The inspiration: So not to hide the
brightly-colored lips that complimented the highlighter-hued garments in Nanette Lepore's Spring 2012 collection, the designer requested that the model's hair be pulled back off of the their faces. Originally looking for something big, dry, and frizzy, this style came to Beauchamp when the test model walked into the hair test and let down her ponytail.
Try this trend: This natural, easy look requires minimal effort. Start by applying a generous amount of Thickening Spray at the front of your head and on the sides to give your hair a product-heavy finish. Blow dry using only your hands. Once dried, work in a styling wax at the hairline by running your hands through the hair to give it an ever-so-slight greasiness. For fine hair, spritz Surf Spray on your ends to give it a more dry, separated texture.
