Texture: Charlotte








As we struggle to get through this never-ending winter, I find it helps to plot out what comes next. Spring 2011 is bright, bold with more than a nod to 70's relaxed easy style. What does this mean for hair? Our take is a no (well, little) muss no fuss approach. Hair's natural texture will come shining through. This is either great news, or scary news, depending on you and your hair. However, I assure you, with the right cut and products, even the trickiest texture can look fabulous. 

HeaD AreA model Charlotte exemplifies this notion. Her loose natural wave has a tendency to fall flat in dryer months.  Working with her facial features and natural texture, stylist Kelly gives her a series of weight eliminating layers so that her curls spring rather than fade. By leaving a little length and weight in Charlotte's fringe, they appear natural and a true extension of the cut. 

To achieve the above look, we've used Bumble & Bumble's Curl Conscious Shampoo & Conditioner, followed and all over mist of Prep, a healthy amount of both Defining Creme and Holding Foam applied tips to roots. Brilliantine was applied after a diffused blow-dry to further polish and enhance texture.
