Highlight from the VMAs: Jared Leto’s Macho Ombre

 

 

Three things needed to be a bad boy rock star: Leather jacket, white T-shirt, highlights. One may mock, but it was the Punks that started the trend, and nobody messes with them. At the VMAs, Jared Leto agreed. The style is a men’s long layer shape, with a masculine short to long feel. By eliminating bulk and creating a strong perimeter, it feels both soft and textured. But it’s the macho ombre that will be remembered. Jared’s dark brown roots blend to dirty blonde ends, lightening the face for a tough macho take on modern beauty trends.

Step: After growing hair out, ask your stylist for a masculine long layer razor-cut with center-part. Make sure of weight removal as this makes the space to create soft texture without the bulk. For the color, ask for hand-painted dark blonde ombre on the ends. By hand-painting on the color, it will look more natural.
Step: Towel-dry hair and make a center-part. Cocktail KEVIN MURPHY UNDRESSED and NIGHT RIDER in palms and work through hair. Scrunch, ruffle, shake and twist to create natural texture and movement.
Step: For the gritty lived-in finish, pulse layers of KERASTASE POWDER PUFF into roots and shake out.

HAIR THE PERFECT CANVAS

Twenty years ago hair color went mainstream and with it, straight hair became all the rage. As much as we love textured, tousled, layered styles, nothing shows off gorgeous color like a smooth curtain of healthy, straight hair. The pictured ombre sheds light on what we mean. The waveless, glassy surface encourages reflection, which redoubles the wow factor flare. From chin to derrière, any one-length cut provides an ideal canvas to showoff a distinctive pigment. Learn how this simple shape can help your color shine.

Step: Healthy hair is an absolute necessity for this look. Using Silk Sheen Shampoo and conditioner ensures maximum luster, nourishment and polish.
Step: Hair cut in a single line should be trimmed often to keep ends smooth and even.
Step: KMS Silk Sheen Polishing Serum adds sparkle when applied on damp ends and blown dry on high heat. Running over lengths with a flat iron gives a dazzling finish.
