These vintage-inspired waves are offset with a middle part to create one of the most popular bohemian hairstyles on the red carpet.
How To Style:
First, decide which side you would like your braid to fall towards.
Create a small to medium sectioned and sized French braid.
Secure the end of the braid with a tiny clear elastic.
Use a large barrel curling iron to form curls in any direction
To complete the look, I would recommend braiding the hair coming from the end of the braid as well.
Recommended Products:
Your favorite shine spray can be applied to your hands as you use your hands to loosen your curls ever so slightly.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Naturally curly or wavy hair textures will benefit the most from this style and any face shape will be flattered.
Tips:
This look is not supposed to be “perfect”. Do not be afraid to loosen the braid or mismatch the pattern of your waves.
CHESTNUT WAVES
How To Style:
Part hair down the center, then use a large barrel curing iron to create variations of larger curls or waves.
Use a flat brush to gently soften the waves to create more of an “s” shaped curl.
Recommended Products:
Bumble and Bumble’s Styling Lotion is a great product for this style. Apply it from roots to ends prior to blow drying to create a flexible and smooth hold.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Naturally straight or wavy hair textures will work best for this style and all face shapes can wear this look.
Tip:
Try a middle part! If you wear it with confidence, it will project that way. The great part about this style is that you are able to move the part to either side, if you prefer to do so.
RAPUNZEL REINCARNATE
How To Style:
Starting at the lower part of your crown, create a large fishtail braid.
Make sure to loosen and leave some of the curls out around the top section of your head to create a messier and more interesting look.
Recommended Products:
Dirty hair works best for this! Use a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and create even more texture. Bumble & Bumble’s Pret-a-Powder would work wonders for this look. Make sure to apply at the root and really work into the hair before braiding.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Type:
Naturally curly hair is the ideal hair type for this look. It’s a great way to skip shampooing your hair for one more day! Any face shape can try this style.
How To Style:
Create an inverted French braid working away from the face.
Start with larger sections, and make the sections tinier as you go, this will create a more interesting visual effect to the look.
Secure the end of the braid with a clear elastic.
Recommended Products:
The dirtier the hair, the better for a “grippier” feeling and easer braiding. If you need to add some grip to cleaner hair, try a hair powder dusted from roots to ends prior to braiding.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
The curlier the hair, the better! Wavy hair is also greatly complimented by this look. Any face shape can rock this textured braid.
