Hello Boho!
T
he spring and summer trends
are bringing back controlled
textures, simple and elegant
looks, with a strong influence
on low slung side partings - the texture
being ‘Old Hollywood meets Grunge’ ...
glamorous with a cool edge. Also there
will be buns at different heights, ballet
buns, topknots and low set on the nape.
Braiding is always huge this time of year.
TIGI’s Global Expert,
Aislinn Trodden, gives
you a lowdown on
the hippest looks for
Spring-Summer ‘14
Long Fishtail braids to the side and halo
plaits with voluminous curls will always
be a hit. Then of course all of these looks
will be draped in jewel encrusted head
pieces of all different shapes and sizes.

braided bun

Textured Soft Waves Soft
yet undone, this variation of the soft
waves hairstyle incorporates some of
that bed hair tousle and beachy texture.
Get the look: Apply Bed Head
Superstar Queen For a Day to dry hair then blow dry with
a round brush. Whilst the hair is still warm, spritz Bed Head
Maxed Out on each 2inch section, and wrap them around
your fingers horizontally and clip to the head. Let them cool
for a while and then take all the clips out and shake your
head upside down to encourage body and movement, finish
with Bed Head After Party to give separation and sheen.
One of the classiest
hairdos - the milkmaid
braid, is an epitome
in itself. The milkmaid
braid oozes innocence and an underlying
sensual awareness that not many hairstyles in
themselves can muster. Such a style has been
spotted, both on the street and on the runway.

Boho Twist Up ‘Dos Bohemian hair
makes us happy. Maybe it’s something about
how “undone” it looks: Loose, wavy, and with
stray hairs all over the place, it’s the ultimate
romantic hairstyle and somehow always
elevates your personality. The Boho twist updo
is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months.
Get the look: Prep the hair with Bed Head
Masterpiece. Then starting from your parting,
place in your braid working the three strands
under each other instead of over to create a
3D effect. Then start on the other side of your
parting and place in a second braid wrapping
them over each other at the back and pinning
into place, Spritz with Bed Head Headrush to
give shine.
Get the look: Prep hair with TIGI Rockaholic Fun Times hairspray
and part the hair in your usual parting. Now tie a loose ponytail
(this could be to the side, a low pony at the nape or at the occipital
bone). Part the ponytail in two and loosely tie in knots until you reach
the end and tie a band at the end. Now you can loop it around itself
to create a loose bun/side bun or if your hair is long enough, bring it
around to your front hairline and attach it like a braid at the front.

Low Ponytails From the
hassle-free to the extravagant, from
daytime to evening, the low ponytail
is amongst the hairstyles to master
for your spring 2014 hair repertoire.
Last year was all about a sleek
ponytail, a tie-in with the year’s sports fashion trend.
Through their style evolution, one thing about ponytail
hairstyles remains certain: they are styles that are never
to be going out of style. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise
that many of 2014’s hair trends are built upon the ponytail.
Get the look: Apply S Factor Dream Drops to pre
washed hair, blow dry sleek and straight, use S Factor
Flat Iron Spray on each section before using a
straightening iron, bring hair into a low pony at the nape
and spritz with S Factor Vivacious Hair Spray to hold the
look in place and mask any fly aways and add extra shine.

Wavy Bobs
Bobs are always
in style. They’re
practically
everywhere; so
if you want to
stand out a little bit, start rocking a
wavy bob!
Get the look: Prep pre washed hair
with Bed Head Totally Baked; rough
dry the product in, take a curling iron
and wrap pieces of hair around it,
spritzing with Bed Head Hard Head
Hairspray as you go. Let them cool
down and simply shake them through
with your fingers. Apply some Bed
Head Sugar Dust through them for
hold and longevity.
