HOW-TO: 2 Ready-to-Wear Style Ideas: Goddess Updo and Grunge Chic

This upcoming Fall, Celebrity Stylist Nicholas Penna Jr. predicts that updos with flashy embellishments, grunge chic waves, classy top knots and dazzling pinned-back styles are going to be the fad of the season. Here, he offers steps to 2 ready-to-wear styles you could try for your clients.

Updo Goddess

Add versatility to this voluminous updo by adding a headscarf or gold embellishments for a more formal look.

STEP 1: Apply dry shampoo through the hair to take in excess oil and increase volume.

STEP 2: Once hair is prepped, section off a strip of hair running from front to the back of the pinnacle. The section may also be wide or narrow, counting on your required look.

STEP 3: Backcomb or tease the roots of the hair in a single-inch sections with a skinny comb, working your way forward to front.

STEP 4: Once the specified volume is achieved, smooth the remainder of the hair up and over the teased section using a paddle brush. To create more of a pompadour, take the edges of the hair and pull back right into a braided or simple bun.

STEP 5: Prefer a gold headband or gold embellishments.

Glamour Grunge

Go edgy this autumn season with textured, “glamorous” grunge waves. To get the look, pull apart the waves for a more distressed look.

STEP 1: This look works best on unwashed hair, but when your client has clean strands, add texture to the look by applying L’Oreal Professionnel True Grit Texturizing Powder.

STEP 2: Part the hair at the desired side and gently run fingers through hair—stay clear of a comb or a broom, these tools will frizz the specified look.

STEP 3: With A 2 inch-curling iron, pick sections of hair randomly through hair, and curl the lowest half. Loosen curls with fingers when they have cooled.

STEP 4: Finish with a dusting of texturizing powder.
