take them out when dry and brush through with your fingers.

Too easy!

hair MOVEMENT

INSIDER INFO...

Hair that has movement, and doesn't fall flat, makes you look younger because it creates the illusion 

of high cheekbones and eyes that are awake.

 Here's how to get 'movement' in your hair at home...

When hair is damp, flip your head upside down, spray a texturiser on palms, and rake fingers through roots, lifting hair away from your scalp as you blow-dry. When only your roots are dry, flip upright and you'll see instant volume. Then, as you dry the rest of your hair, stretch out strands with a nylon-bristle brush—follow through from root to tip, flicking ends upward to add subtle curve. 

Extra tip: Blow-drying small sections of hair lets you extend strands more efficiently.

To get movement in your hair at the salon,

LOVING THE HAIR @ STELLA MCCARTNEY S/S 2012, IT'S PERFECT FOR SUMMER!

Here's the insider info...

Hairstylist Eugene Souleiman looked no further than McCartney herself to get inspiration for the high and tight chignons. "What can I say? It's just Stella," he said of the bun that he swept up at the crown, coiled, and pinned to hold. Breaking out a blush brush to go over a layer of hair spray he had spritzed onto the sides to create sleekness without any harsh lines, Souleiman used his fingertips to rake hair back from the hairline, manipulating slight grooves along the surface. 

Simple as it all seemed, there was definitely a point of view to the style. "Get rid of that Alberta Ferretti stuff—it's way too romantic," Souleiman advised a member of his team to emphasize the "very chic, but slightly tougher and more masculine" message.

BREAK BAD HAIR HABITS – before they break your hair... 

Here are the main offenders: 

1. THE TOWEL TURBAN: Wearing a towel turban to dry your hair can cause the hairs around your hairline to snap and break. Instead, wrap the length of your hair in a towel and twist it gently. If you have short hair, blot it dry. 

 2. TAKING LONG SHOWERS: Staying under hot water for five minutes or more makes your cuticles open, making your hair weak and more vulnerable. 

 3. SLEEPING ON A ROUGH PILLOWCASE: Coarse cotton pillowcases can cause friction which damages fragile hair. Sleeping on a satin or super-fine cotton pillowcase can help prevent damage.
