nye HAIR INSPIRATION

WANTING A MORE ELEGANT HAIRSTYLE FOR YOUR NEW YEARS EVE PARTY?

You can't go past a chignon {one of the big trends of 2011}!

 Whether it's classic or on the side, worn high as the ballerinas do, or just grazing the neck, smooth and intricately pinned, or tucked and clasped with jewels 

~ the look is simply sophisticated, and always elegant !

hair inspiration: ALEXA CHUNG

ALEXA'S LONG 'LOB' IS PERFECT FOR ALL HAIRED TYPES, 

particularly fine hair!

To copy-cat the cut: Part hair down the middle and cut it in a clean line to above the collarbone. Then, to give it a little swing, add some long, barely there layers. The fringe should be trimmed to the cheekbones. 

To copy-cat styling: Dab a shine serum on wet hair and blow-dry it straight using a round brush. Flip hair upside down and mist with a light hair spray running your fingers through it to loosen the layers. Bring your head back up and finish with a quick blast from the hair dryer at the roots.

the slick PONYTAIL

A HIGH PONYTAIL NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE FOR SUMMER

- especially if you keep it super-slick... 

 To ensure that frizz and flyaways aren't going to ruin your look, work a pea-size drop of smoothing lotion into your roots and hairline before blow-drying. Brush the hair back and secure it just below your crown. To make your ponytail gleam, rub a drop of shine serum between your palms, them run them over the tail from base to ends. 

+ If you're at the beach for the day, you can add a dollop of leave-in conditioner instead of the smoothing lotion to condition and protect your hair! 

 PS. This style works even better if your hair is a bit dirty!
