Fresh Spring Hair Styles

Part of my job is to find great clothing for Hysteria. Inevitably my clients ask me how to style their selections. So my passion for all things stylish come into play along with my love for hair and makeup. Here are some great ideas for how to make that perfect effortless but chic ponytail and a new take on a casual up do.

The French Girl Ponytail

“Chic but not overdone,” was how Bumble + bumble stylist Travis Speck described the cool, French-girl-inspired ponytail seen at Wes Gordon. That windswept texture can be achieved by misting on Bumble + bumble Prep, Thickening Hairspray and Surf Spray before blowdrying (or just step out in the breeze, we think) followed by a dusting of White Hair Powder to give strands some grip. Then gather hair into a big, loose pony that slightly swoops over the ears, and wrap a few strands around the base of the tail. Et viola, you’re done.

A Fresh Alternative to the Casual Up Do

To achieve it, sweep hair back high and off the face (no part necessary). Flip the ponytail forward and pin with a thin clip about two inches from the base. Then flip the ponytail back down toward the nape of the neck and secure with a second clip to create the playful bump.
