Nicholas Penna Jr, owner/lead stylist of SalonCapri in Boston presents his spring 2014 trend forecast, with hair styles inspired by the various hottest looks from the catwalks of latest York Fashion Week. Amongst them is an intricate, basket-weave bun with intertwining pieces of hair formed right into a breathtaking updo; a brand new variety of braid—peek a boo style; and what we wish to name an “un-braided” mermaid tail. Get excited to aim a majority of these out for your clients within the salon.

Here, is a step-by-step at the basket-weave bun!

The Basket Weave Bun

STEP 1: Start by generously lathering hair with Kerastase Life Vertige Root-Uplifting Gel to smooth frizz and provides hair volume. Start by grabbing hair on top of head and pulling it straight backward, as though to begin a French braid. 

STEP 2: While holding that part of hair in place, alternate grabbing 1-inch sections of hair from the left and right side of head, and intertwining them. Continue this system down the back of the pinnacle to create the basket-weave look. Spray periodically with a finishing spray to maintain hair in place.

STEP 3: When reaching the nape of the neck, create a messy bun with the rest hair, and secure with a hair elastic. For a messier look, leave some pieces out, and bobby pin extraneous hair loosely across the bun.

STEP 4: Finish with L’Oreal Professionnel Perfect Shimmer Shine Illuminating Mist for weightless hold and shine.
