Emma Watson’s Ring of Milkmaids & Bling

 

 

 

 

 

 

The image of a bushy-haired, smugly obtrusive witch may be a fun fad, but it’s not the typecast on which to build a lasting career in the Hollywood Nouveau. So since the end of the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson has been busy reinventing her image. She cut her hair into a fashionable, mod-inspired crop; and now she’s the sexy, nefarious bad girl in Sofia Coppola’s new flick, The Bling Ring. Here she shows us how to make a beatnik milkmaid braid upscale and elegant. Keeping hair up and off the face, she raises the profile of her cheekbones and chin, while creating room for her dazzling jewelry to sparkle. The look exemplifies that twines can be used for more than the disheveled elegance of modern street stye; keep them polished, refined, combined with the right ensemble, and braids can also be a special occasion ‘do. For tips on creating milkmaids like Emma’s, see below.

Step: Prep hair with KEVIN MURPHY FRESH HAIR dry shampoo. Layer into hair, shake and tousle with hands, creating a gritty texture with lots of grip –– which is perfect for braiding.

Step: Divide crown into two sections. Loosely braid each of the two sections into its own two-strand entwine. Secure each side with elastic. Grab one of the braids and cross it over the opposite braid. Pin in place. Repeat on the opposite side, creating a polished milkmaid braid.

Step: Mist finished style with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY to calm down flyways, add hold and grip.

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.
