beach this summer. 

 1. Messy Fishtail

Divide hair into two sections. Grab a strand of hair from one section and cross it over to the other

section. Then grab a strand from the second section and cross it over to the first. 

Continue to do this until you’ve finished the fishtail.

2. Milkmaid Braids

Divide hair into two sections. Loosely braid each section, then cross each one 

over the head to the other side. Pin in place.

3. Disheveled Bun

Gather hair into a high ponytail at the top of the head. Wrap hair around

 the base of the ponytail to create a bun. Pin in place.

4. Braided Half-Up, Half-Down

Grab a section of hair from one side of the head and loosely braid it. 

Do the same with a section on the other side. 

Pull both braided sections back behind the head and secure with an elastic.
