3 Hairstyles to Try From Balmain A/W 16
1.
Sleek, Parted Hair
This is a really classic, clean style that looks amazingly powerful. It is perfect for pairing with more graphic looks and minimal styles this Autumn.
To get the look, run some Strong Styling Gel through damp hair, combing through the hair. It gives gorgeous hold, perfect for the sleek look.
Use a fine tooth comb to get a really crisp parting. For the finishing touch, add a touch of the Shine Wax, warming it up in your hands before running over your hair. 2.
Strong, Voluminous Curls
Curls, waves and natural textures are huge for this season. This look keeps the same strong parting but then softens it up with big, loose curls. It is an update on the classic 1970s curls that are always popular in Autumn.
Get the look by spritzing with the Texturizing Salt Spray all over damp hair, as well as a touch of Volume Mousse on the roots. Comb through and part the hair before rough drying and then curling with a big curling tong.
Use your fingers to comb out and separate the curls and then spray with Texturising Volume Spray for final hold and oomph. 3.
Sophisticated Textures
This is a pared back but beautifully sophisticated look with a touch of a retro revival in there. The straight roots keep it clean and modern, with glossy waves towards the ends for a touch of glamour.
To get the look, apply the Pre-Styling Cream to damp hair before blow drying in sections with a large round bristle brush, adding curls to the ends of the hair. Keep the curling angles consistent for an extra sleek look.
Brush through with a paddle brush to brush the curls into soft, even and glossy waves before finishing off with the Leave-In Conditioning spray for a soft, silky look.
