Lordy, Lorde Is A Pop Princess

Lordy, Lorde Is A Pop Princess

 

The first New Zealander to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Lorde became pop royalty in 2013. Appropriately, The Wild Magazine dressed her in a regal crown for an editorial featured in their Youth Issue. Actually, what we love is the combination of hair textures; from straight at the crown, her style tumbles into a mass of terrific beach waves that surround her unusual and striking features.

 

 

 

Men’s Cuts: Toughly Tousled

Men’s Cuts: Toughly Tousled

For men, styling can be a challenge, especially if their strands fall somewhere between straight and curly. Slick, dapper looks are great for a night on the town, but men should have a casual option too, one that works with their texture. The prohibition era styles of the last few season can be hard to wear natural, especially with wavy textures. The cuts shown here offer a stylish alternative. They have enough length and weight to encourage movement with tapered edges that keep things neat.

Step 1: Ask your stylist for a classic graduated haircut with length at the front. And don’t even think about going to a barber; for this cut to look its best it needs to be customized for your specific texture and growth pattern, something that only an expert stylist can do.

Step 2: At home, shampoo and condition with a gentle hydrating shampoo we recommend Pure Lattouf Hydrate my hair sulphate free shampoo.

Step 3: After showering, towel dry hair very well. Mix together a nickel each of KEVIN.MURPHY NIGHT.RIDER and KEVIN MURPHY UN.DRESSED. Run through strands, starting at the crown and working out to prevent clumping at the front hairline. Part if desired and tousle into place.

This smoldering pic confirms her beguiling aesthetic. A flowing, waving center-part in rich caramel brown, her long-layered hairstyle is the perfect fit for her come-hither glare. To learn how to create it, see below.

Step: Ask your colorist for a rich caramel brown with a few lighter pieces around the face frame. For the cut, classic long layers are the perfect fit.
Step: At home, cocktail Kerastase short mania and forme Fatale and work through strands, roots to ends.
Step: Blowdry with large round brush for volume and curvy shape.
Step: Spray Gloss Appeal through mid-lengths and ends and use a curling wand to add extra tousle.
Step: Finish with Spray a Porter for extra definition.

The Punk Movement Continues...

Spring Trends To Wear Now: Punk

The popularity of DIY owes a lot to the early punk movement. While nowadays the term punk is applied to teens with mohawks and safety-pin embellished ensembles, the original movement created a new aesthetic that moved against mainstream ideas about fashion, spawning a look that defied style norms. Androgynous haircuts, chalking, tousled styling, and disconnection are great ways to integrate punk into your style.

Step: Asymmetric cuts have an imperfect, DIY quality that adds edge to any style. For the most dramatic version, play around with extreme length contrasts, like pairing long hair with micro bangs or super short sides with a long, mohawk-inspired top. Keep edges piecey for a lived-in feeling. The new hybrid pixie bob is a perfect example of a modern take on this look. 

Step: High contrast blocks of color create a bold, gritty feeling. Ask your Lattouf colorist to create a placement that enhances your overall shape or embrace DIY and use hair chalk to create temporary color effects at home. Our fav is KEVIN.MURPHY COLOUR.BUG NEON 

Step: Use low sheen, texture enhancing products to get a grungy finish. KERASTASE POWDER BLUFF dry shampoo is great for holding high volume styles and creating a matte finish. KERASTASE SHORT MANIA will give detailed separation and mussed up appeal to short styles and the NEW KERASTASE LAQUE DENTELLE will give flexible hold and grit to gravity defying shape.

Retro Glamour

 

This gorgeous chestnut brown single process colour captures the wonder of winter beauty trends. The long-length cut with minimal layering is a great example of the glamour of voluminous tresses, created with a blow-dry or hot roller set. Reminiscent of the 1920s, with a creative modern twist, it works day or night.

Step: On wet hair, apply Kevin.Murphy.Stickey.Business and a pump of Kevin.Murphy Young.Again and apply from roots to ends.

Step: If setting by blow-dry, use large round brush to wrap sections into rolls and pin in place. Alternatively, use hot rollers or a set in salon.

Step: Once set is dry, use your blow-dryer to apply some cool air. This strengthens the set.

Step: Release pins or unwind rollers. Brush out the set using flat brush. Focus on creating waves with smoothness.

Step: Finish and smooth with a touch of Kevin Murphy Shimmer Shine for a reflective shine on hair and Session Spray for extra hold and structure. Create a romantic flowing shape. Use pins if you need to fix hair away from the face.
