Gatsby Hair Inspiration

Hair Styling Inspiration: Contemporary Pin Curls

With The Great Gatsby lighting up the sliver screen, many of this year’s hair, fashion, and beauty trends relate to the Roaring Twenties, which means it is a great time to try romantic pin curls, especially for special summer occasions. To use this piece of 1920s inspiration, mid-length locks work best. If that’s your style, artfully constructed pin-curls and finger-waves can give you a contemporary version of this classic retro vibe. For our styling tips, click the notes.

Step: Prep hair with protective thickening lotion. Take a deep side parting. Section hair from the top of the crown to the ear.

Step: Now take half-inch horizontal sections starting from the top. Subdivide those horizontal sections into three or four vertical sections. Now use an iron to create curl in these sections.

Step: The iron size will determine the tightness of the wave. Use a 3/4-inch iron for a definitive, flapper-inspired 1920s look. Or, for something softer and less curly, a bigger barreled iron is better. Either way, wrap hair on the iron going towards the face. Do this throughout the side, creating rows until you run out of hair.

Step: Pin curl clip these curls to head; spray with primp working spray; allow to cool; release clips.

Step: Brush out with a flat brush and form the wave with hands.

Step: To create an updo out of this texture, simply pin up the back with bobby pins.

The Eclectic Style of Kate Moss

 

True style lies in the successful breaking of fashion’s rules. A versatile dresser, Kate Moss epitomizes this thought; she navigates a chameleon world by using her senses as a guide. Despite reinventing herself into every epoch, from classic to vintage to bohemian to rock and roll she is always, irrefutably, Kate Moss. And as one of the two biggest trends of spring and summer is the nineties aesthetic (the other is the 1960s) that Miss Moss owned, we felt it the perfect time to look at the hairstyles of fashion’s ultimate IT girl. She’s donned so many looks during her career, including pixie-cuts, blunt bangs, and tousled waves. It makes it hard to define her best-ever image, which, perhaps, is why the world is obsessed. To see how Kate has worn her crowning glory over the years see below.

Kate Moss The New Face Of Kerastase

Fashion icon and supermodel Kate Moss wears big hair and a sultry gaze in her first photo shoot as the face and inspirational muse of French luxury haircare brand Kerastase.

The blonde Brit's lust-worthy tresses were styled into a glamorous wave by Luigi Murenu, using Kerastase products. The stunning black-and-white photos, featuring Moss in form-fitting sequins, were snapped by acclaimed Norwegian-born photographer, Sølve Sundsbø, who has previously lensed campaigns for Gucci, Chanel and Cartier.

While Moss is no stranger to a brand collaboration (we loved Kate Moss x Topshop) and is currently the face of S/S 2013 campaigns for Rag & Bone, Vivienne Westwood Gold Label and Versace, to name a few, this is the first time Kerastase has signed a famous face to front one of their campaigns—a first-time standard set super high.
