HAIR-SPIRATION

Double Hair Knot
To capture the summer interpretation of the double hair knot, the simplest of instructions are as follows:
1.First, spritz the hair all over with a sea-salt spray (Orlando Pita used Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray)
2.Next, scrunch the hair into bunches while drying to add waves and texture
3.Pull a thick section of hair out at the front, sweeping it into a deep side part
4.Finally, take back two sections of hair and tie into a knot – then again into a double knot

Half Up Braided Hair
One of the keys to styling the half up braided hairstyle is to create both volume and texture. You know your hair best, so we won’t wax go into great detail on this step, suffice to say that:
•if you have fine hair you should apply a styling mousse while your hair is damp. While drying it pull the roots forwards
•if you have thick hair and / or aren’t in need of don’t need of extra volume then spray your hair with hairspray to give it hold
Next get out your heat styler of choice (a ghd ceramic straightener works well, or a curling wand) and create some gentle waves all around the head. These only need to be very loose waves. If your hair is naturally curly rather than starting with straight hair just dry it to be 3/4 straight, leaving in some of your natural texture and curl. You should now have a head of lightly tousled, textured waves. Make the texture more akin to bed hair by teasing or back-combing the hair at the crown with a comb, but only a small amount – you can see from both the photos that this is a braided hairstyle that is more about texture then it is about volume You’ll need the bottom half of your hair flowing free and the top half parted into two sections. Begin by separating the top two sections with a deep side part – the side of your hair that you choose to part is up to you and will most likely work best if you select to part your hair as it naturally falls. Next, take the larger of the two top sections and create a French braid along the head at a diagonal angle (e.g. from the part-line on the right side of the head back towards the left ear). Don’t keep the braid too close to the head – remember it’s meant to be a little textured and messy. The braid should only reach about half way down the head, with the rest of the hair hanging loose. After you’ve braided your hair half way down, secure the end of the braid with several bobby pins, crossing them over to ensure they stay in place. Repeat with another French braid on the other side of the head, using up the smaller top section of hair. You should now have a half up hairstyle with two braids along the top section. If it’s looking too neat, tousle up the braids with the fingers to loosen the whole look up and give it that effortlessly free-spirited feel. When you’re happy with the style give the whole head a light spray with some hairspray to keep it in place.

1.Work in ghd Maximise Mousse all through the hair, then dry in.

2.Section off the hair then use your ghd Salon Styler to create some loose, semi-curls (they need to have bend, but not be fully curly). Start curling a few inches down from the roots.
3.Spray the hair with ghd Sea Spray to create a relaxed, beachy texture.
4.Finally, blast the hair with a hair dryer to break it up.

I LOVE FALL FASHION

The weather cools. The color of clothing warms. I adore fall fashion. Reminds me of back to school shopping as a kid. A few of my favorites are Diane Von Furstenberg and Donna Karan.
