Rihanna’s Side-Twist Reveals a New Way to Braid

 

With everything from micro to milkmaid adorning our crowning glories, the beatnik elegance of braids has been a styling trend tour de force for several seasons. Now, however, there’s a new twine in town. Wearing it with a 1990s sportswear throwback ensemble, Rihanna’s tumbling, spiraling side-twist presents the perfect option for time-challenged style mavens. A quick to create, chunky, two strand twist that keeps long tresses controlled and away from the face, wear this style to impress your brunch date.

For our step by step how to see below.

 

Step: Liberally layer KEVIN MURPHY FRESH HAIR into dry hair. This will add texture, grit and grip, making it easier for your twist to stay together.
Step: Make a strong side-part and sweep hair across to long side of part. Gather hair in two sections, one taking hair from forward of crown, including bangs; one taking hair from the side and back.
Step: Down the side of the face, neck and shoulder, braid these two sections loosely together. Keep it thick and chunky at the top, moving gradually to a slighter and slighter twine. Secure with elastic. Mist with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY for hold and grip.

Switching from glam to grunge on a weekly basis.

Rihanna has a catalogue of stylistic tricks up her sleeve.

A cropped Riri scrubbed up nicely in a demure white gown for this year's Met Ball; and then ruptured this sleek image with a catalogue of almost entirely male shirts and low slung shorts for her recent 777 tour.

While Kelly Osbourne 's shift away from her lengthy teenage grunge phase deserves an essay in itself, the reality TV starlet still seems to be finding her fashion feet. August 2012 saw a scruffy-haired Kelly while September shifted to a no-nonsense, top-knotted attempt at high fashion, with Tim Burton's Willy Wonka shades on for good measure.

The lyrics of Nicki Minaj' s 2012 single 'Va Va Voom' have certainly got under the singer's skin; or in the mind of her stylist, at least. From just September to October this year, the singer embraced a whole colour palette of neon and bubblegum hues in her hair. Long may she never find muted shades.

Rihanna's Elegant Pony

Rihanna looks gorgeous with her hair pulled back into an elegant side-part ponytail. The bangs frame her face beautifully, and her radiant complexion is on show. This is a great look for a myriad of occasions. Try this style for a night out, a day at the office, or even running errands. Click through for style notes on how to reproduce the look.

Step: Apply a thermal protectant and flat iron your hair section by section.

We recommend KEVIN.MURPHY HEATED.DEFENCE

Step: Make a deep side part and use pomade to get high shine and holding power.

KEVIN.MURPHY EASY RIDER is great for the hold and mixed with a tiny bit of KEVIN.MURPHY YOUNG AGAIN to add the extra shine and gloss to the hair.  

Step: Smooth out the hair with a comb and pull your hair into a pony tail. Secure with an elastic!
